There are multiple Steves in Top Echelon Network. However, there are two Steves that stand out just a little higher than the rest in terms of career production within the Network.

Those two are Steve Brody of Executive Resource Systems and Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc.

The former is the last Charter Member in Top Echelon, a recruiter who has made 137 placements and close to $950K through the Network. The latter has been a consistent Top Producer since joining Top Echelon 25 years ago, accounting for 501 placements and more than $4.3 million.

And now, to top it all off, they’ve made a $48K split together. “The Steves” did so by placing a Director of Information Technology Services for a flat fee.

Congratulations are also in order this week for Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, who led the way on an individual basis by being part of four of the 13 split placements listed below.

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 period from September 19, through September 25, 2022.

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 330.595.1742 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

Roughly three months ago, we announced that members of Top Echelon Network could access medical insurance through our partnership with Huntington and Elevate to Wellness.

And since we had a positive reception to that announcement, we’d like to remind you that you now have access to a group medical plan through this partnership, as well as other large company benefits on a proprietary platform.

Below are instructions to get started:

1. Click on this link to access the portal page.
2. Type in Rep Code JSOH2434 to confirm that the Rep Code is Jon Spiker.
3. Click on the “Medical Plans” button.
4. Scroll down and select either CIGNA or Anthem/BCBS and click on the word “Elite.”
5. Follow the directions from there to enroll in the plan of your choice.

We know the challenges that small businesses and independent contractors face when trying to enroll in quality medical coverage at competitive rates. If your only option is exchange plans with high deductibles, limited benefits, narrow networks, and expensive rates, then we encourage you to participate in this special program.

If you are interested in a tool that will enhance recruiting and retention efforts with your employees and associates, this may be the solution for you and the members of your agency!

(NOTE: Please direct any inquiries or questions regarding this program to Huntington’s Michael Kachidurian at 914.262.7382 or via email at mkachidurian@chathamcg.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 those recruiters who can’t attend the live presentation, and we’re now pleased to offer the video from our most recent webinar by Shally Steckerl, Global Head of Talent Sourcing and People Analytics at LTK.

The title of that webinar (and corresponding training video) is “Strategic and Insightful Sourcing Methods for a Candidates’ Market.”

Below is the official description for this training video:

Regardless of what the headlines are saying (or not saying) about the economy, employers are still in “hiring mode” in most industries.

That means it’s still a candidates’ market and the best candidates have the most leverage. It also means that there are fewer active job seekers and more passive candidates in the job market . . . which ALSO means you have to continuously hunt for the people your clients want to hire.

Watch the next video in Top Echelon’s Expert Recruiter Coaching Series of webinars, as Shally Steckrl, Global Head of Talent Sourcing and People Analytics at LTK, shares his latest “tricks of the trade.” With compelling content and his usual engaging style of delivery, this is one power-packed session that you don’t want to miss.

So watch this video TODAY and discover “Strategic and Insightful Sourcing Methods for a Candidates’ Market”!
