CAUSING SPLIT PLACEMENTS THIS WEEK:

Yes, Hiring Hook recruiting websites help Top Echelon Network recruiters make split placements . . . but communication (one of the Four Pillars of Top Echelon) helps more Network recruiters make even more placements!  Each and every year, ‘Regular Communication with Trading Partner’ accounts for more than half of the placements that occur in the Network.

If you want to make split placements in Top Echelon Network, then communicating with other recruiters on a consistent basis, in a variety of ways, and in a high-quality fashion will help put you on the fast track to success.

Oh, and get a Hiring Hook website, too.  Can’t forget about THAT.

POSITIONS FILLED THIS WEEK:

Below are the positions that were recently filled by Top Echelon Network recruiters.

• Project Sales Manager
• Java S/W Engineer
• Chief Engineer
• Digital Forensics Analyst

At Top Echelon Network, we want to help you make more placements.  While we ARE a split placement Network, we want to help you make both split and non-split placements.

With that in mind, we encourage you to take our “Desk Assessment Survey.”  We sent out an email last week to every Network recruiter with a link to the survey.

While participation in the survey has been healthy to this point, there’s a chance you didn’t see the email in your inbox (or you—gasp!—ignored it).

In any case, keep in mind this is just a two-question survey that should take you no more than two or three minutes to complete.  Below are the two questions:

1. Throughout the placement process, there are a number of steps that lead to a completed placement.  To improve your effectiveness within the process, what specific areas could you use help with to improve your productivity, and ultimately, your billings?  These areas may include (but are not limited to) client development, marketing, sourcing, recruiting, administration, management, advertising, etc.  You can list as many as you’d like, and please be as specific as possible.

2. Are there specific areas within the placement process in which you excel and possess an expertise?  They may include (but are not limited to) client development, marketing, sourcing, managing recruiters, running an agency, advertising, etc.  You can list as many as you’d like, and please be as specific as possible.

As you might imagine, there will be a text box in which you can type your answers to these two questions.  Of course, your answers can as long or as short as you would like them to be.  So far, some recruiters have written only a few words, while other recruiters have written paragraphs.

Click here to take our ‘Desk Assessment’ survey!

We’ll be presenting more short surveys in the future, all of which will be designed to help serve you better as customers—in other words, designed to help you make more placements!

If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me at 330.455.1433, x156 or via email at drea@topechelon.com.
