If you’re a customer of the Big Biller recruiting software, we’d like to remind you that the Loyalty Discount applied to your Big Biller account will expire as of March 1, 2020. This discount was enacted on March 1, 2019 to reward existing users of the software while we increased the cost of Big Biller for all new customers.

Earlier this month, we sent an email informing your agency of this change to the pricing structure. There are two types of pricing plans for the Big Biller software.

Monthly pricing plan

If your agency is on the monthly pricing plan, then starting on March 1, your account will be charged $66.50 per user per month for Big Biller. This represents the standard retail price of $70 per user per month, plus a 5% discount per user for being a member of Top Echelon’s recruiting network.

Annual pricing plan

If your agency is are on the annual pricing plan, then when your current annual subscription ends, the Loyalty Discount applied to your Big Biller account will expire.

The new annual pricing plan for Big Biller is $59.50 per user per month, a 15% savings from the retail monthly price. If you would like to select the annual pricing plan for your future Big Biller needs, you can do so by accessing the Billing Overview section of the software. (Click on the one-year subscription option to select the annual pricing plan.)

Please note the following additional changes to the Big Biller pricing structure:

• The cost of the Job Board Career Portal for your agency’s website that was an additional $40 per month will now be included in the retail price of Big Biller. (Click HERE for more information about how to manage your agency’s Job Board.)
• The amount of disk space included with your Big Biller subscription has increased from 25 gigabytes (25 GB) to 100 gigabytes (100 GB).

We look forward to serving you as we release many new features and additional functionality in the software over the next several months and continue to make Big Biller the very best ATS and CRM that it can possibly be.

As always, we’d like to thank you for your commitment as a Big Biller customer.

Everything in life comes down to value, does it not? Well, everything in business and the employment marketplace, anyway. (Let’s not launch into a philosophical discussion. At least not yet.)

As a Member of Top Echelon’s recruiting network, you want value.

That makes total sense. You’re investing in the Network, and you would like to receive a certain return on your investment.

What we have in this Pinnacle Newsletter Blog post is proof of the value of a split placement network. Specifically, we have proof of the value of Top Echelon’s split network.

Helping to provide this proof are three recent situations that illustrate said value. They all involve different recruiters, different industries, and the different ways that the recruiters made split placements.

Because what’s better than one form of value? Multiple forms of value!

In other words, it’s better to make placements in a number of different ways instead of just one way. That’s exactly the type of value that Top Echelon Network offers to its members. Network members can make splits in a number of different ways.

And as you can see by the comments below, they can also have fun doing it! Because building relationships (and sometimes friendships) is yet another form of value that Top Echelon Network provides.

Surviving and thriving as an agency recruiter for 20 years or more is quite an impressive feat. So we’re pleased to know that we at Top Echelon Network have been part of quite a few recruiters’ careers down through the years.

Two of those recruiting agencies are celebrating big anniversaries this month in our split network. As you can see below, those agencies include:

• Pan-American Search, Inc. (25 years)
• Computer Recruiters, Inc. (20 years)

Longevity within any profession is admirable, but even more so within the recruiting and staffing profession. The reason is simple. Recruiting is tough! If it was easy, then everybody would be doing it. Clearly, not everybody is doing it, and even fewer are doing it well.

As always, we appreciate the loyalty and dedication of every Network agency celebrating an anniversary this month.

So congratulations to all of the agencies celebrating anniversaries in our split fee recruiting network during the month of February!
