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:

  • Recent PlacementsSoftware 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.

Since it’s baseball season, it’s only appropriate that we talk about the “Cal Ripken, Jr.” of Top Echelon Network.

Ripken played his entire Major League Baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles, setting the league record for most consecutive games played at 2,632.  Now that’s consistency.

Recent PlacementsSean Napoles, CPC of Career Brokers, Inc. has also maintained an incredibly high level of consistency in the Network during the past 10 years, winning numerous awards in the process.  To date, Napoles has made 176 Network placements for a cash-in total of over $1.5 million.

Of those 176 split placements, he’s made 16 of them with Wendy Johnson of CPS and Professionals Incorporated, including one in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.  As one might suspect, Napoles has made multiple placements with numerous Network recruiters down through the years.

Napoles’s split placement with Johnson is one of two that he has in this week’s issue, and it’s also one of seven that he’s made already in the Network in 2013.  If anybody’s going to catch Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group before the end of the year, it’s going to be the “Cal Ripken, Jr.” of Top Echelon Network.

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

  • Recent PlacementsIT Project Manager
  • SAP Bi Dev
  • Manager of Product Automation
  • Operations Manager – Industrial Manufacturing
  • RN/Director of Clinical Services – Hospice
  • Software Engineer – Progress (two of them!)

These days, if you have the candidates, you’ll make the placements . . . and that statement pertains to Top Echelon Network, as well.

'Comments' and ComplimentsLet’s face it: within some industries and some niches (the majority of them, perhaps), superstar candidates are difficult to find—and superstar candidates are who your clients want.  If they’re going to make the leap of hiring a full-time employee, they want that candidate to be as close to perfect as they can possibly be.

Which, of course, means that you have to find candidates who are as close to perfect as they can possibly be.  The recruiters below were tasked with doing just that, and they turned to other recruiters in the Network for help.

They got the near-perfect candidate they were searching for, they presented that candidate to their client, their client made an offer to the candidate, the candidate accepted it, and now the recruiters involved are splitting a big placement fee.

And they lived happily ever after . . .

But split placements are no fairy tale. Quite the contrary: they’re real, and they’re alive and well in Top Echelon Network.

Now share every candidate you have with the rest of the Network.  There are more placements to be made!

If you’d like to compliment a Trading Partner for providing you with a near-perfect candidate for your client’s job order, then submit your comments with your Completed Placement Form or send them to marketing@topechelon.com.  The end.

What would The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog be without a pop culture reference?  And this week, we’re referencing that classic game show The Price is Right, which rewarded contestants for correctly guessing the price of products (or at least for coming the closest).

But for us, it’s not “Come on down, you’re the next contestant on The Price is Right!”

It’s “Come on, Downs!”  Why?  Because Network recruiter Greg Downs of Downs Associates has two split placements in the newsletter this week.

Downs joined the Network in 2008.  He’s made 20 placements as a Preferred Member of the Top Echelon recruiters network, including five in 2012 and three already in 2013.  Downs works primarily in Environmental Health & Safety, as well as in Engineering and Manufacturing.

So yes, winning a “Showcase Showdown” would be nice.  However, nothing compares to making two placements in a row.

So that means . . . the placement’s right!

While you mull that over, below are the positions that were recently filled by Top Echelon Network recruiters:

  • Recent PlacementsEHS Manager (two of them!)
  • Casting Furnance Engineer
  • Process Engineer
  • Multicultural Marketing
  • Operations Manager
  • Process/Project Engineer

It’s all about the candidates, isn’t it?

Your clients want the right candidates, so YOU want the right candidates, so you look for the right candidates, because that’s what you do.

'Comments' and ComplimentsBut sometimes, they’re just more difficult to find . . . and that’s why you rely upon the resources of other Top Echelon Network recruiters.  Because when you rely on their resources, they provide you with the candidates you’re looking for (and more importantly, the candidates your clients are looking for.)

The result is a filled position and a placement fee—a split placement fee, to be more precise.

The Network recruiters below relied upon one another, and that’s why they’re sharing a placement fee, as well as the spotlight in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.

If you’d like to be in the Pinnacle spotlight (along with a Trading Partner, of course), then submit your comments with your Completed Placement Form or send them to marketing@topechelon.com.

Question: What’s the quickest way to get special mention in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog?

Answer: Make two (or more placements) in one week.

Of course to do that, you just have to send us the checks for two split placements at the same time . . . just like Network recruiter Amy Dunn of Technology Recruiting Solutions in Houston, Texas did recently!

That’s why we’re highlighting Dunn, one of the top recruiters who has made 24 split placements during her time as a Preferred Member recruiter in Top Echelon Network.  That total includes five placements in 2011 and six placements in 2012.

Dunn specializes in the permanent placement of Information Technology, Accounting/Finance, Human Resources, and occasional Sales and Marketing professionals nationwide.  Be sure to visit her Recruiter Profile for more information.

After you do that, we invite you to check out all of the positions that were recently filled through the joint effort of Top Echelon Network recruiters:

  • Recent PlacementsBusiness Analyst – Financial Systems
  • Senior .NET Developer

There’s no worse feeling than not being able to find the candidates that your client wants you to find.

Okay, I admit—I’m exaggerating for effect.  There IS probably a worse feeling than that.

'Comments' and ComplimentsBut when you’re in the midst of striking out and you feel like a zero, the feeling is not good.  Now imagine if the perfect candidate was delivered to you, seemingly out of nowhere.  What would you feel like now?

You’d probably feel like dancing.

That’s the feeling you get when you work with another Top Echelon recruiter network member who gives you exactly what you need.  You turn around, you give that to your client, you make a placement you would NOT have made otherwise, you do a little dance, and you look (and feel) like a hero.

In a nutshell, that’s what this installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments” is all about.  And to top it all off, the split fee recruiting placements below represent the first split placements that the recruiters involved have made with one another.  Everybody dance!

Every month, every quarter, and every year, more and more Top Echelon Network recruiters make placements with their Hiring Hook recruitment website development.

That’s because they have access to the Network Jobs Feed and that allows them to post other Network recruiters’ jobs on their website.  Then, qualified candidates visit their site, see the job openings, and apply for them.

In 2012, 13.5% of all placements made in Top Echelon Network were because of a Hiring Hook website.  That’s the highest percentage of website placements in the Network . . . like, ever.

And that’s not a trend that’s likely to reverse itself anytime soon.  More and more people search for jobs online and apply for jobs online.  If you haven’t optimized your firm’s online presence with a Hiring Hook website, you could be missing out on placement opportunities.

So contact us today to find out more about what Hiring Hook can do for you and your firm.  In the meanwhile, below are the positions that were recently filled by Top Echelon Network recruiters (some with the help of their Hiring Hook website):

  • Recent PlacementsProcurement Specialist
  • Material Scheduler
  • Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer
  • Manager, Accounts Payable
  • Sales Manager

If you’re a new Preferred Member in Top Echelon Network and you want to find out how to enjoy quick success, then you would do well to read the story of Mario Linale of Atlas Consulting Group, LLC.

We recently chronicled how Linale made three split placements within six months of joining the Network, all three with fellow Preferred Member recruiter Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc.

'Comments' and Compliments ExtraIn that blog post, Stuck commented on those placements, and more specifically, about the various aspects of his Trading Partner relationship with Linale that work so well.  In this blog post, Linale describes those some aspects and also presents a blueprint for new Network recruiters to follow.

As for those recruiters who have been in the Network for quite some time, this story also serves as an example of how new Preferred Members can turn into great Trading Partners.  A year ago, you didn’t even know who they were, and now you’re making money with them.

And that’s the value that a split placement network like Top Echelon offers to recruiters.

— — —

Michael StuckMario Linale“My firm, Atlas Consulting Group, LLC is a new member of Top Echelon. We have really enjoyed our tenure so far and a large part of it is due to our interaction and successful partnership with Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group.

“This has been such a successful partnership primarily because of Michael’s professionalism and competency in managing his clients. We have functioned in a recruiting/sourcing capacity for positions with Michael’s clients. I can firmly state that when we work on a position for one of Michael’s clients, we know that we will always get feedback, usually an interview request and that the offers will come!  His positions are never the proverbial ‘black hole’ that unfortunately sometimes occurs in our industry, especially when partnering with other firms. We know that our work for Gables will never be a waste of time.

“Another factor in our success has been our constant communication. We are both on the same page when it comes to communicating the changing details of his positions and our candidates and we update each other in real time. I believe we are both truly passionate about our businesses, our reputations and getting deals done!

“Michael goes a step beyond also in his role of managing his clients and their positions, often he will also get involved in managing and communicating with our candidates. He always does what is appropriate in this regard and will not ‘step on our toes,’ but only help when necessary.

“We look forward to a long standing relationship with Michael Stuck, Gables Search Group and also working with other members of Top Echelon.”

At Top Echelon, we love it when recruiters enjoy quick success in the Network (usually defined by making a split placement with the first six to 12 months).

'Comments' and Compliments ExtraBut what if a recruiter made three split placements in their first six months?  And what if they made those three placements with the same Trading Partner, somebody with who they work extremely well?

That’s the case in this installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments Extra.”  Mario Linale of Atlas Consulting Group, LLC joined Top Echelon Network as a Preferred Member recruiter in October of 2012, and he promptly hit the ground running, with some help from Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc.

As a result, Linale has already received a tremendous return on this Network investment . . . and he’s only been a Preferred Member recruiter for six months.

That’s why there is no double that this is the beginning of a great split partner relationship!

(Below are Stuck’s thoughts regarding his Trading Partner relationship with Linale.  Click here for Linale’s comments.)

>Michael StuckMario Linale“This should have been my second placement with Mario.  Our first one was a fall-off three days before the guy was supposed to start.  It’s nice to get this second one so quickly to make up for losing the first one.  This is Mario’s first placement in TE, and he just joined the Network back in October.  What an ultimate pro you are, Mario, and a welcome addition to the Network.  We have a lot of other candidates in the works, so it’s only a matter of time before we get another one.  Great working with you!”
