One of the greatest dynamics and assets of Top Echelon Network membership is . . . YOU.

That’s why I want YOU to join ME (Drea) on Wednesday, April 15, for Top Echelon’s first virtual Business Development Discussion for Today’s Climate.

The objective of these meetings, which are based upon different niches, are to allow you to share what you are experiencing with your clients and candidates during these current events. Each attendee will be encouraged to briefly share with the group the following:

• What you have heard from your clients and candidates
• One thing you have been doing in your business the past few weeks
• One thing you are doing to prepare for when your clients are ready to move

As I mentioned above, there will be different niche-related meetings. See the list below for your niche’s time on April 15 (all times are Eastern Daylight Time):

• 10:00 a.m. — Healthcare
• 11:30 a.m. — Manufacturing/Engineering
• 1:00 p.m. — Information Technology
• 2:30 p.m. — Accounting/Finance
• 3:30 p.m. — Food And Beverage

Below is the information you’ll need to join your Business Development Discussion:

• Dial into the Teleconference: 267-507-0013 (access code: 694-896-080)
• Join the GoToMeeting: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/694896080

Let’s share ideas with one another to demonstrate the strength of Top Echelon Network Membership and how we can all help each other. We will start with these industries and related niches, and if there is enough interest in other industries, we will schedule them.

If you have any questions about these Virtual Business Development Discussions, please contact me. You can do so by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

We’re pleased to present the largest split fee in Top Echelon Network for the month of March . . . and it was a whopper!

That fee, split between Jan Hudson of Surf Search and Austin Morioka, CPC of e-Health Jobs, totaled $87,500.

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 Jan and Austin for making this placement and for earning the Largest Split Fee of the Month Award for March.

Throughout the year, we at Top Echelon Software let our customers know when we’ll be in the office and when we won’t. (Of course, there are many workers across the country who, while working, aren’t physically in the office.)

One of the reasons that we aren’t in the office throughout the year are holidays, and we have another one coming up. AND one of the ways in which we let our customers know when we won’t be in the office (physically or otherwise) because of a holiday is through The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.)

With all that being said, the Top Echelon Software offices will be closed on Friday, April 10, in observance of Good Friday and the Easter holiday. These hours apply to:

• Top Echelon’s recruiter network
• The Big Biller applicant tracking software

Our offices will re-open for business as usual at 8 a.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Monday, April 13.

In light of current world events, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that you and your family are staying healthy and safe during these uncertain times. If you have any questions or if there’s any way that we can help you or your agency, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Please enjoy the holiday as much as possible with your family, and we look forward to serving your needs in the future.

We’re pleased to present the top recruiters in Top Echelon Network for the month of March! These recruiters are listed below, from first place to fifth place.

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.

So congratulations to the recruiters listed below and congratulations to every Network member who made splits during the month of March!

We have more big network celebrations in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog this month. However, there is none bigger than the one being celebrated by KB Search Team, LLC.

That’s because KB Search Team is celebrating their 30th anniversary in Top Echelon’s recruiting network!

KB Search Team joined the Network on April 18, 1990. Since that time, the agency has made 274 placements in Top Echelon.

In addition, two of the agency’s members have made 100 TE placements apiece. Those recruiters are Pat McCombs, CPC (116) and Brenda Wylie Biggs, CPC (104).

Instead, we now recognize any and ALL Network agencies celebrating an anniversary during a given month. When recognizing Network agencies for anniversaries, Top Echelon includes the name of the agency, the location of the agency, and the date that it joined the Network.

As you can see below, counting KB Search Team, there is a total of 36 agencies celebrating a TE anniversary. So congratulations to all of the agencies celebrating anniversaries in our split fee recruiting network during the month of April!
