A while back, we upgraded the Top Echelon Network software, including the Members’ Area and the Recruiter Profiles of the Preferred Member recruiters.

While the updated version represents a substantial upgrade over the previous version, it did leave out some of the details associated with the previous version, specifically details associated with the placements each Preferred Member has made.

I’m pleased to announce that we recently upgraded the software again.  Not only have we returned the old functionality in terms of placement information, but we’ve gone beyond that to provide even more details regarding each Member’s placements.

When you view a Member’s profile, you’ll see the number of job orders and candidates they have shared with the Network in a box on the right-hand side of the page, as well as the number of Network placements they’ve made.

When you click on the link that says “View Placements,” you’ll browse to a page that now shows the following details regarding each of their placements:

• The name of the recruiter with whom they made the split
• The position title
• The fee amount
• The fee percentage
• The type of placements (permanent or contract)
• Whether or not the recruiter had the job order or the candidate
• The date of the placement
• The status of the placement (open or closed)

Not only that, but the recruiter’s total cash-in amount is in the upper right-hand portion of the page in an orange font, beside the words “Total Cash-In Since Joining.”  And this is where we’ve taken things a step further: now you can see how much the recruiter has cashed in during every year they’ve been a Preferred Member.

All you have to do is click on the “Show a Specific Year” dropdown box located immediately below the total cash-in dollar amount.  Once you navigate to a specific year, you’ll see all the details of the placements associated with that year, as well as the cash-in total for that year.

This update is just one of the ways that we continually strive to provide the best experience possible for our Preferred Member recruiters.  If you have any questions about this change, or about your Preferred Membership in general, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

‘Tis the season to be jolly . . . and merry . . . and meeting the other members of your Regional Core Group face-to-face!

That’s exactly what the members of the Central Ohio Regional Core Group are doing.  Their in-person meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, December 7, at the Catering by Design Center in Columbus.  If you’re a Preferred Member recruiter in Ohio, and you haven’t signed up to attend this meeting, I encourage you to do so!

Some of the Top Producers in the Network will be on hand to not only present training sessions for those in attendance, but also to trade hot job orders and candidates.  The cost of attending this Regional Core Group meeting is $16 per person, and that price includes a buffet lunch.  That lunch will consist of turkey croissants and wraps, southwest chicken wraps, Italian subs, ham/roast beef croissants, chicken salad, vegetarian wraps, pasta salad, fresh fruit platter, dessert and drinks (iced tea, sodas, coffee).

If you’re planning to attend, please RSVP to me at Drea@TopEchelon.com.  You can pay your $16 at the door, either with cash or with a check made out to Top Echelon Network.  The Catering by Design Center is located at 6465 Busch Boulevard in Columbus, and the phone number is (614) 436-1234.

There is currently a thread on the Discussion Forum in the Members’ Area regarding the upcoming Central Ohio Regional Core Group meeting.  As of today, there are close to 30 recruiters who have already indicated that they’ll be attending, but we want to drive attendance up even more.

We also want YOU to participate in a Regional Core Group meeting, wherever you are in the country.  We’ve had these types of meetings in places like Indiana, Tennessee, Maryland, and Florida.  If you’d like to be part of a Regional Core Group meeting in your area—and especially if you’d like to lead or facilitate one—contact me immediately so that we can discuss specifics.

Make this a very merry holiday season . . . and network as much as you can!
