Last week in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, we highlighted Network recruiters Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. and Mario Linale of Atlas Consulting Group, LLC.

Stuck and Linale have been on fire lately (not literally), to the tune of four Network placements in less than five months.  Well, this week we’re highlighting a pair of Network recruiters who have made four placements in a little more than FOUR months.

You might recognize them, since one of the recruiters, Robert Briones, CPC of R.A. Briones & Company, was also featured in last week’s issue of the newsletter.  In fact, his article generated quite a bit of interest, as well as comments by other Network recruiters, so check it out, if you haven’t already.

In the meantime, below are comments submitted by Briones regarding his split partner in these four placements: Sean Napoles, CPC of Career Brokers, Inc.

As for Napoles, he’s rather familiar with the concept of split placements.  After all, he’s made 182 of them in the Network . . .

“Another placement, our third now!  You give Sean the specs, then in a couple of days, he sends the candidate, fully qualified, a summary of why, and dead-on to the job specs!“

Submitted by Robert Briones, CPC of R.A. Briones & Company regarding his split placement with Sean Napoles, CPC of Career Brokers, Inc.

Position Title—PHP Programmer
Fee Percentage—30%

(Editor’s note: This is the THIRD Network split that Briones and Napoles have made together in Top Echelon.)

“Sean has provided consistent and incredible results for several of my jobs.”

(Editor’s note: This is the FOURTH Network split that Briones and Napoles have made together in Top Echelon.)

In this week’s issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, we have irrefutable proof that you can enjoy tremendous success with a Top Echelon Network Trading Partner in a short amount of time.

We’ve highlighted the recruiters in this blog post before.  Those recruiters are Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. and Mario Linale of Atlas Consulting Group, LLC.

They made three straight split placements earlier this year.  While one of those placements fell off, they responded by making two more!  (And that’s why we’re featuring them once again.)

That means they’ve made four split placements in less than five months.  Wouldn’t you like to enjoy that kind of production with ALL of your Trading Partners?

And Stuck and Linale are by no means finished.  There are still almost seven months remaining in 2013.  There’s a chance they could make 10 split placements total this year.

If you’d like to benefit from this type of Trading Partner relationship, call Top Echelon Network Membership Development Coordinator Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS at (330) 455-1433, Ext. 156.

“Mario and I hit another one together.  This is our third completed placement.  We have one more pending and one fell off, so that’s five all together since Mario contacted me only a few months ago to work together.  He is definitely a great Trading Partner.  Thanks for all your help, Mario.  Let’s keep this going!”

Submitted by Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group, Inc. regarding his split placement with Mario Linale of Atlas Consulting Group, LLC

Position Title—SQA ENGINEER
Fee Percentage—15%

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

“This is the fourth official split Mario and I have made together in the last four months, and it would have been number five if it weren’t for a fall-off.  I can’t say enough about what a great Trading Partner Mario is.  He is spectacular to work with.  Thanks again, Mario, for such outstanding candidates.”

Position Title—Software Engineer – Progress
Fee Percentage—15%

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

At the Top Echelon recruiting network, we constantly encourage recruiters to post ALL of their job orders to the Network databases.  That’s because doing so increases the chances that they’ll make more placements and generate more revenue for their firms.

But don’t take it from us: take it from a Top Producer!  That Top Producer is Pamela Ratz DeVille, CPC of the MMS Group in Brentwood, Tenn.

DeVille made seven Network splits in 2011 and four last year.  She’s currently ranked in the top 40 in the Network in terms of overall production during the past 12 months.  (Please, no references to Casey Kasem.)

In addition to posting all of her jobs to Top Echelon Network, Ratz-DeVille also advocates building and nurturing Trading Partner relationships and leveraging the power of the Hiring Hook recruiting websites.

Put all of that together, and Ratz-DeVille has made an investment in her recruitment membership in Top Echelon that has paid dividends in the form of split Network success . . . and continues to pay them.

What have been the keys to your success in Top Echelon Network?

“It has been a combination of finding a few select recruiters who understand my niche and can consistently identify and recommend good candidates and also the Platinum Recruiting sites that consistently re-post my opportunities and are well-connected.”

What value do you believe the Network provides for your firm?

“An opportunity to draw from a much broader pool of candidates and increase the odds of finding the very best.”

Who are the Trading Partners you’ve been working with?

“Trey Cameron, Bob Vogt, Kate Sousa, and a few others.”

Why do the relationships you have with your Trading Partners work so well?

“They have very good resources for reaching candidates and they understand and respect how I like to work with my clients and my partners.”

How would you describe the activity level in your niche?  (Bateman places Sales & Marketing and Retail Management professionals, among others.)

“Managed Care is very, very active right now and should continue to be for the foreseeable future. It is an excellent market but not one that is easy to learn, so I believe it keeps the number of recruiters in this space down.”

What are your goals for future production in the Network?

“I would like to find additional partners to work with and especially recruiters in my niche that have job openings I can provide with excellent candidates.”

What advice would you give to a new Preferred Member recruiter just starting out?

“Post all of your positions on TE!  You never know where you will find your greatest success until you try some things.  Be honest and direct with your partners in providing feedback.”

There are many ways to make placements in Top Echelon Network, and one of those ways is to ask Drea Codispoti for help!

Codipsoti is the Membership Development Coordinator for the Network.  As such, he helps recruiters connect with one another and share hot job orders and candidates.

And sometimes, when Drea tells a Network recruiter to call another Member, those two recruiters eventually make a split placement . . . and that’s the case again in this week’s installment of the Network’s split placements!

• Do you have questions about your Network Membership?
• Do you want to know who to contact about your job orders or candidates?
• Do you want to know how to make more placements?

Then call Drea!  He’ll point you in the right direction and help get you another step closer to making a split in this network.

Last week, we discussed how Hiring Hook recruiting websites are helping Network recruiters make more split placements.

Well, we’re shifting gears this week.  More specifically, our Network recruiters are shifting gears.

That’s because ALL of the Network splits in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog can be attributed to “Regular communication with another Top Echelon Network Preferred Member recruiter.”

That pertains to the first split placement on our list, which involved something as simple as a Network recruiter responding to a job they saw in Top Echelon’s Split Databases.  That Network recruiter responded to the job with a great candidate, that candidate was interviewed, that candidate received an offer, that candidate accepted the offer, and the two recruiters involved scored a split fee!

That’s split recruiting at its finest: “Great candidate and a quick placement!”

So let’s all shift gears again and make even MORE placements, shall we?  (After all, Fast & Furious 6 opens in movie theaters nationwide this week.  It only makes sense.)

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

• Production Development Engineer
  
• Software Engineer – Progress
  
• SAP Business Analyst
  
• Statistical Analyst
  
• Systems Developer (.NET Developer)

Way back in the day, it used to be that only a few Network recruiters made placements with their websites.  They were the “trailblazers,” so to speak, those who recognized the value that a website could bring to their recruiting firm.

Now, everybody’s making website placements!

Okay, not everybody . . . that’s a caffeine-fueled exaggeration.  However, more Network recruiters are making them now with the help of the Hiring Hook Job Board, which allows them to post their jobs to their website (and also to other Network recruiters’ websites).

The result?  More placements and more money, with over half of the placements listed below resulting from one of the Hiring Hook websites for recruiters.

We keep banging this drum, and that’s because recruiters are making more top placements with their website, and they’re making them more frequently.  Sounds like a good reason to bang the drum to us!

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

• Nurse Manager
• Product Design/Development Engineer
• Physician Assistant
• Director, Distribution Operations
  
• Quality Engineer Mechanical Design
• Turbine Engineer
  
• Account Executive
  
• ERP System Implementation Manager
  

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