Top 10 TE Recruitment Fees of the First Quarter

We once again have the top 10 recruitment fees of the quarter, all made by Top Echelon Network members!

However, there are more than just numbers here. Granted, these are some pretty big numbers, as they usually are when we publish the top recruitment fees of the quarter. However, that’s just scratching the surface. We’re going to go beneath the surface.

Recruitment fees to please

Let’s explore some of the stories behind the numbers, shall we? They include the following:

• Last week, we publicized the split placement between Greg Fisher of Odell Medical Search and Brian McMahon of Brian McMahon & Associates. The reason? Greg is a newer member and the two split a $40K fee because of the TE Alerts. And now that split represents the biggest fee of the first quarter!

• Also Last week, we gave kudos to Nick Stoia, CPC of ASAP Search & Recruiters for being a 40-year recruiting veteran and 20-year member of the Network. This week, we give kudos to Nick for being part of the sixth-largest fee of the quarter.

• Once again last week, we also lauded KB Search Team, LLC as being a powerhouse TE recruiting agency. As luck (and hard work) would have it, a member of that agency, Amber Schleinkofer, was part of the seventh-largest fee of the quarter.

• A pair of Network members are in the top 10 twice for making split placements with each other. Those recruiters are Jim Folger of One Source Technical, Inc. and Russell Schutt of Progressive Executive, Inc. The duo notched both fifth place and 10th place. More importantly, though, they made placements with fees totaling $61,500.

So there you have it: the top 10 recruitment fees in Top Echelon Network for the first quarter. Plenty of numbers, lots of stories, and a ton of cash. Really, would you have it any other way?

Congratulations to everybody who scored big fees in Top Echelon’s split network during the first quarter of 2019!
