TE Network Members Welcome Fall with Splits

As you probably know by now, summer is over. If you didn’t, then this information might be a shock to the system.

But never fear, because TE Network recruiters ushered in the autumn season with split placements! And as you can see below, some of those splits commanded impressive recruiting fees. Those fees include the following:

• $31,850
• $43,750
• $28,750
• $44,000
• $40,000
• $31,000

In addition, we have a few recruiters who recently made their first split placements as members of TE Network. Leading the way is Derek Hilbert of Kingfisher Recruiting, who made his first two Network splits, one with Clint Martz of A to Z Search Group and the other with Sarah Katz of First Search, Inc.

Meanwhile, Loren Robertson of Mosaic Partners and Rhonda Tisko of Acloche Direct Hire also accounted for their first TE Network split placements. Loren made her split with Christina Boudreaux of Connectly Recruiting, while Rhonda teamed up with Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting.

So while summer might be gone (at least for now), there’s nothing better than consoling oneself with pumpkin spice products and TE Network split placements . . . especially when the fees associated with those placements can help you buy more pumpkin spice products.

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our placements:

• Names of the trading partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
• Job title
• Overall placement fee (before TE Network’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
• Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in TE Network for the period from September 15 through September 28, 2025.

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your split placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Once again, congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in TE Network!
