Two Heads + One Job Order = Placement Success

by Matthew Deutsch on 04.27.2012

They say it takes a village to raise a child. That may be true, but that’s only relevant insofar as sometimes it takes two recruiters to fill a job order. (The connection? There really is none. But stay with me.)

'Comments' and Compliments Take, for example, the Top Echelon Network Preferred Member recruiters being highlighted in this week’s installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments.” They worked together to fill a job order and make a placement, and as a result, they split a placement fee.

Here’s the kicker: without the efforts of BOTH recruiters during the placement process, the deal may never have happened. The position would have stayed open, and if it was filled, it might possibly have been filled with some other candidate from some other recruiter.

Now that would have been a travesty. That’s why it’s easy to see that two heads + one job order = placement success.

It’s been proven time and time again in the Network, and it will be proven again in the future. Enlisting the expertise, experience, and resources of another recruiter in your niche will greatly increase your chances of filling more of your clients’ job orders—and of course, making more placements.

If you’d like to thank another recruiter for their efforts in a split placement situation, send your information to marketing@topechelon.com. Your comments might be included in an upcoming issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog!
