The Largest Split Fee of the Month: $75K

by Matthew Deutsch on February 10, 2025

It’s only February, but we already have a split recruiting fee that might end up being the Largest Split Fee of the Year for 2025!

The total of that fee: $75,000.

The TE Network recruiters involved in making the placement that earned that fee: Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Jeff Katz of JSK Recruiting.

Amy and Jeff placed a VP of Global Engineering at 25% to earn that $75,000 fee. Congratulations!

As a friendly reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its TE 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.

So congratulations to everybody on the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!

Recruiter of the Month

The TE Network Recruiters of the Month

by Matthew Deutsch on February 9, 2025

How is 1/12 of the year gone already?

While you ponder that predicament, we have the top members in TE Network for the month of January. Because if a month is over, we have the recruiters who have made the most money in TE Network during that month.

And as you can see below, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting started 2025 in much the same fashion as he ended last year. That’s because Brad was the Recruiter of the Year in TE Network in 2024, and he’s off to a stellar start in his quest to defend his title.

However, Brad title defense will not go unchallenged. There will be plenty of recruiters ready to claim the top spot in TE Network for 2025.

Will they succeed? Stay turned to find out!

Here is the information that we include with the Recruiter of the Month feature in TE Network:

The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
The cash-in total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of cash-in dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they’ve made.)
The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
The number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career.
Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their TE Network career.

With this format, it’s more likely that there will be ties among recruiters, especially with those TE Network members who have made split placements with each other.

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