The Top Network Recruiters of the Third Quarter

Last week, we announced the Recruiters of the Month in TE Network. So you know what that means . . .

This week, we’re announcing the Recruiters of the Quarter in the Network!

It should come as no surprise that perennial top producer Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting claimed the top spot for the third quarter. Brad was part of 18 split placements in TE Network during the quarter. Those splits brought him a cash-in total of more than $120K.

Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc. also topped $100K for the quarter. Steve made 12 split placements, accumulating a cash-in total of $104,742 in the process.

So while times might be tough in the job market overall and the recruiting profession specifically, there is still money to be made in split placements.

Let’s make the fourth quarter the best that it can be and get ready for a prosperous 2026!

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!
