Once again, Top Echelon Network recruiters made split placements with some big fees during the month of November! As you can see below, the largest split fee for the month totaled $51,250.

Congratulations to Jennifer Hull of Jenn Resources and Jim Strickland of BioSource Recruiters, who together placed a Senior Level (AD or Director title) Clinical Trial Management position to generate that fee.

As a reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its Network split fee recruiting awards in four distinct categories:

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

We only announce the winners of these awards in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We do so usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

So congratulations to everybody on the list below for making some BIG placement fees during the month of November!

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 330.455.1433, x156 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.

For quite a few years, Top Echelon recruiter Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group dominated the Network’s Recruiter of the Month Award. In recent months, Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group was atop the heap more often than not.

But now, Trey has once again claimed Recruiter of the Month honors in the Network! He did so for November, making a total of 21 splits during the month and generating a cash-in total of $153,273 in the process.

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Month in Top Echelon Network:

1. The top 10 recruiters for the month
2. The “cash-in” total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the month.)
3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month
4. The date that each recruiter’s agency joined Top Echelon Network
5. The number of splits each recruiter has made during their Network career
6. Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their Network career

With this format, there are more likely to be ties among recruiters, especially with those members who have made split placements with each other.

Congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the month of November!

Top Echelon’s recruiting network hit double digits again once again in terms of new member agencies for the month of November!

As you can see below, 13 new recruiting agencies joined the ranks of the Network membership in November.

As the Director of Network Operations in Top Echelon, I am glad that these agencies have joined us. I look forward to helping them make splits in the Network.

With that in mind, I encourage you to look over the list of new members below. And of course, reach out to any one of them (or more) if you believe that you could make placements together.

We at Top Echelon run the names of recruiting agencies applying for membership in the Network Dashboard section of the Top Echelon software. We list the names of new Network agencies, as well.

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 agencies listed below. I also welcome them to the membership, and as I mentioned earlier, I look forward to helping them make splits in the Network!

(If you have any questions about reaching out to new members or about your split recruiting membership in general, please contact me. My contact information is listed at the end of this blog post.)

This is the time of year during which there are many holidays and many reasons to celebrate . . . so let’s celebrate some agency anniversaries in Top Echelon Network!

Not only that, but there are also three other agencies celebrating Network anniversaries of 20 years or more. They include Engineering and Technical Assoc., Inc. (25 years); LS Doll & Associates (24 years); and Personnel Services Unlimited (21 years).

As you can see below, these six agencies are part of the 25 that are celebrating a Network anniversary during the month of December!

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.
