Why are we calling this the “2013 National Convention Edition” of split placements in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog?

Because in all of the split placements listed below, at least one of the recruiters involved attended the 2013 Top Echelon Network National Convention in Florida last week.

In fact, in two of the placements, BOTH of the recruiters involved attended the convention.  Not only that, but some of the recruiters involved in these split placements who didn’t attend the convention DID attend a Top Echelon event in the past.

This is no mere coincidence.  This is hard evidence that Top Echelon recruiter networking conferences and conventions provide value for those who attend them.  And to help you sift through the evidence, the names of the recruiters below who attended the 2013 National Convention have been italicized.

As you can see, the evidence speaks for itself.

Below are the positions that were recently filled by Network recruiters:

• Software Engineer
  
• Support Analyst
  
• Staff Verification Engineer
  
• Insurance/VP Commercial Lines
• Corporate Accounts Manager
  
• Quality Engineer
• Production Supervisor/Process Engineer

If you work within these industries and would like to know more about how you can make split placements in the Network, contact Membership Development Coordinator Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS at (330) 455-1433, Ext. 156.

We are all connected . . . by the “great circle of split placements”!

Okay, so that phrase didn’t originate from a Disney animated film that grossed hundreds of millions of dollars.  However, it was the product of this week’s placements in Top Echelon Network.

That’s because we featured Network recruiter Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, and he recently made a split placement with Network recruiter Laurie Gillespie of Dayspring & Associates.

Gillespie, meanwhile, has not one, but TWO split placements in this week’s issue of The Pinnacle.

Does that seem more like a triangle to you than a circle, maybe even an isosceles triangle?  Unfortunately, the “great isosceles triangle of split placements” doesn’t make much sense.

While I try to figure this out, please peruse the list of positions that were recently filled by Top Echelon Network recruiters:

• Software Engineer – Progress
  
• Datastage Systems Consultant
  
• Polymer Research Engineer
  
• Data Analytics & Visualization Analyst
  
• HR Manager
  
• Web Developer/Programmer
  
• Project Manager
  
• Key Account Sales – Central
  

Do you work within the industries and disciplines represented by these positions?  If so, then we might be featuring YOUR split placement next!

If you have any questions about circles, triangles, or how you can make placements in Top Echelon Network, contact Membership Development Coordinator Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS at (330) 455-1433, Ext. 156.

Everybody loves a good story . . . especially a good recruiting story.

This week in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, we don’t have just one or even two good recruiting stories—we have three!  That trio of headhunting tales is courtesy of Top Echelon Network recruiter Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc.

There are many things that make these stories great:

• All three were the first split placement that Stuck made with the other recruiters involved (Kevin Bautista, Steve Strickland, and Terry Rhodes).
• In two of the three situations, the other recruiter was making their first split placement in Top Echelon Network (Bautista and Rhodes).
• One of the splits involved the placement of a Chief Executive Officer, which brought with it a rather hefty fee.
• Each split placement exemplifies the teamwork associated with high-quality Trading Partner relationships in the Network.

We’d like to thank Stuck for submitting his comments and for helping us to highlight these split placements—and these three great recruiting stories!

If YOU have a great recruiting story regarding a recent split placement with another Network recruiter, send your comments to marketing@topechelon.com, and they’ll appear in a future issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.

“This was a unique placement.  The candidate Laurie presented started the interview process before Christmas, then left for a month-long trip to Argentina and came back a month later, finished the interview process, and landed the job.  Good things happen those who wait.  What a super job Laurie did in both finding this candidate and communicating along the way.  Thanks, Laurie!”

Position Title—SQL DEVELOPER

(Editor’s note: This is the first split placement that Stuck and Bautista have made together in Top Echelon Network.)

“Bill has been super to work with to place these Progress Developers.  He has sent multiple candidates, and they all seem to get interviews and do well.  It’s just a matter of time until we get another one, Bill.  Thanks for all of your hard work on finding such great candidates!”

Submitted by Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. regarding his split placement with Steve Strickland of American Career Search, Inc.

“It was great working with Terry on our first split together.  [He] sent just this one candidate to see if I had interest, and lo and behold, she ended up getting the job out of multiple candidates who interviewed.  Nice job!  Looking forward to working together again one day.”

Submitted by Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. regarding his split placement with Terry Rhodes of NewCareers

Position Title—BUSINESS CONSULTANT

Fee Percentage—15%

(Editor’s note: This is the first split placement that Stuck and Rhodes have made together in Top Echelon Network.)

The great thing about Trading Partner relationships in Top Echelon Network is that once you reach a certain point, the placements just start to flow.

Take, for example, two of the recruiters highlighted in this week’s placements—Patrick Staudacher and Sean Napoles.

Staudacher and Napoles have made seven split placements during the past two years, and two of those occurred recently.  This is just more evidence of the fact that once you make one split placement with another Preferred Member recruiter, many more can follow.

Below is the list of positions that were filled this past week by Network recruiters:

• SAP Analyst SD
  
• SAP Manager
  
• Director of Purchasing
  
• Chief Executive Officer
  
• Vice President – Assistant Controller
• Product Engineering Manager
  
• Software Developer
  
• Process Engineer
  

Are you looking to fill positions just like these?  Do you work with candidates who have these titles?  Then YOU can make placements in Top Echelon Network.
