Another month in Top Echelon Network means another month of anniversaries and Network recruiting agencies that we’d like to honor for their longevity!

And there are some very successful recruiting firms and individual recruiters included in our acknowledgement of anniversaries this month.  Some of the recruiters listed below have made quite a few placements and a LOT of money through Top Echelon Network, and we are certainly glad that we’ve been able to contribute to the success of their firms.

As we’ve stated, we don’t recognize every agency that’s celebrating an anniversary.  Instead, we focus on the “big” ones—five, 10, 15, 20, and 25-year anniversaries.

This month, we have two Network recruiting agencies celebrating their 20-year anniversary and three more Network recruiting agencies that are celebrating their 10-year anniversary.

Not only that, but the recruiters in the agencies listed below have combined to make 387 placements as Preferred Members in Top Echelon Network!

RECRUITER OF THE QUARTER: 

Trey Cameron

Trey Cameron of the Cameron Craig Group

Yes, Trey Cameron made 19 split placements in Top Echelon Network during the second quarter of 2014.  However, it’s not even the first time he’s made 19 splits in a single quarter!  He also accomplished the feat during the third quarter of 2013.

Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search was second with nine splits, and three recruiters followed him with five split placements apiece.  They were Bob Small of Carroll Technology Services, Inc.; Joan R. Walters, CPC of JR Walters Resources; and David M. Sgro, CPC of True North Consultants, Inc.

OUR CRITERIA FOR THESE RECRUITER AWARDS:

Top Echelon Network determines the monthly and quarterly recruiter 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

This explains why, when multiple recruiters are tied with the same number of split placements during a given month or quarter, the recruiter with the largest “cash-in” total for their placements is deemed the winner.

THE SPLIT PLACEMENTS:

Companies—and by extension—recruiters are ceaselessly looking for superstar candidates, those with rare skills and hard-to-find expertise.

And you can find those types of candidates in Top Echelon Network!

The proof can be found in this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments,” where a split placement was made and one Network recruiter lauded another for providing a “needle in a haystack” candidate.

In addition, another Network recruiter praised their Trading Partner for their fourth split placement.  This once again proves that when two recruiters make one split together, it increases the chances that they’ll make more.

And that they’ll fill their clients’ open positions with “needle in a haystack” candidates!

Congratulations to everybody who made split placements this week!
