When recruiters exchange information, specifically job orders and candidates, it leads to split placements. Top Echelon Network® is the leading split placement network of recruiters. Since 1988, Top Echelon has been helping recruiters exchange information for the purpose of making split placements, thus expanding the resources and capabilities of each firm.

When the Network first started, it was called Nationwide Interchange Service (NIS). With the advent of the Internet, NIS created an online service for its recruiters by the name of the Recruiter's EXchangeTM, or REX for short. In January of 2000, the name Recruiter's EXchangeTM was dropped in favor of the Member's Area. By that time, Nationwide Interchange Service had already undergone a name change of its own, switching to Top Echelon Network.

The services of Top Echelon Network include the following:

  • Split placement opportunities

  • Full-fee placement opportunities

  • Job order posting to the Internet

  • Web site tools and services

  • Automated search agents

  • Candidate/job order email alerts

  • Training, conventions, and newsletters
However, when recruiters exchange information, they do more than just make split placements. They also build and cultivate trust with one another, which leads to more business in the future. Trust is one of the Four Pillars of Top Echelon Network. The other three are Quality, Communication, and Active Participation. By engaging in each of these Four Pillars on a consistent basis, recruiters greatly increase their chances of enjoying success within the Network.

Exchanging job orders and candidates is a good idea in any market. If you'd like to make split placements a part of your business model, Top Echelon Network can help.
