The Top Echelon placement train continues to roll along, as Network members racked up 17 split placements last week.

Not only that, but one of the placements also brought with it a $42K fee!

Earning that fee were Network recruiters Russ Hovendick of Client Staffing Solutions, Inc. and Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group. Russ and Michael placed a Director of Engineering at 22% to generate that fee.

Individually, Stuck led the way by being part of four splits, while Joe Cresci of Food Management Search was part of three deals.

Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group; Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc.; Amylyn Kyler of Kyler Professional Search; and Phil Hurd of Oculus Search Partners, LLC made two splits apiece with other members.

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 26 through October 2, 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!

Top Echelon Customer Success Manager J.D. Fye recently conducted a special Training Tuesday webinar titled, ‘7 Updates in the Top Echelon ATS You Might Have Missed”!

You may have attended this free webinar on Tuesday, October 4. On the other hand, you may not have been in attendance.

Regardless, we have the recorded version of the webinar, which I am presenting to you now. (The recording is also located in the Top Echelon Help Center.)

If you are not a user of our recruiting software, then check out the video, anyway, to see how the software could benefit your recruiting desk and agency.

We at Top Echelon are continually working to make the resources that we provide to our customers better, and this is yet more proof!

Below is the official description of this training video:

2022 has been a great year for updates to Top Echelon’s recruiting software and ATS, and we’ve covered most of the “big hitters” in previous Training Tuesday webinar sessions. But what about some of the honorable mention selections?

Join us for this Training Tuesday webinar video involving small (but still important!) updates that didn’t quite make the cut for a webinar of their own. During this information-packed video, Top Echelon Customer Success Manager J.D. Fye will cover:

• Profile images
• New export to spreadsheet function
• Exporting table views for reports
• Changing font size for the ATS
• More accessible placement forms
• New panes for the panel
• Quicknotes
• And much more!

So make sure that you’re 100% “in the know” about Top Echelon Software, watch this training video, and learn “7 Updates to the Top Echelon ATS You Might Have Missed in 2022”!

Watch this Help Center training video!

Remember to check The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog every week for more updates regarding Top Echelon software improvements and upgrades.

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. Calendar Invites

You now have the ability to send calendar invites to meeting attendees directly from the corresponding Scheduled Activity in Top Echelon.

RSVPs for your invitations will be tracked within the Activity and produce a corresponding bell and/or email Notification, based upon your preferences.

2. Placement Info Displaying on People Datasheets

The Placement pane has been added to People Datasheets to allow you to view and edit corresponding Placement details (start date, placement status, salary, etc.) without having to navigate through Pipelines to do so.

3. Ability to Follow Network Discussions

A new Follow button has been added to all Network Discussion topics to stay up-to-date on the latest information within a given thread.

A new Notification (in-software and/or via email) will inform you when a new comment has been added to a Hot Candidate, Hot Job, or General Discussion that you’re following.

4. Link a Network Job to a Hot Job Discussion

You now have the ability to link specific Network Jobs when posting in the Hot Job Discussion Forum so that viewers will have quick access to work that Job and view all of the corresponding details.

Remember, you can always stay informed about software updates 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.

If you have questions about these updates or about any other aspect of your Top Echelon Network and/or recruiting software account, you can:
