By now, you probably know that Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. is the Recruiter of the Month in Top Echelon Network for the month of March.

However, you might not know that one of the reasons he earned that honor is because he was part of the Highest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2013.  That makes sense, since after the number of split placements made, a recruiter’s cash-in total is the second criteria that we consider when determining who wins our monthly and quarterly Network awards.

What makes this particular placement special is that its fee is so high that it’s currently in the running for the Highest Split Placement Fee of the Year.  Fees that have won this award in the past have actually been smaller than the one that Stuck and his Trading Partner, Steve Strickland of American Career Search, Inc. recently made.

So don’t be surprised if you see Stuck’s face in the future (in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, that is).  You might also see him in person at a Top Echelon Network conference or convention or at a Regional Core Group meeting . . . or if you and he are good friends, you might cross paths on a social basis.

You get the picture.  Move along.

You know who the “Recruiter of the Month” is.

You know who the “Recruiter of the Quarter” is.

Now’s time for the “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter” . . . and as it turns out, that placement was the result of the Top Echelon Network’s MEGA Database!

The MEGA Database is a tool that allows recruiters to search through the default resumes of other Preferred Member recruiters who also use Big Biller.  This search will not only show you “Who Works What,” but it will also show you “Who Has What”—in other words, what (or who) other recruiters have in their database.

The MEGA Database holds tremendous power and potential for Preferred Member recruiters and Big Biller users.  If used properly, it can increase recruiters’ ability to source candidates for their open job orders, thus allowing them to fill those orders more quickly.

That power and potential was realized for the Preferred Member recruiters below, who made “The Largest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter” with the MEGA Database!

Our criteria for these recognition awards:

Top Echelon Network is a split placement network.  As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes the basis of our criteria for these recognition awards.  We determine the quarterly award winners based upon two factors, which are listed below in order of importance:

1.) The number of split placements made
2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned as a result of those split placements

In other words, the number of split placements that recruiters make is our first consideration.  In the event of a tie, the cash-in total earned from those split placements is the deciding factor and serves to break the tie.  Obviously, the recruiter with more cash-in dollars in the event of a tie is the recruiter who wins the recognition award.

Preferred Member Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group was “Recruiter of the Quarter” in Top Echelon Network for the second quarter of 2012.  He made nine split placements to earn that honor.

Pretty good production, wouldn’t you say?

Well, Cameron increased his Network production by 33% in the third quarter, making a whopping TWELVE split placements combined during the months of July, August, and September.

How good was Cameron’s third quarter?  Sean Napoles, CPC of Career Brokers, Inc. enjoyed a great third quarter in the Network, making six split placements . . . and Cameron still doubled that.

How good was Cameron’s third quarter?  His cash-in for the quarter was nearly $100,000.  That total represents his half of the fees that those 12 split placements produced.

Can Cameron make another 12 split placements in the Network during the fourth quarter?  Can he break the Top Echelon Network record for split placements in a calendar year?  Stay tuned.

Below are the winners of the recognition awards for the third quarter.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.

Napoles was second with six split placements, while a handful of recruiters made three split placements apiece, led by Gail Williams of Williams Recruiting, Inc., whose cash-in total for those three gave her third place.

When you make nine placements in Top Echelon Network in the same quarter, there’s an excellent chance you’re going to be named “Recruiter of the Quarter.”

Well, that happened during the second quarter.  The Preferred Member recruiter who accomplished the feat?  None other than Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group, the Network’s “Top-Producing Recruiter” in 2011.

Cameron, who’s currently atop the 2012 leader board, is well on his way to garnering the “Top-Producing” honors once again this year.

However, Cameron wasn’t part of the “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter,” so he’s NOT involved in every award we announce . . . although sometimes it seems as though that’s the case.

Below are the winners of the recognition awards for the second quarter of this year.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.

Recruiter of the Quarter
Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group

Other recruiters enjoyed highly productive quarters, as well, including Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC (six placements) and Sean Napoles, CPC of Career Brokers, Inc. and Marc Tappis of Opportunity Search, Inc. (four placements apiece).

The first quarter of 2012 is over!  What does that mean?  That there are three more quarters to go . . . and we have some awards to announce.

However, there are some “old faces” located within this blog post.  One of them is Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group, who has continued the torrid pace he set in 2011.  Another recruiter gaining recognition for his performance during the first quarter is Gene McQueen, also of the Cameron Craig Group.  McQueen not only was in the running for the “Recruiter of the Quarter” award, but he was also part of the “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter” award.

So while last year was a big one for the Cameron Craig Group, this year is shaping up to be not too shabby, either.  Can somebody dethrone Trey Cameron during the second quarter?  Time—and split placements—will tell the tale.

In the meantime, below are the winners of the recognition awards for the first quarter of this year.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.  For more information about the placements and cash-in totals associated with these recognition awards, please login to the Members’ Area and view the profiles and placement details of the recruiters involved.

The beginning of one year means . . . a bunch of Top Echelon Network awards need to be passed out for the previous year.  While we won’t be distributing any awards right now (we’ll do that at the upcoming 2012 National Convention instead), there are some accomplishments that we’d like to recognize for the month of December and the fourth quarter of 2011.

If it appears as though one picture keeps displaying below, that’s because it is—the picture of Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group.  Cameron was part of three of the four recognition awards for December and the fourth quarter, including “Recruiter of the Month” and “Recruiter of the Quarter.”  As you might imagine, he’s in line to receive quite a bit of hardware at the National Convention, as well.  We’ll let you know exactly how much hardware Cameron—and other Preferred Member recruiters—won during 2011 in a future issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.

In the meantime, below are the winners of the recognition awards for December and the fourth quarter of the year.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.  For more information about the placements and cash-in totals associated with these recognition awards, please login to the Members’ Area and view the profiles and placement details of the recruiters involved.

The number of split placements made, and 2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned.

It’s that time again—time to recognize recruiters in The Top Echelon recruiter network for their accomplishments and achievements.  That’s because the second quarter ended recently, and that means we have the award winners for not only the month of June, but also for the second quarter of 2011.  Just to review, we recognize Preferred Member recruiters for both monthly and quarterly performance in two categories—Recruiter of the Month and Highest Split Placement Fee of the Month.

Below are the winners of these awards for June of 2011, as well as the second quarter of the year.  We’d like to congratulate those recruiters who earned them and thank them for their efforts.  For more information about the placements and cash-in totals associated with these awards, please login to the Members’ Area and view the profiles and placement details of the recruiters involved.
