Yes, we like our pop culture tie-ins here at Top Echelon Network, so let’s discuss the recent movie Oz the Great and Powerful.

That movie, of course, is tied to the 1939 original, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  One of the great lines from that original film was, “Lions and tigers and bears . . . oh, my!”

Well, we don’t have any lions, tigers, or bears in the Network.  (And no snakes, either.  Drea Codispoti runs those over with his Preferred Membership Lawnmower.)

No, what we have instead, at least this week, are “Engineers and supervisors and analysts . . . oh, my!”  No, these aren’t potentially dangerous people (as far as we know).  They represent a sampling of the positions that were filled this past week by Preferred Member recruiters in Top Echelon Network.

The complete list for this week is below:

• SAP Business Analyst
  
• Business Consultant
  
• Senior Mechanical Engineer
  
• Construction Project Manager
  
• Supervisor
• Warehouse Supervisor
  
• Reliability Engineer
• Treasury Analyst

Are you looking to fill positions just like these?  Do you work with candidates who have these titles?  Then YOU can make placements in Top Echelon Network.

There are many formulas for the success within Top Echelon Network, and of course, that success is ultimately measured in placements, specifically split placements.

Well, we have yet another formula in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, and that formula deals with what candidates recruiters (exporters) can do to ensure greater levels of Network success.  The formula in question is illustrated perfectly in this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments.”

That’s because this installment features two recruiters who compliment their Trading Partners for properly screening and qualifying their candidates before presenting them for consideration.  The time that the candidate recruiters took up front to do so moved the process forward more quickly and resulted in a placement!  So, that means:

Screen and Qualify the Candidate = Make the Placement

It’s a tried-and-true formula that, as you can see, continues to work and work well for Preferred Member recruiters.

We’ll be publishing more “formulas for success” in future issues of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, but in the meantime, if you’d like to compliment one of your Trading Partners for a recent split placement, send your comments to marketing@topechelon.com.

When Preferred Members make split placements with other recruiters in Top Echelon Network, they don’t just want to compliment them.  They want to thank them, as well!

Why do they have such an “attitude of gratitude”?  The reason: because they probably wouldn’t have made the placement at all without the help of the other recruiter.  Sure, there’s an outside chance they might have filled the position, but they know that in reality, the chance was slim.

In this week’s installment of “Comments and Compliments,” not only do we have two split placements that generated an abundance of gratitude, but we also have two that represent the first Network split that these recruiters made with one another.

It’s almost like a “bonus on top of a bonus, wrapped in a bonus” . . . and that’s certainly something for which to be thankful!

Remember, if you’d like to compliment—and thank—one of your Trading Partners for a recent split placement, send your comments to marketing@topechelon.com, and they could appear in a future issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog.

“Thanks, Megan, for such a GREAT candidate!  Our client had interviewed a number of new grads for their Chemical Engineering position, but with little success.  [This candidate] will be put on a fast track with our client.  They were so impressed with her.  Also, I think that this may be the first time I have placed a new grad . . . so thank you!”

Top Echelon Network Preferred Member recruiter Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group “disappeared” for a while . . . but now he’s back.

More often than not, Cameron won The Recruiter of the Month Award last year.  Recently, though, other Preferred Members have laid claim to that honor.  Until now, that is.  That’s because Cameron is the Recruiter of the Month for February of 2013.

Not only that, but Cameron was also part of the Largest Split Placement Fee of the Month.  That placement (and its corresponding fee) was largely responsible for pushing Cameron to the top of the Network heap in February.

Cameron, who was the Recruiter of the Year in the Network in 2012, is off to another fast start in 2013.  Can he win that award for the third straight year?  Stay tuned to find out!

As always, we recognize recruiters for both monthly and quarterly performance in four categories—“Recruiter of the Month,” “Recruiter of the Quarter,” “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Month,” and “Highest Split Placement Fee of the Quarter.”

For more information about the placements and cash-in totals associated with these awards, please login to the Members’ Area and view the profiles and placement details of the recruiters involved.

Recruiter of the Month
Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group

Cameron was one of a handful of recruiters who made two split placements in the Network during the month of February.  However, his overall cash-in total for those two placements was larger than anybody else’s total, earning him first place.

Other Preferred Member recruiters who made two placements during the month were Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC; David Wick of Career Center of Cincinnati, Inc.; Jeff Ploeger of Ploeger Recruiting Services; and Suzanne Griffith, CPC of J S Griffith & Associates.

Largest Split Placement Fee of the Month
Pamela Ratz Deville, CPC of Managed Medicaid Servicves and Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group

The position for this placement was a VP of Finance.  Ratz DeVille was the job order recruiter, and Cameron was the candidate recruiter.  The action that stimulated this split placement was listed as “The job seeker or client was found through my Hiring Hook website.”

Our criteria for these awards:

Top Echelon Network is a split placement network.  As such, we place an emphasis on split placements, and that emphasis constitutes a large part of our criteria for these awards.  We determine the monthly and quarterly award winners based upon two things, which are listed below in order of importance:

1.) The number of split placements made
2.) The amount of cash-in dollars earned as a result of those split placements
