Dave has a long track record of success on all levels of staffing and recruiting, managing, training, and developing recruiting professionals. Dave is based in Fairfield CT but recruits nationally.

Pierpont: We specialize in two areas – Healthcare and our Clients.
RD: Specializing in your clients is indeed important! Can you share a bit about your recruiting background/experience?
Pierpont: I have been in healthcare recruitment for 18 years. Cutting my teeth with Weatherby Healthcare (back in the day) when the internet was but a mere glimmer in the industry’s eye, and recruiters learned how to close. After a number of years with Weatherby then CompHealth I found myself in a small boutique firm, for a short period before moving in-house with Saint Mary’s Health System where my role, interest, knowledge and horizon in healthcare management expanded dramatically. Medical staff development, practice management, physician network development and today’s newest buzzword physician integration, are all areas that have touch points in recruitment. And understanding the needs of a medical practice, hospital or health system really has become the key to successfully being able to effectively deliver the service and result our clients expect. Stonebridge & Company is a representation of my beliefs and experiences in this professional field, where we work to the be the best at what we do, combining classical recruitment with the today’s technology to accurately respond to our clients’ needs and candidates’ focuses.

Monday Morning Inspiration – No Time For Second-Guessing
It is common the day after the big game to assume the role of Monday morning quarterback. To look back and scrutinize all the little plays and mistakes to identify where an opportunity was won or lost. I am sure all of Steeler nation is asking the ‘what if’s’ today, but as recruiters we need to be careful to not bring this practice to our desks
My first recruiting manager was constantly reminding us to ask one question at our desks. Is what you are doing making you money? A simple question to ask to maintain focus and not lose sight of the steps needed to achieve your goal(s). The act of second guessing would certainly come back as a resounding no to that question. Of course all recruiters want to avoid making repeated mistakes, but time is too precious at your desk to lose on activities that will bring no productivity.
When I first stepped into a managerial role, I had a few recruiters that would lose a whole day (if not more) of production if a deal went south. It is unfortunately a reality at the desk, and one you have to have tough skin to shrug off, but need to shrug off nonetheless. That was a message I would remind them as I always preached volume to make those lost deals not sting as much.
