Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group is making a race of it. However, Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group is still firmly in the lead in terms of the #1 Top Producer in the Network.

That’s because, although Trey made three split placements this past week, Michael finalized six TE splits. “But it’s only August,” you might be saying to yourself. “There’s plenty of time for Trey to catch up.”

True, but Michael also shows no signs of slowing down. So let’s hope for a dramatic and frenzied scramble to the finish, with excitement and split placements aplenty!

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 listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the week of Monday, July 25, through Sunday, July 31.

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 split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!

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

You can do so by calling 330.595.17423 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

Do YOU need a reason to attend Top Echelon’s Fall Conference in Chicago?

How about almost 95,000 of them?

That’s one for each of the dollars in recruiting fees that Network members Jeff Manga of 6 Degrees Search; Cindy Chen of Focus Employment; Tom Daly of Ridgeback Management; Stacy Holland of Exceptional People, Inc.; David M. Sgro of True North Consultants, Inc.; and Michael Stuck Gables Search Group earned from placements they made as a direct result of attending Top Echelon Connect 2022 in Las Vegas earlier this year!

Here’s what Dave Sgro had to say about the placement AND about attending Top Echelon events (and of course, Dave did not mince words):

— — —

“This placement is a direct result of attending the Top Echelon Connect 2022 conference in Las Vegas. Not in any way was it indirectly a result, technologically a result, or any other result other than attending the conference. Mike and I talked quite a bit during the conference, both during session breaks and after hours over drinks and dinners, and game planned partnering up . . . We have plenty of more work to do and jobs to fill. THANK YOU, MIKE! See you at the next one!

Submitted by David M. Sgro of True North Consultants, Inc. regarding his Network split placement with Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group

Position Title—SENIOR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR

Fee Percentage—25%

(Editor’s note: This is the first Network split placement that David and Michael have made together in Top Echelon.)

— — —

Here’s the crazy part. David and Michael are long-time Network members. Each has billed more than $1 million through Top Echelon during their time in the Network. Both have made well over 100 split placements.

And this is the first split that they’ve made with each other!

And the reason it happened is because they attended Top Echelon’s networking event in Las Vegas earlier this year. And now they’ve greatly increased the chances that they’ll make multiple splits together.

Early Bird Registration for the Fall Conference is now open! The price is $485 per person, and that price will be available until Friday, September 23, when the Regular Registration period begins. As a reminder, below is logistical information regarding the event:

Dates: October 6-7, 2022 (Thursday – Friday)
Location: Sheraton O’Hare Suites in Rosemont, Illinois

Thursday and Friday will be loaded with networking and training sessions designed to sharpen your recruiting, sourcing, and partnership acumen.

We hope to see you in Chicago so that we can help you make more placements!

We’re continuously updating both the Top Echelon recruiting software and our split placement network software. So we’re pleased to announce the following software updates!

1. Hosted Careers Page

The new hosted Careers Page option provides you with the ability to display your public jobs in either a standard list or table format and choose or customize a color theme to match your logo and brand. In addition to applying for Jobs or submitting a resume, the Careers Page will offer candidates the option to search, filter, and set job alerts.

• To try out the Careers Page for yourself, please contact our Support team (support@topechelon.com). If you like what you see, we can fully enable it as a replacement for the existing Job Board.

2. Relate a Job to Email Templates

Job records can now be related to Email Templates, saving time by reducing the need to repeatedly relate a position each time an email is sent regarding it. A corresponding column has been added to the Manage Templates list, as well.

3. Direct Added as a Phone Type Option

Direct has been added as an option in the Phone Type drop-down field on People and Company Datasheets to better designate those numbers that route directly to a corresponding Person or Company.

4. [BETA TESTING] Checkr

Our integration with Checkr will help you fill roles more quickly and drive more revenue. Their quick, thorough background checks make the screening and hiring process more efficient.

• In the coming weeks, we will be looking for beta testing participants, who may receive free background checks during the beta period. If you are interested in beta testing our Checkr integration, please email us at beta@topechelon.com.

5. [BETA TESTING] Calendar Invites

This is the ability to send calendar invites to meeting attendees directly from the corresponding Scheduled Activity in the Top Echelon software.

• If your agency is interested in beta testing this new feature, email us at beta@topechelon.com.

Remember, you can always stay informed by visiting the official Top Echelon Product Updates page. You can see current and past updates, as well as which updates and upgrades are next.
