We have a new “Recruiter of the Month”!

That new recruiter is Juli Smith of The Smith Consulting Group, LLC.  Juli has been extremely productive in the Network since becoming a Preferred Member recruiter in 2006.  Since that time, she’s made 32 split placements.

In addition, Smith is a big proponent of Top Echelon Network conferences and conventions, and many of her splits have been the result of her attendance at these events.  We’d like to congratulate Julie, as well as the other recruiters mentioned in this month’s awards announcement!

Our criteria for these awards:

Top Echelon Network is a split fee recruiting network. As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes a large part of our criteria for these awards. We determine the monthly and quarterly award winners based upon two things, 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

There aren’t many recruiters in the Network who have been enjoying as much success together recently as the ones highlighted in this week’s installment of “‘Comments and Compliments.'”

Those recruiters are Steve Kane of Bio-Partners Search Group, LLC and Stephanie McGinty of Ives & Associates, Inc.

Kane and Ives made yet another split placement together recently, their second of 2012.  Their first placement this year was an Associate Director of Market Research, while their most recent split was for an Associate Director of Global Market Research.

So far, Kane and Ives have made five split placements together in the Network.  The really good news: the average fee for those five splits is well over $30,000.  It might be accurate to say that these two recruiters are “on fire” . . . though not literally.

That’s not all we have this week, either!  That’s because David Kersey of Kersey & Associates, Inc. made his 101st placement as a Preferred Member recruiter in Top Echelon Network.  Congratulations to Dave, Steve, Stephanie, and everybody else who made placements this week

If you’d like to thank another recruiter for their efforts in a split placement situation, send your information to marketing@topechelon.com. Your comments might be included in an upcoming issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog!

The Top Echelon Network offices will be closed on Wednesday, July 4, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. The offices will re-open at 8 a.m. the following day, Thursday, July 5.

I’d like to take this moment to wish everybody a fun and safe holiday.  With temperatures expected to be in the 90s (and even the 100s) all during the week throughout the country, be sure to take the proper precautions while celebrating the holiday.

I’d also like to mention the tremendous sacrifices that have been made by those serving in the military.  Many of you have served this country in one capacity or another during your lives, and I want to thank you for both your service and your commitment.

So be safe, have fun, and stay cool.  We’ll be back in the office with you on Thursday!

Have a great holiday!
