Every new agency that joins TE Network brings new connections, recruiting expertise, and opportunities for members to work together, make split placements, and grow their businesses.

As the Network continues to expand, each new member adds relationships, industry knowledge, and recruiting experience that can benefit other agencies throughout the community. Those connections create more possibilities for recruiters to share job orders, exchange candidates, develop trusted trading partner relationships, and generate additional revenue.

With all of this in mind, we’re pleased to welcome the 12 agencies that became TE Network members during the month of August. As these agencies become more involved in the Network and connect with fellow recruiters, they have the opportunity to establish relationships that can lead to successful placements and long-term collaboration.

We encourage you to introduce yourself and get acquainted with August’s newest members. A conversation today could lead to your next split placement, a productive new trading partner relationship, or an opportunity neither agency could have pursued alone.

That is what TE Network is all about: bringing recruiters together so they can share opportunities, combine their resources and expertise, and achieve more collectively than they might accomplish on their own.

As always, you can view both applicants and newly approved members in the Network Dashboard section within the software.

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 recruiting agencies listed below and publicly welcome them to TE 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 membership in general, please contact me. My contact information is listed at the end of this blog post.)

There is something to be said about longevity, both within the recruiting profession and also as a member of TE Network.

And we are the ones who are going to say something about longevity in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. That’s because this issue is the monthly issue of the newsletter, in which we announce (among other things) those recruiting agencies that are celebrating an anniversary in TE Network.

As you can see below, there are 27 such agencies celebrating a Network anniversary during the month of September. And the agency with the most seniority is Professional Recruiting Consultants, Inc. in Talleyville, Delaware. This recruiting agency has been part of Top Echelon for the past 34 years.

Roger Malatesta and Lisa Malatesta represent Professional Recruiting Consultants in TE Network, and we’d like to congratulate them, as well as every agency that is celebrating an anniversary in Top Echelon this 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.

Once again, congratulations to all of the agencies celebrating anniversaries in our split fee recruiting network during the month of September!
