Network Recruiter Scores ‘Hat Trick’ in TE Splits

by Matthew Deutsch on February 13, 2023

A Top Echelon Network recruiter scored a “hat trick”? What does that mean?

Well, if you’re a hockey fan, then you know that a “hat trick” is scoring three goals in one game. Within the context of Network Preferred Membership, a “hat trick” is finalizing three placements in the same week.

And that’s exactly what Peggy Baggott of RCC Group, LLC did last week! Peggy made three splits, two of them with Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group. Peggy has ramped up her Network activity as of late, making six TE split placements during the past 12 months.

However, there are even more reasons to celebrate this week. That’s because Rob Piotrowski of Ironman Staffing Medical Services, Inc. and Pamela Bellish of Bellish & Associates, LLC both made their first Network split recently . . . and they made it with each other!

And last, but certainly not least, James Sullivan of Ethical Search Professionals, Ltd. and Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group placed a Quality Manager at 25% to generate a fee of $37,500. That was by far the largest split placement fee of the week!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our weekly placements:

Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
Job title
Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)

Largest Split Fee of the Month

The Largest Split Fees in Top Echelon in January

by Matthew Deutsch on February 12, 2023

This should actually come as no surprise . . .

Last week, we chronicled how Maggie Wolgamot of Ridgeback Management Services, LLC made her first split placement ever in Top Echelon Network with Mark Rowbottom of Rowbottom Partners.

That split was especially mentionable because it brought with it a recruiting fee of $83,625. The part that should come as no surprise is the fact that the placement is the Largest Split Fee of the Month in Top Echelon for the month of January!

However, there were plenty of other sizeable fees during the month, as you can see below. In fact, all five of the fees listed below are $40K or higher.

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.

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

Recruiter of the Month

Michael ‘Stuck’ at the Top of the Rankings for January

by Matthew Deutsch on February 11, 2023

Nearly 50 years ago, in April of 1973, a Scottish folk band released a song titled “Stuck in the Middle with You.” In case you haven’t heard the song, it’s quite good and you can listen to it HERE.

Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group has been the number-one recruiter in Top Echelon Network for the past two years. Is there any coincidence here? Absolutely none, especially since Michael is not “Stuck” in the middle.

Quite the contrary; he’s “Stuck” at the top of the Network recruiter rankings for the month of January. For proof of this statement, reference the information below, which contains the top 10 TE recruiters in January!

(And of course, that song will now be in your head all day. You’re welcome.)

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

The top 10 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 made.)
The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
The number of splits each recruiter has made during their Network career.
Each recruiter’s “cash-in” total for their Network career.

With this format, there are more than likely going to be ties among recruiters, especially with those Preferred Members who have made split placements with each other.

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