Announcements

We’re Inducting Our First-Ever Hall of Fame Class!

by Matthew Deutsch on June 10, 2024

We at Top Echelon are thrilled to announce the induction of our first-ever Hall of Fame class, recognizing the most outstanding recruiters who are or have been members of Top Echelon’s recruiting network!

Top Echelon’s headquarters are located in Canton, Ohio. Canton, for those of you who may not know, is called the “Hall of Fame City.” One of the reasons it’s called this—and yes, the primary reason—is because the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton.

The unveiling of our inaugural Hall of Fame class will begin on social media on June 20, coinciding with the first official day of summer, and will continue throughout the season as part of our “Epic 95 Days of Summer” campaign.

The final announcements will be made on September 22, the last official day of summer, and just one day before the highly anticipated Top Echelon Connect Fall 2024 event in Canton, Ohio.

Celebrating Excellence in Recruiting

Top Echelon has always been dedicated to recognizing excellence within our Network. The Hall of Fame is our newest initiative to honor those recruiters who have demonstrated exceptional performance, dedication, and commitment to both the profession and to the Network.

These inductees have not only excelled in terms of placements and billings, but have also contributed significantly to the growth and success of Top Echelon Network.

Criteria for Induction

There are two criteria that weigh heavily into being considered for the Top Echelon Hall of Fame:

Recruiters who have made at least 100 placements through Top Echelon Network.
Recruiters who have billed at least $1 million through Top Echelon Network.

Recruiters can meet one or the other of these criteria and qualify for induction. For example, you could make 100 placements but not bill $1 million and vice-versa.

Can you still earn induction into the Hall of Fame without meeting one of these criteria? Yes, but that is up to the discretion of the voters and is subject to a number of extenuating circumstances. (Which, of course, we shall explain at a later date.)

‘Epic 95 Days of Summer’

Our “Epic 95 Days of Summer” campaign is designed, in part, to highlight the achievements of our Hall of Fame inductees, celebrate their contributions, and inspire our Network members. It’s also designed to highlight other major announcements related to our ATS.

With that in mind, starting on June 20, we will be announcing new inductees weekly, sharing their stories, accomplishments, and the impact they’ve made on the recruiting industry. Each inductee will be featured in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog and across our social media channels, ensuring they receive the recognition they deserve.

Key Dates to Remember

Okay, to recap (as much for me as it is for you), listed below are the important dates to remember regarding our “Epic 95 Days of Summer” AND our first-ever Hall of Fame inductions.

June 20: First day of summer and the beginning of the Hall of Fame announcements

June 20 through September 22: Continuation of the Hall of Fame announcements, plus other announcements regarding Top Echelon and the Top Echelon ATS

September 22: Last day of summer and the final announcement regarding the inaugural Top Echelon Hall of Fame class

September 23: Top Echelon Connect Fall 2024 event in Canton, Ohio

The culmination of our Hall of Fame announcements will lead us into the Top Echelon Connect Fall 2024 event, where we will gather to celebrate, network, and learn from some of the best minds within the Network and in the recruiting profession.

This event will also provide an opportunity to honor our inductees in person and share in their success stories. In fact, you can register for the event right now . . .

Register for Connect Fall 2024!

So be sure to follow Top Echelon on our social media channels for updates about our 2024 Hall of Fame inductees and also read The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog each week!

Largest Split Fee of the Month

Presenting the Largest TE Split Fees in May

by Matthew Deutsch on June 9, 2024

You know what they say: “April showers bring May flowers . . . and May placement fees.”

What? Not that last part? I beg to differ, because we have plenty of May placement fees, including the top five in the Network for the month of May!

At the head of the class are Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Domenic Maiani of Lazio Search Group, Inc. Maria and Domenic took top honors by earning a $41,250 fee as a result of placing a Plant Manager – Automotive at 27.5%.

As an added bonus (all bonuses are added, though, because that’s what makes them a bonus), this represented Domenic’s very first placement in Top Echelon Network!

However, that was far from the only big fee in the Network during the month of May. Behold, and feast your eyes upon the rest of the placement buffet below . . .

As a friendly reminder, 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 everybody on the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!

Recruiter of the Month

The Top Recruiters of the Month in Top Echelon

by Matthew Deutsch on June 8, 2024

There’s a lot to highlight with the Recruiter of the Month feature in this week’s issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog!

Let’s start with the fact that the Recruiter of the Month for May, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting, is now the Top Producer in the Network during the past 12 months rolling.

In addition, the second-place recruiter in May, Veronica Snyder of Career Professionals, was part of two of the top five largest split placement fees in Top Echelon’s recruiting network during the month.

Brad has made well over 100 Network placements and $1 million cash-in, and Veronica has made 100 TE placements even and is approaching the $1 million mark.

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Month feature in Top Echelon Network:

The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
The cash-in total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of cash-in dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made.)
The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
The number of splits each recruiter has made during their Network career.
Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their Network career.

With this format, it’s more likely there will be ties among recruiters, especially with those Network members who have made split placements with each other.

Congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the month!
