Top TE Network Recruiters of the Second Quarter

While TE Network recruiter Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing claimed Recruiter of the Month honors in June, beating perennial winner Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting for the top spot, Brad did exact a measure of revenge.

He did so by winning the Recruiter of the Quarter Award in the Network for the second quarter of 2026!

Brad was part of a whopping 29 split placements in the second quarter, and those splits contributed to his cash-in total of nearly $275K during that time span. Amy, on other hand, accounted for eight split placements and a cash-in total of almost $158K.

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 number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career
  5. 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!
