Top Echelon Network member Jerry Walter of Walter & Associates, Inc. has enjoyed a long and successful career in the recruiting industry—and he’s not done yet!

Walter broke into recruiting in 1982, and he joined Top Echelon Network in June of 1991.  That means he’s celebrating his 24th anniversary as a Network member later this month (on Saturday, June 27, to be more specific).

Walter has been a top producer in TE during numerous years.  As a result, he’s made a total of 182 placements in Top Echelon.

However, as you can see below, he’s still making placements in the Network, and he’s making them with newer TE members.  Deb North of Deb North Consulting, LLC has been part of the Network for a little over three years, but she’s already made 20 placements in Top Echelon.

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in recruiting or how long you’ve been a TE member.  You can make placements with other recruiters in your industry and niche within the Network, and you can even make them with recruiters who are outside of your niche!

YOU can be like Deb North and YOU can be like Jerry Walter.  All you really need is a desire to make splits.  We’ll take care of the rest.

Actually, Top Echelon Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS will take care of the rest.  You can reach him by calling 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

The success of Virtual Core Groups within Top Echelon Network is a well-documented fact.

Many recruiters have made split placements in this Network due to their participation in this Core Groups.  These are placements they would NOT have made otherwise.  We’ve been conducting these meetings for over nine years now.

They’re a proven success, and if you want to make more placements and increase your billings, then you should join an existing group or start your own group.

There are currently six (6) Virtual Core Groups.  They include the following:

1. Manufacturing/Engineering
2. Accounting/Finance
3. Biotech/Pharma/Medical Device
4. Information Technology
5. Software Sales
6. Insurance

If your industry and niche is NOT represented above, then consider starting a new Virtual Core Group.  If your industry and niche IS represented above, then I assume that you already participate in Virtual Core Groups.  If you don’t . . . that will upset Uncle Drea.

During Virtual Core Group meetings, Network recruiters share important information, including hot job orders and hot candidates.  In addition, they discuss the activity they’re currently seeing in the marketplace and share advice, tips, and other pearls of wisdom.

The Virtual Core Group schedule is posted in the news section of the Members’ Area.  These meetings occur on the first, second, and third Thursday of each month.

Recruiters who attend Virtual Core Group meetings make more placements!  We want YOU to make more placements!  And we know that YOU want you to make more placements!  So attend an existing Virtual Core Group meeting, or start a brand-new one.

Because whatever you do, you don’t want to upset Uncle Drea.
