The Recruiters of the Month in TE for February

Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting and Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing have been battling over Recruiter of the Month honors in TE Network for the past several months.

If Brad doesn’t win the award, Amy wins the award and vice-versa.

Well, for the month of February, Brad held Amy off to win yet another Recruiter of the Month Award. Brad was part of six split placements during the month, earning more than $60K in fees from those placements.

Amy, meanwhile, was part of four Network splits during the month. Her cash-in total for those four splits was more than $55K.

Will Brad be able to claim another Recruiter of the Month Award in March? Or will Amy dethrone him? Or will some other recruiter take first place?

Tune in to find out!

Here is the information that we include with the Recruiter of the Month feature in TE Network:

1. The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
2. The cash-in total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of cash-in dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they’ve made.)
3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
4. The number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career.
5. Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their TE Network career.

With this format, it’s more likely that there will be ties among recruiters, especially with those TE Network members who have made split placements with each other.

Once again, congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every TE Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the month!
