When a recruiting firm in Top Echelon makes quite a few split placements with other recruiters in the Network, we often like to highlight that firm in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, often in this popular feature.  We’ve done it in the past, and we’ll do it in the future.  In fact, we’re doing it in the present with Preferred Member firm the Cameron Craig Group.

Trey Cameron has made 91 Network placements and Gene McQueen has added five more placements.  This week, we’re highlighting two of Cameron’s most recent placements, supported by the comments of the recruiters who made those split placements with him.  Congratulations to all of these recruiters, and we look forward to more comments—and split placements—in the future.

If you have comments for a Trading Partner regarding a split placement, please email those comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.

There are many recruiters in the Top Echelon split fee recruiting network who have come close to making split placements together in the past, but weren’t quite able to do so.  Well, this week in our “‘Comments’ and Compliments” feature, we highlight two Trading Partners who were finally able to make a split placement after numerous close calls.  It might have been, “Close, but no cigar,” before, but now these recruiters can enjoy a celebratory “split placement cigar.”  Also included are a pair of recruiters who struck pay dirt in the Split Candidate Database.  Congratulations!

Sometimes, recruiters from the same Preferred Member firm submit comments for this regular feature in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog . . . at the same time.  It doesn’t happen often, but it’s happened this week.

The firm in question is J.D. Cotter Search, Inc., and the two recruiters who submitted the comments are listed below (as well as the details of the split placements they made with other Members of the Network).  That would be why we’re calling this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments” the “J.D. Cotter Search Edition”!

We want the rest of you to join the split placement fray.  If you have comments for a Trading Partner regarding a split placement, please email those comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.  Act now!

Remember, if you have comments for a Trading Partner regarding a split placement, please email those comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.  Oh, and one more thing . . . act now!

It’s baseball season!  What does that mean?  Well . . . other than the fact that it’s baseball season, it means that recruiters are hitting home runs in Top Echelon Network.  In other words, they’re making split fee recruiting placements with their Trading Partners.  That’s exactly what we want, of course, in addition to the Cleveland Indians winning the World Series.

However, since THAT probably isn’t going to happen (even though the Indians are currently in first place in their division), what is going to happen is that recruiters are going to keep making split placements with one another in Top Echelon recruiting network.

So, with that in mind, keep sending your compliments to us.  If you have comments for a Trading Partner regarding a split placement, please email those comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.

Okay, the compliments from Preferred Member recruiters have started to pile up.  So what does that mean?  It means that we publish more of them in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, that’s what!  This week, three recent split placements between Network recruiters are being highlighted in the newsletter, and that might be the case going forward, if the number of comments that recruiters submit with their Completed Placement forms continues to grow.  And when you’re talking about split placements, “growth” is a good word.

Please add to our workload!  If you have comments for a Trading Partner regarding a split placement, please email those comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.
