Top Echelon Placements: More Splits and Big Fees

The good times continue to roll in Top Echelon, as Network recruiters again came close to scoring 20 finalized split placements last week.

Network Preferred Members made 17 splits, with many of them generating generous fees. In fact, one of them generated a fee of $43,750!

Joe Pelayo of Joseph Michaels International and Trey Cameron of Cameron Craig Group were responsible for that fee, placing a Payroll Manager at 25%.

Congratulations to Joe and Trey for earning the largest split fee of the week in Top Echelon! (It’s not an official award, so I can’t really capitalize it. My apologies.)

But wait, there’s more! That’s because we have three Network Preferred Members who made their first split placement in Top Echelon:

  1. Eden Shuster of Eden Capital Careers
  2. Tricia Moriarty of Ives & Associates, Inc.
  3. Melissa Uremovich of Alari Search, LLC

As Mel Allen used to say on the television show This Week in Baseball, “How ’bout that!” (And if you know what I’m talking about, then you’re older than dirt . . . just like me!)

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our weekly placements:

  • Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
  • Job title
  • Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
  • Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from May 1 through May 7, 2023.  

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!
