Year in Review: Split Placements Up in 2019

by Sarah Freiburger

NPAworldwide is a global network of independently-owned, professional recruiting firms working together to increase revenue through split fee placements. The network enables members to better serve their clients through extended geographic reach and greater access to industry specialization. In the process, NPAworldwide members benefit from increased production and a stronger competitive position.

Not only did the number of NPAworldwide member firms grow immensely in 2019, the number of split fee placements made by members also drastically increased, with total member revenue reaching 7 million dollars!  Split placement activity occurred around the world with North America leading the network in deals. The following information highlights key 2019 results:

  • Placements of positions with US$100,000 and above salaries were 35% of total split fee placements
  • Placements of positions with US$70,000 and above salaries were 59% of total split fee placements

Top 5 Practice Groups based on number of split fee placements, listed high to low. Click here  to view industries/niches included in these Practice Groups.

  • Engineering/Operations/Manufacturing
  • Technology
  • Sales / Marketing / Business Development
  • Accounting / Financial Services
  • Chemical Process

It’s not even the end of the year yet and our members are sharing jobs and placing candidates with one another at a rapid pace, excited to see what the rest of the year holds for the network! What does 2020 look like for you? If you are leaving additional revenue out of your business model by not leveraging other independent recruiters there is still time to set yourself up for success in the new year.
