TE Recruiters Bake Another Dozen Placements

Summer is nearly here, and what better way to celebrate the upcoming season than by making split placements with big recruiting fees attached to them?

There is NO better way, if you ask us! (And luckily for us, we were asking us.)

And you should also ask Network members Nick Stoia of ASAP Search and Steve Schanz of CPS Recruitment. That’s because Nick and Steve accounted for the largest split fee of the week in Top Echelon. They placed a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to earn a placement fee of $54K at 30%!

Congratulations are also in order for Brandon Gee of Soap Creek Resources. That’s because Brandon recently made his first split placement as a member of Top Echelon Network!

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

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

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from June 12 through June 18, 2023.  

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

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!
