We have a little bit of everything in this week’s installments of Top Echelon Network split placements!

Let’s start with the fact that two of the placements this week have 30% fees associated with them. Fee percentages that high have become rarer in recent years, so seeing two in one week is worth mentioning.

Not only that, but we also have some big placement checks in this week’s issue. In fact, here are just some of the fee totals:

• $36,000
• $34,500
• $34,225

And last but not least, we have two recruiters who recently made their first split as a member of the Network. Those recruiters are David Butler of Butler Recruitment Group and Tyler Rudy of Sola Staffing, LLC.

Congratulations to David and Tyler for making their first Top Echelon Network split placement!

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)
• Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from May 22 through May 28, 2023.  

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!

I’m pleased to announce the Virtual Core Group (VCG) meeting schedule for the month of June!

For those of you who don’t know, Top Echelon Network recruiters share the following information during Virtual Core Group teleconference call meetings:

• Hot job orders and candidates
• Information about the activity they’re seeing in the marketplace and/or in their niche
• Ideas for increased production on their desks and within their agencies

These are the activities that lead most directly to making more split placements in Top Echelon Network.

So that is why I’m inviting—or in other words, strongly encouraging—you to attend one of this month’s Virtual Core Group meetings. Below is the complete VCG schedule for June, including the industries involved and the time that each meeting will be held. (Note: all times are Eastern.)

Wednesday, June 14:

• 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. — Manufacturing/Engineering
• 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. — Information Technology
• 3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. — Biotechnology/Pharmacology

Thursday, June 15:

• 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. — Architectural/Engineering/Construction
• 3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. — Accounting & Finance

You can join the meeting to which you belong by accessing the information listed below.

Google Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/qba-qdic-kou

Below is the agenda for each Virtual Core Group meeting:

1. Welcome
2. Roll call of the members
3. I will share the newest software updates for both Top Echelon Network and the Top Echelon recruiting software.
4. Members will share their hot jobs with corresponding group discussion.
5. I will direct a software and Network protocol Q&A session to close the call.

It is my goal that this agenda will help you take away more from the meeting than just hot jobs and/or candidates. Hopefully, it will help make you more knowledgeable in terms of the Top Echelon community.

If you’d like to join one of the groups listed above or if you’d like to start a new group, please contact Top Echelon Network Success Specialist River Kale at rkale@topechelon.com.

This week in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, I’ll be addressing the next factor for achieving success within Top Echelon’s recruiter network as an exporter. That factor is creating Job Alerts properly.

With that being said, the first question you should ask yourself in regards to this topic is, “Do I check the Job Alerts?” If you don’t, then they won’t be of much use to you.

The second question you should ask is, “Have I set up my Job Alerts properly, to bring me the desired results?”

The rule of thumb is simplicity. With that in mind, below are some recommended fields to use:

• Search name (required)
• A FEW keywords or a simple Boolean string
• Major discipline codes

The power in Top Echelon Job Alerts

However, it doesn’t stop there. Neither do the questions, either, because below are yet more questions you should ask yourself:

1. What are my specialties?

2. What are my strengths?

3. What types of candidates do I have in my database?

Alerts can be a powerful tool for members of Top Echelon Network.

For some recruiters, they’re very powerful. These recruiters use them extensively and make split placements every single year because of them.

If you’re not maximizing the power of Job Alerts on your own recruiting desk, then follow the tips listed above. Not only that, but the Top Echelon Help Center is also filled with articles about this topic.

In fact, here is a comprehensive Help Center article about setting up Network Job Alerts.

You can also contact me by calling 330.595.1742 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com. We’ll discuss how creating Job Alerts properly can bring more value to your Top Echelon split network membership.

Happy hunting!
