It’s not often that we publicize the size of a split fee in Top Echelon Network . . . but this week, we just can help ourselves.

That’s because the split fee in question (the first one listed below) is over $50,000!

It might not surprise you that the driving force behind the split placement was listed as “Regular communication with another Top Echelon Network recruiter.”  That is the number-one way that Top Echelon Network recruiters make split placements—including placements with split fees of over $50,000!

Let’s see . . . both recruiters involved will pay $1,500 apiece in membership dues this year.  It appears they received a rather substantial return on their Top Echelon Network investment in 2013, and the year isn’t even halfway over yet.

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

• VP of Global Claims
• Quality Engineer – Automotive
• Quality Engineer
• Sr. Java Developer
• Wireless/Mobile Applications Architect

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.
