SURVEY QUESTION:

Networking is one of the cornerstones of success in Top Echelon Network, and face-to-face networking is even more so.  That’s why we hold a National Convention and a Fall Conference every year.

However, approximately how many Network recruiters meet each other on a face-to-face basis?

We recently conducted a survey of Network Members to find out the answer.

That survey was based upon the following question:

Have you met another Network recruiter face-to-face in the past year?

SURVEY RESULTS:

The choice of answers that were provided is listed below, along with the percentage of Network recruiters who selected each answer:

• Yes, I have. — 72.7%
• No, I have not. — 27.3%

SURVEY ANALYSIS:

As expected, the majority of survey participants responded in the affirmative, as 72.7% chose “Yes, I have” as their answer.  The rest of the participants, of course, selected “No, I have not.”

Meeting another Network recruiter in person helps to ‘seal the deal,’ so to speak, on your Trading Partner relationship.  It makes it easier to call them when you get back to the office, to share information, and to trust them implicitly.

And you have a chance to meet other Network recruiters face-to-face in the near future: the 2013 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference!  The conference is scheduled for Thursday, October 3, and Friday, October 4, in Chicago. (We’ll be releasing more details in the near future.)

FEEDBACK:

Have you met another Network recruiter face-to-face in the past year?  If you have, what benefits did you derive from the meeting?  If not, why not, and do you plan to meet another Network recruiter before the end of 2013?

SURVEY QUESTION:

Much of the success recruiters enjoy in Top Echelon Network is predicated upon Members’ willingness to share their jobs with the rest of the Network.  The more jobs are shared, the more split placements are made.

We recently conducted a survey of Network recruiters in the Members’ Area to find out more about their attitudes about sharing jobs with other Members.

That survey was based upon the following question:

When you receive a job order from a client, how soon do you post it on TE?

SURVEY RESULTS:

The choice of answers that were provided is listed below, along with the percentage of Network recruiters who selected each answer:

• Immediately — 35.6%
• Within a few days — 26.0%
• Within a week — 13.7%
• Longer than a week — 15.1%
• I don’t post my jobs on TE. — 9.6%

SURVEY ANALYSIS:

Over a third of participants post their jobs “immediately” to the Network, while another 26% post them “within a few days” and 13.7% post them “within a week.”

That means of the Network recruiters who responded to this survey, over three-fourths of them (75.3%) post their jobs within a week of receiving the job order from their client.

As for the nearly 10% of Network recruiters who don’t post their jobs on TE?  They might be exporters only, or they might share their jobs only with certain Trading Partners via email.

FEEDBACK:

What are your practices within the Network?  Which of the survey choices above most closely describes the way in which you post jobs?
