Presenting the Top 10 TE Recruiters for 2022

It’s that time of year again . . . that’s right, the time of year when we talk about last year.

Specifically, we’d like to discuss the top recruiters in Top Echelon Network for 2022. And even more specifically than that, we’d like to discuss the top 10 TE recruiters of the year.

And a LOT happened this past year. For one thing, Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group was a repeat winner of the Recruiter of the Year Award.

Second, Michael broke the record for the most money billed in a calendar year through the Network: nearly $1.4 million. The record was previously held by Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group. Last year marked the second straight year that Michael billed more than $1 million through TE.

Third, for the first time in the history of Top Echelon Network, there were two million dollar producers during a calendar year. They were Michael and Trey, who billed a little over $1.1 million in 2022.

Fourth, Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc. was in the mix once again. In 2021, he finished in second place overall in TE, and in 2022, he finished in third place with $578K in Network billings.

And fifth, every recruiter in the top 10 billed more than $200K through the Network in 2022. That may be the first time that’s happened in Top Echelon’s history.

Before we unveil the full list of top-producing recruiters (although I suspect that we have already done that), I must trot out our usual disclaimer regarding these rankings:

Our annual list of the top recruiters is determined by Top Echelon Network members’ cash-in total in our split network on a rolling 12-month basis. The order of the list below reflects the recruiters’ cash-in totals for the 2022 calendar year, which ended at midnight on December 31, 2022.

So congratulations to the recruiters listed below and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement during the year of 2022!
