There is perhaps no member more deserving of winning TE’s Recruiter of the Week Award than Shree Kumar of Max Populi, LLC.

Shree specializes in a number of areas, including Financial Services, Technology, and Healthcare. She joined Top Echelon’s recruiting network on January 4, 2017. (That’s about as close to the start of the New Year as you can join.)

Big fees for Shree

Shree definitely “hit the ground running.” Since joining TE, she’s made a total of nine split placements. And it’s not just the fact that she’s been making nearly one split per month. She’s also been making splits with large recruiting fees. How large? Well, try these on for size:

• $44,400
• $41,400
• 39,560 (twice!)

And if that’s not enough, she has a $68,000 placement in the works with split recruiting partner Shelli Saunders of GoRecruitMe. We recently published “The Top 10 Recruiting Fees for the Third Quarter.” Shree had a part in three of the top 10!

By the time the year is over, Shree will have paid $1,560 in membership fees. That’s her investment in the Network. As for her return? She will have earned nearly $100,000 cash-in. And that’s a conservative estimate.

A solid partnership = winning

We reached out to Shree recently, and she was good enough to provide some comments regarding her success in TE:

Shree Kumar

“Signing up with TEN is one of the best business decisions that I have made in recent times. A solid partnership is the key to a successful placement. Finding partners who think and do like you do is not easy to come by, for it is not an 8-to-5 job. You are always on call, 24/7.

“Whatever success that I have had is largely due to these partnerships that are built on such cornerstones as commitment, trust, transparency, and follow-through. The relationships that I have been able to build with a handful of partners will certainly last a lifetime. Lastly, but definitely not the least, the folks at Top Echelon have always been willing and able to provide the much-needed support to my undertakings.”

Congratulations to Shree Kumar for winning the Recruiter of the Week award! We want to thank her for her commitment to Top Echelon and her eagerness to use our recruiter network tools to make more placements.

Earning large recruiting fees in Top Echelon Network is apparently a habit for some members. That’s because they consistently show up on lists like the one below.

The list below represents the top 10 recruiting fees for the third quarter in TE. And it’s interesting how many times certain recruiters’ names appear on the list.

First, there’s Nancy Hastings of The Hastings Group. Nancy, as you might remember, was named Recruiter of the Week in the Network recently. She appears twice on the list below. She split fees of $55,500 and $50,000. Not bad for a quarter’s work!

Then there’s Shree Kumar of Max Populi, who appears three times on the list! Shree had a hand in three of the top 10 recruiting fees during the third quarter. The amounts of those fees:

• $44,100
• $39,560
• $39,560

That’s a crazy-good return on the investment that she’s made in Top Echelon’s recruiting network. That’s well over a 1,000% return. It’s so ridiculous, I’m not even going to calculate it. (Partly because I hate math. Let’s move on, shall we?)

Then we have Shelli Saunders of The Recruiting Pro. She’s also represented twice on the list below for large placement fees that she split during the third quarter. Shelli is now the agency owner for Network member firm GoRecruitMe, and we suspect that she will continue to crank out placements with hefty fees. (In fact, she has one in the works with Shree right now that is HUGE.)

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Congratulations to Nancy, Shree, Shelli, and everybody who scored big recruiting fees in Top Echelon’s split network during the second quarter!

Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its Network split recruiting awards in four distinct categories, which are listed below:

1.) Recruiter of the Month
2.) Largest Split Fee of the Month
3.) Recruiter of the Quarter
4.) Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

The winners of these awards are only announced in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

Ohio recruiters are well represented within Top Echelon Network. (That should make sense. After all, Top Echelon’s headquarters are located in the Hall of Fame City of Canton.)

Not only that, but Ohio recruiters also constitute one of our most successful Regional Core Groups. You guessed it: that would be the Ohio Regional Core Group!

In addition, this is one of the most tenured Regional Core Groups in Top Echelon’s recruiting network. As such, the group has held a face-to-face meeting at roughly the same time every year. And the group is doing so again in 2017.

Below is the logistical information for this year’s event:

OHIO REGIONAL CORE GROUP MEETING
Thursday, November 16
Hilton Easton
3900 Chagrin Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43219
9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m.
$65 per person

NOT for Ohio recruiters only

Please note that this meeting is NOT for Ohio recruiters only. Any Top Echelon Network member, regardless of state, can attend the meeting. There is no restriction. If you’re from Indiana and you want to attend, please attend. If you’re from Illinois and you want to attend, please attend.

And if you’re from Michigan and you want to attend, forget it. I’m KIDDING! We want you to attend, too, regardless of the Buckeyes-Wolverines rivalry.

If you’d like to attend this core group meeting, simply send an email to drea@topechelon.com and say, “Please register myself and/or (associate’s name) and charge my credit card on file for $(registration fee).”

Remember, Top Echelon’s split network contains four main types of core groups:

1. Traditional Core Groups

These are the ones you form yourself by building relationships with other Network recruiters. They typically involve recruiters that work in the same industry and niche that you do.

2. Non-Traditional Core Groups

These are also ones that you form yourself by building relationships with other Network recruiters. However, these groups do not necessarily contain recruiters who work the same areas that you do. Instead, they usually involve the business side of recruiting or other general recruiting-related topics.

3. Regional Core Groups

These are the recruiter networking events that involve members meeting face-to-face based upon geographic location (like the Ohio meeting).

4. Virtual Core Groups

During these meetings, Network recruiters share hot job orders and candidates during teleconference calls. They also share information about the activity they’re seeing and ideas for increased production.

We have designed all of these groups to help you make more split placements in TE. If you have questions about any of these groups, please give me a call at 330.455.1433, x156.
