Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

A Close Race for the Largest Fee of the Quarter!

by Matthew Deutsch on January 13, 2025

It was a close race for the Largest Split Fee of the Quarter in TE Network for the fourth quarter of 2024!

That’s because the largest split fee edged out the second-largest split fee by just $500.

Claiming the top spot were Aldin Beslagic of BestLogic Staffing and Amir Asgari of Saba Talent, who placed a VP of Sales (Aerospace Services) to earn a $63,000 fee at 20%.

In second place were Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Jeff Katz of JSK Recruiting. Amy and Jeff placed a Sr. Director of Global Maintenance Process Systems to earn a fee of $62,500 at 25%.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that Amy dominated the board in terms of the top 10 largest split fees of the fourth quarter. That’s because, as you can see below, she was part of four of the top 10 fees!

And of course, this is one of the big reasons she also earned Recruiter of the Quarter honors for the fourth quarter of 2024!

As a reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its Network split fee recruiting awards in four distinct categories:

1.) Recruiter of the Month
2.) Largest Split Fee of the Month
3.) Recruiter of the Quarter
4.) Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

We only announce the winners of these awards in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We do so usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

Congratulations to everybody who made the largest split fees in TE Network during the quarter!

Recruiter of the Quarter

The Top 10 TE Network Recruiters of the Quarter

by Matthew Deutsch on January 12, 2025

Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing certainly made the most of the TE Network split placements she made during the fourth quarter of 2024.

That because, although she made just six splits, her “cash-in” for those six placements totaled a whopping $110,426. That total is good enough to earn her the title of Recruiter of the Quarter!

That means for every split that Amy made during the fourth quarter, the average amount that she received—including after Top Echelon’s 6% brokerage fee—was $18,404. The fees associated with those placements were some mighty big fees, indeed.

By contrast, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting, another perennial TE top producer, made 12 TE Network splits during the fourth quarter. His “cash-in” total for those splits was $74,577.

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Quarter feature in Top Echelon Network:

The top 10 recruiters for the quarter
The “cash-in” total for each recruiter during the quarter. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the quarter.)
The number of splits that the recruiters made during the quarter
The date that each recruiter’s agency joined TE Network
The number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career
Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their TE Network career

Congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every TE Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the quarter!
