The great thing about Trading Partner relationships in Top Echelon Network is that once you reach a certain point, the placements just start to flow.

Take, for example, two of the recruiters highlighted in this week’s placements—Patrick Staudacher and Sean Napoles.

Staudacher and Napoles have made seven split placements during the past two years, and two of those occurred recently.  This is just more evidence of the fact that once you make one split placement with another Preferred Member recruiter, many more can follow.

Below is the list of positions that were filled this past week by Network recruiters:

• SAP Analyst SD
  
• SAP Manager
  
• Director of Purchasing
  
• Chief Executive Officer
  
• Vice President – Assistant Controller
• Product Engineering Manager
  
• Software Developer
  
• Process Engineer
  

Are you looking to fill positions just like these?  Do you work with candidates who have these titles?  Then YOU can make placements in Top Echelon Network.

If you have questions about how you can make placements in Top Echelon Network, contact Membership Development Coordinator Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS at (330) 455-1433, Ext. 156.

At Top Echelon , we’re big fans of continuous training and development.  That’s one of the reasons we offer a free recruiter training webinar every month.

However, we also like to promote industry events in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, and that includes the 2013 Indiana Search and Staffing Association (ISSA) Conference, which is scheduled for Thursday, May 16, at The Pyramids in Indianapolis, Ind.

The keynote speaker for the event is Bob Marshall of TBMG International.  Marshall is presenting two sessions during the conference.

The first session, to be held in the morning, is called “Your Desk as a Manufacturing Plant.”  The second session, slated for the afternoon, is titled “Establishing Elegant Rapport Through Elegant Communication.”

(Marshall is also one of three speakers at the 2013 Top Echelon Network National Convention in April.  However, his session at the National Convention is different than the ones he’s presenting at the ISSA Conference.)

The full-day ISSA program is designed for all recruiters, staffing professionals, human resource professionals and sales professionals.  The main conference includes continental breakfast and lunch provided by Monster.

The cost of attending the ISSA Conference is $99 for members and $129 for non-members.  For registration information, contact Jennifer Fahlsing at (800) 658-0824 or via email at jfahlsing@aldisassociates.com.

You can also register online at the ISSA website, located at www.issaweb.org.

Below is a sneak peek of “Your Desk as a Manufacturing Plant.”

We have an epidemic on our hands . . . an epidemic of recruiters making split placements because they met at the 2012 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference!

We’ve been chronicling these placements during the last several weeks, first to give the recruiters involved some publicity and second to underscore the value associated with attending events like the Fall Conference . . .

And the upcoming 2013 National Convention.

Is St. Petersburg Beach a nice place to hold a convention?  Of course.  Will you gain knowledge by listening to our great lineup of speakers (Danny Cahill, Amy Bingham, and Bob Marshall)?  Of course.

But what’s the main reason to attend this convention, the reason that promises the most value and holds the most potential?

The opportunity to meet recruiters you’ve never met before (specifically within your industry and/or niche), to form Trading Partner relationships with those recruiters, and then to make money with those recruiters!

Sound too good to be true?  It’s not.  The evidence of this “split placement epidemic” is mounting, and there’s more of it below.

“I met Kristy at the Chicago conference and could tell immediately that she is a real pro.  We have a very similiar ‘style,’ and it’s great working together.  I anticipate more placements for she and I in the future!”

Submitted by Deb North of Deb North Consulting, LLC regarding her split placement with Kristy Bellingham Jones of Jones-Ingham Exec and Sales Recruiting

Position Title—SUPPORT ANALYST

The 2013 Top Echelon Network National Convention is scheduled for Thursday, April 25, through Saturday, April 27, at the TradeWinds Resort Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Click here to see who is already registered for the convention.  One (or more) of these recruiters could be your next Trading Partner.  Three or four months from now, you could be making a split placement—or maybe even two, like Joe Noto and Anjela Mangrum.

What are you waiting for?  Go to Florida, find Trading Partners, and make money!

Register for the 2013 National Convention!

Many of you probably know what a “runner’s high” is.  According to Dictionary.com, it’s “a state of euphoria experienced during prolonged running or other forms of aerobic, sustained exercise, attributed to an increase of endorphins in the blood.”

But really, who wants to go running?  Why not just make split fee recruiting network placements instead?

After all, you have to figure that at least the same amount of endorphins are released into your bloodstream when you make a placement as when you run five miles.  Not only that, but when you make a placement, you don’t feel like you’re going to throw up and/or pass out.

As you can see below, the recruiters in this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments” aren’t enjoying a “runner’s high” . . . they’re enjoying a “placement high”!

They’ve made spit placements with other Preferred Member recruiters in situations where they might not have made a placement at all, and the endorphins are coursing through their bloodstream as we speak.  Not only that, but the only place they have to run to is the bank—to deposit their placement check before it closes.

Then they can come back home and eat chocolates on the sofa while watching re-runs of Three’s Company.  Not that I do that or anything . . . I’m just sayin’.

Remember, if you’d like to compliment one of your recruiting network Trading Partners for a recent split placement, send your comments to marketing@topechelon.com, and they’ll appear in a future issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.
