Back in April, we had a $77K fee and a $75K placement in Top Echelon Network during the same month. And although we did not have a fee that came close to those lofty numbers in May, we certainly had one in June.

That’s because the Largest Split Fee of the Month in June was $68,750!

As you can see below, Network members Jennifer Hull of Jenn Resources and Debbie Winkelbauer of Surf Search split that fee. And also as you can see below, the other fees that round out our top five for the month aren’t “chump change,” either. That includes the $56,250 fee shared by Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group.

So however much activity has been slowing down over the summer, what hasn’t lessened are the number of split placements made in Top Echelon Network and the fees associated with those placements!

As a 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 list below for making some BIG placement fees during the month of June!

Recruiters in Top Echelon Network ended the month of June—and the second quarter and the first half of the year—with a “bang,” recording a total of 13 split placements for the week.

Not a literal bang, as you might have witnessed during today’s Independence Day holiday (Happy Fourth of July!), but a figurative one. The former ends in a fireworks display, while the latter results in an explosion of placement fees.

And once again, we have another sizeable placement fee to highlight. Specifically, Chris Ramsay of Corporate Resources, LLC and Deb North of True North Consulting, LLC placed a Technical Development Manager to the tune of $38,750.

As you can see, that is one of 13 splits listed below, with a number of members part of more than one deal.

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 below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the week of Monday, June 28, through Sunday, July 4.

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 placements they made in Top Echelon Network!

If you’re a newer member and you want to enjoy more success in our recruiting network, then I encourage you to contact Top Echelon Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS.

You can do so by calling 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

Remember last month, when we announced that Top Echelon Network member Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group made 20 split placements in May to win Recruiter of the Month honors?

Well, Michael won those honors again for June . . . and this time, he made 23 splits in the process!

Michael heads the list below of the top recruiters in Top Echelon Network for the month of June. Not all of them made 20 splits, of course, but they all made enough to receive a tremendous return on their agency’s monthly Network membership fee of $130.

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

  1. The top 10 recruiters for the month, instead of just the top five
  2. We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the month.
  3. The date that their agency joined Top Echelon Network.
  4. The recruiter’s cash-in total for their Network career

With this format, there are more likely to be ties among recruiters, especially with those members who have made split placements with each other.

Now that we’ve set the ground rules, congratulations to Michael Stuck and the recruiters listed below and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the month of June!

Another month has arrived, which means that we’re welcoming another group of new Network members to the Top Echelon family!

Once again, we hit double digits last month, as eleven (11) recruiting agencies joined the ranks of Top Echelon Network membership during the month of June.

I invite and encourage you to review the agencies listed below and do not hesitate to reach out to one (or more) of them if you believe you could work together to make placements. After all, networking and communication is what Top Echelon is all about!

As you might already know, we run the names of recruiting agencies applying for membership in the Network Dashboard of the Top Echelon software. We list the names of new Network agencies, as well.

However, we also list our new members in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. This list typically includes the:

  • Name of the agency
  • Industries and/or specialties in which the agency operates
  • Names of the recruiters working at the agency
  • Geographic location of the agency

So I’d like to take this moment to congratulate the agencies listed below. I also welcome them to the membership and look forward to helping them make splits in the Network!

If you have any questions about reaching out to new members or about your split recruiting membership in general, please contact me. My contact information is listed at the end of this blog post.

Not only do we have more Network anniversaries this month in Top Echelon, but we also have more BIG anniversaries!

At the top of the list are two agencies that have been with Top Echelon Network for 29 years.

Those agencies are Corporate Recruiters, LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio and Southeast Recruiters/Bio-Partners Search Group in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

In all, there are 24 Network agencies celebrating an anniversary in Top Echelon during the month of July. As we’ve stated previously, Top Echelon now recognizes any and ALL Network agencies celebrating an anniversary during a given month.

When recognizing Network agencies for their anniversaries, Top Echelon includes the name of the agency; the length of the anniversary; and the location of the agency, including the city and state.

So congratulations to all of the agencies celebrating anniversaries in our split fee recruiting network during the month of July!
