We are Ten!

Merrainiacs: Excuse my absence. There has been so much going on. Our tenth anniversary bash was a hit. We received cards and flowers and even a few boxes of chocolate from clients and candidates alike as we celebrated a decade in business on April first! The letters and testimonials from people whose lives we have changed have meant so much. I'm convinced we are the beneficiaries of your kindness! This business is so incredibly meaningful....to be able to impact someone's quality of life while enhancing the leadership team and patient care at a hospital has enriched all of our lives. This past decade has gone by in a flash, and we have placed director level candidates at more than four hundred hospitals! Over the next decade, we hope we can do even better. We're focused on our customer care, our retention rates, our confidentiality, our speed to market, our sourcing methods and your reputation! Thank you to our clients and candidates who have made this such an incredible ten years! Our Founder & Managing Director, David Gantshar told the story at our company party of starting the firm in New City, New York where he shared offices with three law firms. On April 1, 2001 he was the only employee of the company, and he brought in a folding chair and a laptop and started dialing. Over time he kicked out each of the law firms as more space was needed and more team members were added. The firm moved to Montebello (our current location) years later and expanded from a regional staffing firm focused on the New England healthcare market to what it is today....a national search firm focused on placing the very best candidates in both permanent and interim positions at hospitals across the globe. It's been an incredible ride and for that, we have you to thank. Here's to the next decade and our teenage years! Merrainiac
