They say that a summer breeze will make you feel fine . . . but you know what will make you feel even finer?

Summer placement fees!

And we have them in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog! In fact, we have the Largest Split Fee of the Month for June, which tipped the scales at $54,000.

Congratulations are in order for Nick Stoia of ASAP Search and Steve Schanz of CPS Recruitment. Nick and Steve placed a Manufacturing Engineering Manager at 30% to generate that fee.

However, as you can see below, that was one of just five hefty fees in the Network during the month of June.

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 the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!

In June of 2022, Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group averaged one split per day in Top Echelon Network during the month of June.

Although his production wasn’t as prodigious last month, it was enough for him to win another Recruiter of the Month Award!

One of the unique aspects of June’s standings is that the second-place recruiters, Jim Strickland and Maria Hemminger, made all four of their splits during the month with each other.

What’s also worth mentioning is that Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group has now made 1,300 Network placements during his tenure as a Top Echelon member. Congratulations, Trey!

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

  1. The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
  2. 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.)
  3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
  4. The number of splits each recruiter has made during their Network career.
  5. Each recruiter’s “cash-in” total for their Network career.

With this format, there are more than likely going to 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!

Summer is supposed to be a slow time in the recruiting and staffing industry, but interest in Top Echelon Network membership has remained high.

That’s because, as you can see below, 17 recruiting agencies joined the Network during the month of June!

As is the case every month, our new Network firms work in a variety of industries and niches, and they’re all ready to make split placements and generate more revenue! These industries include Manufacturing, Accounting, Engineering, Healthcare, and Information Technology, among many others.

With that in mind, I encourage you to look over the list of new member firms below. And of course, reach out to any one of them (or more) if you believe that you can make splits together.

We run the names of recruiting agencies applying for membership in the Network Dashboard section of the Top Echelon software. We list the names of new Network members, 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 once again congratulate the agencies listed below and welcome them to the Network. I look forward to helping them make split placements!

(Note: 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.)

Regardless, we’re in the month of July, which means that we have July anniversaries in Top Echelon Network. In fact, we have three recruiting agencies that are celebrating 30-year anniversaries in the Network!
