As part of our ongoing commitment to providing you with exceptional value and tailored solutions, we are excited to unveil an update to our service level offerings. We are introducing an additional level of service, the Professional Tier. You now have two service levels from which to choose:

1. Existing Tier (Legacy) – This level offers the same reliable and efficient product you’ve come to trust. Your current features, benefits, and price will remain unchanged, ensuring you can continue to work seamlessly.

2. Professional Tier ($89/month at the annual rate) – We’ve created this option for those who are ready to take their Top Echelon experience to the next level. By upgrading, you’ll unlock a range of advanced features that can truly transform the way you work:

• Pipeline Automations: Effortlessly streamline and automate time-consuming tasks, freeing up valuable time for strategic initiatives.
• Custom Questionnaires: Simplify candidate qualification with personalized questionnaires, making your decision-making process more informed and efficient.
• 10,000 Emails Per Month: Double your email capacity from 5,000 to 10,000 emails, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to connect.
• Additional Reporting Tools: Gain deeper insights into your operations with a user hierarchy system, enabling you to make better data-driven decisions.
• Even More Coming: Open API access, disqualification reasons, multiple pipeline workflows, knockout questions for questionnaires, more free job posting venues, and EEO reporting!

Exclusive Offer for You: We greatly value your loyalty, and we’re excited to extend an exclusive offer to our current customers. Beginning September 1, you will have the opportunity to experience the Professional Tier at no additional cost for 90 days. This will give you ample time to explore its benefits and see how it aligns with your needs. We want to ensure that you have the freedom to make the decision that best suits your evolving requirements. If you do not wish to upgrade after 90 days, your subscription will remain the same.

How to Get Started: On September 1, we will automatically turn on the additional features for you. You can also reach out to our dedicated customer support team if you have any questions or need assistance.

We are confident that this new level of service will enhance your experience and contribute to your continued success. Thank you for your commitment and loyalty as a Top Echelon customer!

You might think that you can’t attend Top Echelon Connect Fall 2023 because you have so many things to do on your recruiting desk. You have placements to make, after all.

I want to see YOU in Chicago!

We want every Network agency and Network recruiter to be as successful as they can possibly be. With that in mind, I’d like to announce our Top Echelon Network and ATS Basic Training schedules. (Or re-announce them, as the case may be.)

River Kale

Network members have options in regards to when they participate in a Network Basic Training session. Specifically, they can register for this training on any Friday at 3 p.m., Eastern Time. That is, of course, unless the Friday falls on a recognized holiday.

The Network Basic Training session focuses on sharing jobs, sharing candidates, and best practices within Top Echelon Network. This session is recommended for new Network members. (Please note that non-members will be removed from the session.)

There are multiple scenarios in which attending this training session makes sense for your agency:

• If you, as the agency owner, or any of the recruiters in your agency would like a “refresher” regarding Network membership
• If you, as the agency owner, or any of the recruiters in your agency have questions about Network membership
• Or if you, as the owner, hires new recruiters for your agency and they need to be trained regarding Network membership

Top Echelon Network Success Specialist River Kale usually conducts these Network Basic Training sessions.

J.D. Fye

And now, on to the ATS Basic Training schedule. (And when we say “ATS,” we mean the recruiting software formerly known as Big Biller.) ATS users have their choice of days, this time either Tuesday or Thursday (once again, with the exception of holidays). The time is set at 2 p.m., Eastern Time.

As you might expect, this is a training session focused on answering basic questions about features and processes within the Top Echelon recruiting software.

Top Echelon Training Manager J.D. Fye usually conducts these ATS Basic Training sessions.

Click HERE to register for your ATS Basic Training time slot!

Please note that both the Network Basic Training and ATS Basic Training sessions are typically small group sessions. So please be respectful of other users’ time and questions.

The Network Basic Training session is a great resource for helping Network members learn more about the Top Echelon software. That’s because the bottom line is this: we want to help your recruiting agency make more placements!

And when we say “make more placements,” we also mean “make more split placements.” We’ve said this on more than one occasion, but “half a loaf is better than none.” Or to put it into recruiter parlance, half a placement fee is better than no placement fee at all.

Of course, you can always reach me if you have questions regarding your Network membership. You can do so by calling 330.595.17423 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

Top Echelon offers a free monthly webinar as part of its Expert Recruiter Coaching Series.

These webinars touch upon a variety of recruiter-related topics. These topics deal with both job candidates and clients. As always, our goal with these webinars is to help professional recruiters and executive search consultants just like YOU make more placements.

We record these webinars for recruiters who can’t attend the live presentation, and we’re now pleased to offer the video from our most recent webinar by Barb Bruno, CPC/CTS of Good as Gold Training.

The title of that webinar (and corresponding training video) is “Too Much to Do . . . and Not Enough Time?”

Below is the official description for this training video:

Why do such a small percentage of individuals in the recruiting and staffing profession attain top production? Why do thousands of recruiters, account executives, managers, and owners work long hours and incredibly hard—but the hours don’t equate to their income or profits?

Barb Bruno, CPC/CTS

At the end of the day, if you’ve ever heard yourself say, “I’m further behind now than when I got here,” the next webinar video in Top Echelon’s Expert Recruiter Coaching Series by Barb Bruno, CPC/CTS of Good as Gold Training is a MUST WATCH!

You can’t manage time, but you can control how you use your time. Barb will provide viewers of this session with the following:

• Solutions to the top 10 candidate time wasters
• Solutions to the top 10 client time wasters
• Solutions to the top 10 recruiter/account executive time wasters
• The benefits of implementing the solutions
