[A note from the editor: We’ve often highlighted the successes of our customers over on the Pinnacle, our blog for Top Echelon Network members. But now, we’ve decided to run a case study series on our public Recruiter Training blog, too. Our hope is that these recruiter’s stories will give you inspiration for your own success! If you’d like to be featured in this series, please contact us.]
Recruiter David Kersey of Kersey & Associates, Inc. has achieved quite a lot during his more than 35 years in the profession, and he was recognized recently for his accomplishments within Top Echelon Network.
On March 6, Kersey celebrated his 24th year as a member of the Network. On February 8, Top Echelon published the “Top 25 Recruiters in the History of Top Echelon,” and Kersey was included on that list. As of the publication date of that blog post, he was ranked #22 with a total of 109 placements. Less than 40 recruiters in the 28-year history of Top Echelon Network have made 100 or more placements.
Kersey has been a consistent producer throughout his tenure in the Network. “David Kersey is a consummate Network member,” said Top Echelon President Mark Demaree. “He believes in the value of split placements, he makes an effort to network with other recruiters, he provides an excellent trading partner experience, and he’s been a proven businessman for years. We fully appreciate the commitment that David has made to the Network, and we also appreciate his high standard of professionalism. It’s a pleasure to congratulate him on his many achievements, both in our network and also during his recruiting career.”
Kersey & Associates specializes in placing candidates in the financial and manufacturing areas, from entry-level programmers to the CIO suite. During his tenure in Top Echelon Network, he has made split placements with scores of other members. Kersey has enjoyed success in the Network for many reasons, but he has stood out from other recruiters because of his willingness to do the following things:
- Attend networking events like conferences and conventions
- Praise trading partners publicly for their help and assistance during deals
- Continuously seek out new trading partners
Kersey & Associates, Inc. is located in Brevard, North Carolina, and Kersey has been very active in the state during his professional career.
