THE SPLIT RECRUITERS:

Veronica Snyder has made 54 placements as one of the Top Echelon Network’s top recruiters.  Her firm, Career Professionals, has been a Preferred Member since 1990.

Recruiter CommentsFrank Laux has made 1 placement as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  His agency, Strategic Search Partners, has been a Preferred Member of the recruiter network since April of this year.

Carey Towe has made 21 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  His agency, Southern Recruiters, has been a Preferred Member since 2001.

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

Last week, we commended David M. Sgro of True North Consultants, Inc. for being a model Network recruiter in Top Echelon . . . and now we’re commending Veronica Snyder of Career Professionals, Inc.!

That’s because like Sgro, Snyder does all of the things that a recruiter needs to do to be successful in the Network.  Those things include the following:

  1. Posting jobs to the Network on a consistent basis
  2. Embracing the Network Pillar of Quality, especially as it pertains to another Pillar, that of Communication
  3. Attending Network events like the National Convention and Fall Conference

Snyder has made 54 Network placements since becoming a Preferred Member recruiter, including five in 2012 and eight already this year.  With three months still remaining in 2013, she certainly has the chance to hit double digits in placements before the year draws to a close.

Not only that, but one of the split placements highlighted below is the first Top Echelon placement for a Network recruiter.  So congratulations to both Snyder and Frank Laux, who’s celebrating his first TE split!

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

Although we’ll be making the point more vividly in our next blog post, Top Echelon Network recruiters are using their Hiring Hook website make split placements.  Three of the recruiters listed below use their websites extensively in their efforts to make splits.  Those recruiters and the number of Top Echelon Network splits they’ve made this year are as follows:

  1. Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group—36 split placements
  2. Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search—23 split placements
  3. Jim Strickland of BioSource International—8 split placements

The evidence is stacking up all over in the form of placement checks.  If you’d like more information about what a Hiring Hook website could do for your Top Echelon Network Membership, give us a call at 330.455.1433.

Somebody will probably make another website split in the time it takes to dial the phone.

THE SPLIT RECRUITERS:

Maria Hemminger has made 78 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  Her agency, MJ Recruiters, LLC, has been a Preferred Member since 2005.

Recruiter CommentsDavid M. Sgro has made 58 placements as one of the Top Echelon Network top recruiters.  His agency, True North Consultants, Inc., has been a Preferred Member since 2006.

Angela Marasco has made 84 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  Her agency, A. Marasco Recruiting, LLC, has been a Preferred Member since 2007.

Nick Stoia has made 29 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  His agency, ASAP Search & Recruiters, has been a Preferred Member since 1999.

Eric V. Stearley, CPC has made 20 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  His agency, Eric V. Stearley, CPC & Associates, has been a Preferred Member since 2007.

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

While in the midst of recognizing and praising numerous Network recruiters for their success in Top Echelon, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention this recruiter: David M. Sgro, CPC of True North Consultants, Inc.

Sgro is in his second stint as a Preferred Member, and since re-joining the Network in 2006, he’s made 55 placements (he made three during his first Network stint).  That’s an average of nearly eight placements per year.

If every recruiter in Top Echelon Network make an average of nearly eight placements per year, we’d hold a ticker tape parade.  (At the very least, we’d have a “cupcake and jello party” . . . c’mon, those are fun.)

Anyway, there are three main reasons why Sgro is a model Network recruiter:

1. He’s “split minded.”  That means split placements are foremost in his mind.  He looks for opportunities to make split placements.  He doesn’t sit back and wait for splits to “come to him.”

2. He networks relentlessly.  Sgro attends nearly every National Convention and Fall Conference.  He also attends numerous Regional Core Group meetings in Ohio and events such as “Top Echelon Networking on the FARM” (referenced below).  The results speak for themselves.

3. He believes in the pillar of Trust.  There are Four Pillars of Top Echelon Network.  The most important of them is Trust, and Sgro has built iron-clad Trading Partner relationships (Maria Hemminger, Bob Small, Angela Marasco) that are typified by this Pillar.

Are there more than three reasons?  Probably, but we could devote entire Pinnacle newsletters to exploring the reasons why recruiters like Sgro are successful in Top Echelon Network.  Besides, the thought of cupcake and jello has become seriously distracting.

David M. Sgro, CPC“What a great team we make with Dave Sgro.  We get the job orders and he finds the candidates.  Thanks, Dave, for being a great Trading Partner.  Even better, we closed the deal and he got the offer accepted form while we were partcipating in the ‘Top Echelon Networking on the FARM’ event.  The day was not all play!”

THE SPLIT RECRUITERS: Kerry Boehner has made 7 placements as one of Top Echelon Network’s top recruiters.  Her agency, KOB Solutions, Inc. has been a Preferred Member since 2010. Recruiter CommentsJudy Kaplan has made 79 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  Her agency, Prof’l Recruiting Consultants, has been a Preferred Member since 1992. Maria Hemminger has made 78 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  Her agency, MJ Recruiters, LLC has been a Preferred Member since 2005. Chris Ramsay, CPC has made 40 placements as a Top Echelon Network recruiter.  Her agency, Corporate Resources, LLC, has been a Preferred Member since 1992. THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS: Nothing makes a compelling case like hard evidence . . . so here’s your hard evidence: two split placements that are the result of recruiters attending Top Echelon Network conferences and meeting one another.  One conference was over eight years ago, and the other was this past spring.  However, the result is the same: placement, placement, placement! Of course, we’re also talking about a powerhouse group of female recruiters, a quartet that has combined to make over 200 Network placements.  Not only that, but two of their firms have been Preferred Member agencies for over 20 years.  All of this is a testament to both their success in the Network and their longevity in the industry. And that success has been predicated, at least in part, on attending conferences and networking with other recruiters!  (There’s something to be said for women’s intuition.) So—what are you waiting for?  Register for the 2013 Fall Conference!

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

Sean Napoles is one of the most successful split recruiters in the history of Top Echelon Network.  Over $1 million cash-in and 183 placements are certainly a testament to that.  However, a further indication of his success is his desire to keep making split placements with recruiters he’s never made split placements with before . . . like the placement listed below.  It doesn’t matter how many placements you’ve made in the Network.  You can ALWAYS make a split with a new recruiter.

Matt DeutschWhat does everybody want these days?

Candidates, that’s what!  More specifically, the right candidates!  Employers want them, your clients want them, and YOU want them?

So what do you do when you don’t have them?  You turn to another split recruiter in Top Echelon Network, like the recruiters below did.  The result?  A Network split that the job order recruiter would not have made otherwise.

How do we know this?  Because as the title to this blog post indicates, the candidate that the other recruiter supplied was the only one submitted by the job order recruiter that their client interviewed.

When you keep striking out on a job order, another split recruiter can provide you with that ONE candidate you need to hit a home run.

So be sure to submit candidates to the Split Candidate Database in Top Echelon Network, and also search the Database for potential matches to your job order.  Because no matter how many times you swing and miss, your next home run could be right around the corner.

Batter up!
