“Making 33 split placements totaling nearly $1 million ($962,873) for years 2022 and 2023 combined that I never would have achieved sourcing on my own certainly tops the list. But [I’m] also appreciative of the many great partnerships built, which is the magic behind those numbers.”

“In June of 2023, I made a placement with a TEN recruiter. In November of 2023, the candidate again applied for the same recruiter’s position I had posted on Indeed and got hired, generating two split placements in under six months!”

Sara Alexandroff of Sterling St. James, Inc.

“I was asked by a client to fill a VP position in a discipline out of my wheelhouse and geographical area. I called Drea [Codispoti] and asked him if there were any TE partners who worked in that discipline, and he gave me a few names. I partnered with one of those recruiters, got the search, and made a 95K placement fee, which up until earlier this year was the largest in TE history. If not for TE, I probably would not have gotten the search or the final placement.”

“One of my children thought that what I did for a living was pretty easy, so I said, ‘Okay, here’s a CFO search. You fill it.’ So, my 12 year-old child surfed the Internet, contacted someone by email, got a resume, made a Q&A email, and then presented the candidate to the job order recruiter as me (with my permission). [It was a] $35K fee! I never told the job order recruiter, but this is a true story.”

Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc.

“The greatest [story] is that I was one of the original users of Top Echelon Contracting and because of the Network, I was able to attract large contracts from Big Pharma. Everyone prospered: TEN/TEC, many CRAs, and Med Exec International.”
