The Top TE Network Recruiters for December

We have the top recruiters in TE Network for December, the final month of 2025!

And as was often the case last year, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting was the Recruiter of the Month for December. That’s because Brad was part of 11 split placements during the month, and his cash-in total for those 11 splits was $98,426.

Close on Brad’s heels was Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing. Amy was part of five TE Network split placements, and those five splits brought her $91,062. As you can see, it was one of the closest races for the Recruiter of the Month award during all of 2025!

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!
