The Top 10 TE Recruiters of the First Quarter

Show of hands, who here can believe that the first quarter of 2025 is gone?

Anybody? Anybody?

Well, neither can we. However, we do have some good news, and that good news takes the form of the Recruiters of the Quarter in TE Network!

As you can see below, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting earned another Recruiter of the Quarter Award. And also as you can see below, we have the top 10 TE recruiters from the first quarter.

And now that the second quarter is underway, so is the race for the Recruiter of the Quarter Award for the second quarter of 2025. On your marks . . . get set . . . go!

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Quarter feature in TE Network:

1. The top 10 recruiters for the quarter
2. The “cash-in” total for each recruiter during the quarter. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the quarter.)
3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the quarter
4. The date that each recruiter’s agency joined TE Network
5. The number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career
6. Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their TE Network career

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