At Top Echelon, we strive to communicate more information to Network members about the many upgrades and improvements being made to the Network software.

There are two simple reasons for this:

1. We are continually working on the software. However, if we don’t communicate what we’re doing, then Network members like yourself may think that we’re not doing anything. That is certainly not the case. Although we share information at recruiter networking events like the upcoming National Convention (Top Echelon Connect 2020), not every member attends those events.
2. If you’re fully aware of the upgrades and improvements that we’re making to the Network software, then you can better plan how you’ll utilize your split network membership. Planning is one half of success. Execution is the other.

With this is mind, we’re excited to announce that we have a new software release scheduled for Thursday, February 13, that brings Network Jobs into the new version of the software. This means you’ll no longer need to navigate to the legacy version to view and work your split partners’ positions!

Click HERE to access an article in the Top Echelon Help Center that offers more information (including a video) about the new Network Jobs functionality.

To prepare everybody for the release of this new feature, we’re conducting a special training event on Thursday, February 13, at 1 p.m., EST.

During this webinar session, Top Echelon Training Specialist J.D. Fye will address:

• Searching, reviewing, and working other Network members’ jobs
• Setting up and reviewing Network Job Alerts
• The start of the new Network Dashboard
• And much more!

Curt Spallone of Compuray Medical Staffing, Inc. has spent two stints as a Top Echelon Network member. And so far, both of those stints have been successful.

After making 30 split placements during his first stint, Curt recently rejoined the Network and has “hit the ground running.” Specifically, he’s made three splits with trading partner Cindy Sommer of SearchStars, Inc. And one of them is the Largest Split Fee of the Month for January!

In fact, Cindy and Curt have the chance to win multiple awards. That’s because they recently placed three Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant positions with the corresponding placement fees:

• $39,000
• $40,000
• $36,250

So after rejoining the Network, Curt has made three splits totaling more than $100K in total fees. Sounds like success to us!

So congratulations to Curt and Cindy for making this placement and for earning the Largest Split Fee of the Month Award for January.

Cindy Sommer of SearchStars, Inc. and Curt Spallone of Compuray Medical Staffing, Inc.

The position for this split placement was a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant. Cindy was the job order recruiter and Curt was the candidate recruiter.

The action that stimulated this split placement was listed as “Offline communication with a member.”

The fee for this split placement was $39,000.

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.

Okay, you can beat Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group once for Recruiter of the Month.

You can even beat him twice.

But three times in a row? Not so much.

Yes, Top Echelon’s Recruiter of the Year in 2019 is the Recruiter of the Month for the first month of 2020. Not that it’s too surprising.

As we indicated last month, we fully expected Trey to bounce back, and he has. However, we’re also recognizing four other recruiters below for their performance and production in the Network during the month of January.

If YOU want to make more money through Top Echelon’s split fee recruiting network, contact Director of Network Operations, Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS.

You can reach Drea by calling 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its split recruiting awards based upon two criteria, which are listed below in order of importance:

1.) The number of split placements made
2.) The amount of “cash-in” dollars earned as a result of those split placements

This explains why, when multiple recruiters are tied with the same number of TE placements during a given month or quarter, the recruiter with the largest “cash-in” total is ultimately deemed the winner.

I’m pleased to announce that we started the New Year with a BANG in terms of Top Echelon Network membership. That’s because a total of 16 agencies joined our recruiting network during the month of January!

In 2019, we averaged right around 15 new Network member agencies every single month. And it appears as though we’re off to a good start in terms of new members this year. This is exciting news, and it certainly bodes well for the rest of 2020.

As you can see, our 16 new Network agencies are listed below. As always, please welcome these agencies—and the recruiters who are part of these agencies—to Top Echelon. At the very least, send them an email.

If they work in your areas of specialization, give them a call. You never know. You could make split placements with them!

We run the names of recruiting agencies applying for membership in the Members’ Area of the Top Echelon website. We list the names of new Network agencies, as well.

However, we also list our new members in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. This list typically includes the name of the agency, the join date of the agency, the geographic location of the agency, and the agency’s specialties. These agencies work in a variety of industries and niches.

So I’d like to take this moment to congratulate the agencies listed below. I also welcome them to the membership and look forward to helping them make splits in the Network!

If you have any questions about reaching out to new members or about your split recruiting membership in general, please contact me. My contact information is listed at the end of this blog post.
