How Team Recruitment Works in Top Echelon
One recruiter has the job order, while another recruiter supplies the candidate.
The recruiter with the job order is typically referred to as the “importer”—as in the “importer of candidates” from other Network members. The recruiter supplying the candidate is typically referred to as the “exporter”—as in “exporter of candidates.”
Once the importer places the candidate supplied to them by the exporter and receives a fee from their client, a completed split placement has occurred. As per the split placement agreement, the job order recruiter then sends the candidate recruiter their portion of the placement fee.
With every Top Echelon split placement, both recruiters involved also owe a 3% brokerage fee to the Network — 3% from each recruiter equals 6% total. This means both recruiters receive 47% of the placement fee.

“When I joined the Network, I made the decision that I was going to put significant effort into it and it was going to be an important part of what I did. If you do something, do it right and commit to it. If I can do that, there’s no reason why other people can’t.”
