We’re Celebrating Our Birthday with BIG Split Fees

What’s the best way to celebrate your birthday? With cake? Maybe a few presents? A get-together with some friends, both old and new?

Yes, yes, and yes.

But at Top Echelon, if there’s anything that we’ve learned since our inception 35 years ago, it’s that the best way to celebrate a birthday is with split placements!

Actually, allow me to add qualifier to that statement. Ahem . . . the best way to celebrate a birthday is with split placements that have BIG fees attached to them!

And as you can see below, we have such fees in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, which also happens to be the 35th Birthday Edition of the newsletter. Three of the fees are $30K or more and five of them are $25K or more.

Sure, you have to split the fee, but it’s like splitting a big birthday cake down the middle and eating half of it. Including the icing. With no ice cream. It can be filling.

Anyway, congratulations to all of the recruiters below for their recent split placements and for helping us to celebrate 35 years of helping recruiters just like you!

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 February 27 through March 5, 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!
