To Whom it May Concern,

As one of two founders of Top Echelon in 1987, I envisioned using our software talents to build the strongest network of employment recruiters in the world. Two of us started Top Echelon in a dingy office located in the basement of a factory. Money was scarce, financial backing was out of the question, and we worked exhaustive hours. After years of what appeared to be insurmountable odds, Top Echelon achieved its initial goal of becoming the strongest, most productive network of recruiters in the world.

Today, there are three Top Echelon companies, and each company specializes in an area that compliments the other two. Top Echelon Network, Inc., facilitates information sharing between thousands of the highest caliber recruiters, job seekers, and employers in the world. Many of these recruiters use Top Echelon Contracting, Inc., as the employer when they place short-term and contracting candidates at their clients’ sites. And, Top Echelon, Inc., is the original software company responsible for developing the software that allows the other two companies to process all of their data. The synergy of our 40+ employees in these three companies places Top Echelon as a very powerful recruitment and employment resource for recruiters, job seekers, and employers alike.

When combining Top Echelon’s resources with the skill and expertise of the nearly 1,500 professional recruiters affiliated with Top Echelon, you have a very powerful recruiting resource to help corporations find the high-caliber talent they desire. And, that’s what it’s all about… helping the best companies locate and hire the very best talent that exists!
