There’s a simple reason why you should read The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog every week:

Because we publish every important announcement and important piece of information that we want to communicate to Network members in The Pinnacle.

If it’s important, then it’s in The Pinnacle. If it affects your Network membership, then it’s in The Pinnacle. And as you probably noticed most recently, if it affects Top Echelon overall, it’s also in The Pinnacle. (I’m sure you’re probably seeing a pattern here.)

Of course, you do not have to read every article and blog post word-for-word, from beginning to end. I know that is not realistic. However, all it takes is a few minutes to scan the headlines and then skim the articles for nuggets of information. In fact, it can probably be done in less than three minutes.

You receive a Pinnacle email every week. All you have to do is click the main button in the body of the email, the one that entices you to “READ THE ENTIRE ISSUE!” Clicking that link will open up a new browser tab with all of the articles from that week’s issue.

You don’t have to click back and forth to go between the articles. However, if you scan the headlines in the email and you only see one article of interest, simply click on the link to that article. You can read that one article and forget about the rest, if you so choose.

We’ve tried to make the Pinnacle email (and The Pinnacle) as user-friendly as we can. In fact, you can even access individual Pinnacle articles in the Network Dashboard Area of the TE software. They’re located on the right-hand side of the main page.

All of that being said, we want The Pinnacle to continue doing what we always intended it to do. Basically, that’s helping members of Top Echelon Network make more split placements with one another.

Below are five ways that The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog can help you make more splits:

#1—Best practices

Top Echelon Network has been in existence for more than 34 years. During that time, set patterns have emerged.

These patterns have less to do with emerging and evolving technology and more to do with how human beings like to interact with one another. The validity of these patterns and practices has been proven time and time again, which is why we stress them so much. They work!

#2—Case studies

One of the best ways to show how well our best practices work is to show how they’ve worked on other recruiters’ desks. It’s one thing to say why you should do something, but it’s quite another to show how another person benefited from doing that very thing.

It’s the “real world application” component that lends credence and credibility to what some recruiters might consider our “theoretical” best practices. The proof, as they say, is always in the pudding. (Who else is hungry for pudding now?)

#3—Success stories

When a recruiter implements the best practices of the Network and enjoys success, they could become part of a case study. If they enjoy success over an extended period of time, then they officially become a “success story.”

Once a recruiter reaches a certain point and they understand what it takes to excel in the Network, they continue to excel, often to the point when they’re ready to retire.

#4—Statistics and trends

Top Echelon collects a wide variety of statistics throughout the year. We publish these statistics periodically to inform Network members of trends that may be developing.

As you might expect, these trends revolve mainly around how members can make more placements (both split and non-split) and how they can experience more long-term success.

#5—Product and software development news

We’re continually thinking of new ways to help Network recruiters make more placements. Those ways often result in new and/or improved product offerings.

One example is the Network Candidates sourcing tool, which allows members to tap into an additional six million resumes in the databases of other Network recruiters.

I want to thank you for reading The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog and for being a Network member. Just remember: The Pinnacle is the number-one way in which we communicate with you.

So read it! (Or scan it . . . or skim it . . . you get the idea.)

It’s that time of year again! Yes, that’s right—it’s the END of the year. (You can almost set your calendar by it.) And with the end of the year comes the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.

As you might have already guessed, that means it’s time for us to publish our upcoming holiday hours. That way, you’ll know when we’re in the office and when we’re not.

Making you guess might be more fun, but it might also make you angry. We wouldn’t like you when you’re angry, so . . .

Offices closed for one week (and a day)

The Top Echelon Software offices will be closed the week of Monday, December 25, plus Monday of the following week, in observance of the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.

Specifically, this means our offices will be closed Monday, December 25, through Friday, December 29, and also on Monday, January 1.

These hours apply to:

The Top Echelon offices will re-open for business as usual at 8 a.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Tuesday, January 2.

Like Thanksgiving, this is the time of year to be grateful for everything you have. We at Top Echelon are certainly grateful to have all of you as customers.

We’re thankful for your commitment as Network members, we’re glad to call many of you friends, and we’re hopeful that this holiday means as much to you as it does to us.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As you may have noticed, we’ve been releasing updates on a regular basis regarding Top Echelon’s recruiting software and also the Top Echelon Network software.

So you might be asking yourself, “Self, is there a place where I can see ALL of the Top Echelon product updates?”

If you asked yourself that question, then you’re in luck . . . because such a place does exist! That place is the Top Echelon Product Updates Page!

On that page, you can see the most recent updates and upgrades to our software. We break the updates into categories based upon the month that we released them. When you visit the page, you’ll notice that the updates go as far back as April of 2018. (Obviously, we’ve been updating the software for a lot longer than that, but that’s the current starting point for the page.)

Not only that, but we also supply an answer to the question, “What’s next?” According to the Top Echelon Product Updates Page, this is what’s next as of the publishing of this blog post:

  • New User Interface – A fresh, modern update is in progress for our user interface. This update will enhance usability and accessibility across all of Top Echelon Software. This will also set the stage for larger improvements in 2024, including a revamped main dashboard
  • Sequencing – String together a series of automatic actions with configured delays between each. This advanced feature will enable you to create automated campaigns as well as facilitate internal communications
  • AI Job Description Generator – Use AI to automatically generate a job description based on the Job Title and other fields such as Certification, Education, Compensation Requirements, Remote Status, and more
  • Indeed Job Feed – Top Echelon Recruiting Software is pursuing a new, improved Partnership with Indeed that will revolutionize the way you use both products! We will soon send Indeed a feed that includes all Jobs advertised on your Agency’s Job Board or Careers Page in Top Echelon. Your Agency may opt-out of this feed at anytime
  • A2P 10DLC Registration for Text Messaging – To ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations, we are requiring all agencies using text messaging to register in the A2P 10DLC program. This program provides a means to more easily identify fraudulent and/or malicious text messages while providing better deliverability to legitimate messages. We’re working on providing the ability to complete and send this information directly from the software. In the meantime, we’re able to register on your behalf by having a representative from your company complete and submit the following form: A2P 10DLC Company Registration Form

We also announce any beta testing of new features for those who want to help us make the software better. If you’re interested in Beta testing these new features, email us at beta@topechelon.com.

Of course, you may have also noticed that we send emails when we make updates and upgrades to our systems and software. However, not everybody opens the emails. Perhaps YOU are one of those people.

If that’s the case, then visiting the Top Echelon Product Updates Page on a regular basis could help keep you abreast of all the exciting new changes that we’re making to our software and systems for the expressed purpose of helping YOU make more placements.

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