The Players:

• Mary Anne Buckley, CPC of Interstate Recruiters Corp
• Stephanie McGinty of Ives & Associates, Inc.

The Money:

Buckley and McGinty have made four split placements in the past four years, ALL of them with considerably high fees attached to them.  (Login to the Members’ Area and check out their Recruiter Profiles to see the exact dollar amounts of those fees.)

The Sizzle:

Mary Anne Buckley, CPC

“Stephanie is an excellent communicator and wonderful to deal with. She has a strong foundation in pharmaceutical recruiting and is always willing to tag team and brainstorm with me to improve how we deal with candidates and clients. Stephanie has become a go to resource when I have difficult to fill scientific positions. She spends the time with her candidates, the same as I would, and I know that anyone she puts forward to me, is vetted to the same degree as if I have done it myself. I look forward to doing many more split placements with her!”

—Buckley

Stephanie McGinty

“Working with Mary Anne, albeit cross country is simply fun and smooth!  It’s as if she is in my office. She and I have an intuitive sense about what the other needs. Our thoughts and practices are simply on the same page and she makes my job more fun!  I love working with her and wish she were in Ohio.”

—McGinty

The Players:

• Juli Smith of The Smith Consulting Group, LLC in Jackson, Mich.
• Chris Burchell of Recruiting Excellence in Raleigh, N.C.

The Money:

Since April of last year, Smith and Burchell have made four split placements together in the Healthcare IT industry.

The Sizzle:

“In late 2009, we switched recruiting disciplines from Civil Engineering to Healthcare IT.  I reached out to everyone in the Network who was working in our new discipline of Healthcare IT, and Chris Burchell was one of the people I called.  We made our first split about four months after we first spoke.

“Chris is enthusiastic, very open, and very trustworthy.  We communicate on a weekly basis and some weeks on a daily basis about our hot candidates, as well as the jobs we have that are hot.  In February, we both realized that we would be attending the HIMSS Conference in Orlando, so it was really nice to meet him in person and put the face with the voice.  He has become a very important extension of our team and one of our best teaming partners.  I love his sense of humor, too.  He’s been great to work with!”

—Juli Smith

“Working with The Smith Group over the past year and a half has been a terrific experience.  We have made numerous placements together over that time, and much of it is due to our constant communication with one another.  Our relationship developed pretty quickly, as we happened to be entering a new vertical at roughly the same time.  Instead of looking at ourselves as separate agencies, we chose to pool our resources, industry knowledge, and of course, candidates and job orders.  This enabled us to leverage our knowledge capital and ‘get a feel’ for each other and how we work.

“Today, we are so close that we’re on [instant messenger] together, and constantly provide candidate/job order updates, along with random ‘digs’ every now and then.  I even had the pleasure of meeting Juli at the 2011 HIMSS meeting in February, and she looks a lot younger in person (yes, that would be one of those ‘digs’).  My business is better because of our relationship, but I have also been fortunate enough to make some good friends.”
