The Recruiters of the Month in TE Network for May

April showers bring May . . . placements?

Sure, why not? Usually, April showers bring May flowers, but who wants flowers? You can’t pay your mortgage with flowers. (I’ve already tried. The bank refused.)

As you can see below, April showers also brought us the top five recruiters in TE Network for the month of May. As has been the case in the majority of months over the past year, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting claimed the top spot in May. Brad was part of 12 split placements during the month, and those 12 splits brought him a cash-in total of nearly $118K.

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!
