Mr. Dave Staats

biography

Dave has a recent history of success in placing top executives as well as implementation consultants for software companies. He also has made more placements in Artificial Intelligence than any other headhunter. His career began during the SDI(Star Wars) years and included placement of scientists in laser,stealth and other high tech fields. More so than a technology or geography his specialty is in the search process and delivery of the client's needs.

Over the years Dave has proven to be an effective trainer and mentor of other recruiters and has helped others grow in the business. At his previous company he was running their most profitable business unit at the time he left. Dave recently joined The Pinnacle Society for top-producing individual recruiters.

Before becoming a headhunter in 1985 he worked in the trucking industry as a road dispatcher and dock supervisor as well as the customer service and distribution arena. During a short hiatus from the recruiting industry ten years ago he obtained a Private Investigator's license which he keeps as a constant reminder that a headhunter is what he really is.

Dave and his wife Eleonora(Eli) are the proud parents of Sara(9) and Cari(6) who were adopted from China. They also share their home with an Australian Shepherd,a Border Collie and an English Setter
