We have yet more Top Echelon members making their first split placement in the Network!

Joining the fray this week are two recruiters. They are Paul Mattocks of LFP Associates and Carlton Spinks of Gateway Sourcing, LLC. As you can see below, both made a split with the reigning Top Echelon Network Recruiter of the Year, Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group.

Paul and Michael placed an Injection Molding Engineer to earn a fee of $18.525. Carlton and Michael, on the other hand, placed a Software Developer to generate a fee of $21,375.

Congratulations are also in order for Top Echelon Network veterans Doug Boyce of Priority One Search and Jim Strickland of BioSource Recruiters. Doug and Jim accounted for the largest split fee of the week, placing a Project Engineer to earn a fee of $28K at 20%.

Top Echelon offers a free monthly webinar as part of its Expert Recruiter Coaching Series.

These webinars touch upon a variety of recruiter-related topics. These topics deal with both job candidates and clients. As always, our goal with these webinars is to help professional recruiters and executive search consultants just like YOU make more placements.

We record these webinars for recruiters who can’t attend the live presentation, and we’re now pleased to offer the video from our most recent webinar by Greg Doersching, President of Next Level Coaching.

The title of that webinar (and corresponding training video) is “Building an Offshore Team: the Fastest Way to Growth and Profit.”

Below is the official description for this training video:

— — —

With unemployment rates at a 54-year low, it’s not only affecting how we find candidates for our clients, but also how we expand our internal recruitment teams. The shift in the market over the last three years has significantly impacted a search firm’s ability to grow.

There are now higher rates of rejected job offers, counteroffers, and candidate “ghosting,” and most of us simply do not have the time to make up for these new disruptions. Furthermore, many business owners are unable to hire and expand their teams due to the high salary demands and expectations of job seekers in the U.S.

Join recruiting expert Greg Doersching for the next webinar video in Top Echelon’s Recruiter Coaching Series, as he lays out the specifics of growing your team through the effective use of the offshore solution.

During this webinar video, Greg will discuss the following:

  • The structure of your firm using the offshore team
  • The roles that are best suited for offshore people
  • How to find offshore talent
  • How to compensate an offshore team
  • Initial training programs for offshore people
  • Career progression for an offshore team
  • Using them effectively in the day-to-day recruiting process
  • The long-term effects of an offshore presence

Regardless of the industry and niche in which you work, this presentation will have value for you, so watch this video and learn all about “Building an Offshore Team: the Fastest Way to Growth and Profit”!
