The Largest Split Fees of the Month for April

Not only did Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting win the Recruiter of the Month Award for April, but he was also part of the Largest Split Fee of the Month?

Brad and Edward Duff of RCD Group placed a Heavy Civil Project Manager, and that placement was finalized in April. The duo then split a placement fee of $40,625 for their collective efforts, and that represented the biggest split placement fee of the month.

Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, who finished second in the Recruiter of the Month standings for April, had a strong showing in terms of the largest split fees of the month. As you can see below, she shared three of the top five recruiting fees in April.

Below are our other winners for the month. Johnny, tell them what they’ve won . . .

As a friendly reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its TE Network split fee recruiting awards in four distinct categories:

1.) Recruiter of the Month
2.) Largest Split Fee of the Month
3.) Recruiter of the Quarter
4.) Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

We only announce the winners of these awards in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We do so usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

So congratulations to everybody on the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!
