Recognizing the Network’s Top Producers: 7/14/10
With Top Echelon’s recruiter networks, we do our best to recognize our Top Producers, those recruiters who consistently make placements within the Network, split or otherwise. One of the traditional ways in which we’ve honored these Preferred Members in the past is during our annual awards banquet at the National Convention every spring. Each award winner has been recognized, and if they’re in attendance, they’ve received their award on the spot and in front of their peers. However, we also recognize recruiters for both monthly and quarterly performance in The Pinnacle blog.
For the monthly awards, winners are announced in three categories–Recruiter of the Month, Highest Split Fee of the Month, and Highest Non-Split Fee of the Month. Similar awards are announced on a quarterly basis. With the announcement of June’s award winners, we’re also including the specific criteria that we use to determine the winners of both the monthly and quarterly awards. We’ve included it in order to clarify any discrepancies that recruiters may believe exist and also to explain our rationale for awarding Members for performance.
As always, if you have any suggestions for additional recognition awards, please email those suggestions to marketing@TopEchelon.com. Below are the winners of last month’s awards, as well as the awards for the second quarter of the year. We’d like to congratulate those Members who earned them and thank them for their efforts.

Highest Split Fee of the Month–$45,000
Eric Stearley, CPC of Eric V. Stearley, CPC & Associates and Brian Haugh of Chicago Search Group, Inc.
These guys look familar and well they should. When you split a $45,000 fee, that’s an accomplishment that’s going to be tough to beat during any month of the year.

Highest Non-Split Fee of the Quarter–$32,500
David Wood of The David Wood Company
The position for this placement was a Maintenance Planner. The starting salary was $130,000, and David’s fee for placing the candidate was 25%. He made the placement through Top Echelon’s corporate website.

Highest Non-Split Fee of the Quarter–$32,500
David Wood of The David Wood Company
Once again, not only did Wood win the award for Highest Non-Split Fee of the Month during the second quarter, he also captured the award for the month of June. A non-split fee in excess of $30,000 will do that for you.

Our criteria for these awards:
Top Echelon Network is a split fee recruiting network. As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes a large part of our criteria for these awards. We determine the monthly and quarterly award winners based upon two things:
1.) The number of split placements made
2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned
