Meet our September Manager of the Month, Tony Fiduccia. Tony is just getting started with Goodwin & Associates and is already showing signs of a great future! Congratulations, and a very well deserved nomination!

What is the best thing about recruiting and being a recruiter? “Some look at this like a job. I really believe I am helping people mold and shape their careers. Also I believe I am assisting companies in their quest to be successful. Making that perfect match is very rewarding.”

What makes GAHS better than the other companies in your view, what is your attraction and keeps you there? “The teamwork and support is what makes our company unique. We believe what we are doing is taking a profession which has earned some not so good critiques, and injected professionalism, knowledge and integrity for all people involved.”

Where did you work before GAHS? “Been recruiting for 16 years. Fourteen with a start up firm in NJ and the other two with a small firm in Virginia Beach. Prior I spent many years in operations.”

Any good book recommendations business wise or for social reading you could pass along? “Believe it or not I love the book “Built to Win”. It is written by John Schuerholz who was the GM of the Atlanta Braves. He took a team with poor history and morale and made them a winner all while being profitable. He really explains what it is like to be a leader and have to make hard decisions. Very hard to do in pro sports with the consistency he did it it with.”

Favorite Chain Restaurant: “PF Changs”

Favorite kind of food: “Being from NJ with a Sicilian Grandmother (who is still cooking at 99) I would have to say Italian.”

Movie recommendations: “Anything with Robert Dinero or Edward Norton”

If I were President the one thing I would change is…. “The legal system. I think it has gotten far too complicated. I don’t think it take up as much time and money to determine right from wrong.”

Favorite Vacation spot: “The Florida Keys”

Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks? “Food Dunkin/Coffee Starbucks”

Favorite Sports and Teams: “Football Miami Dolphins and Florida Gators”

Would like to travel where someday: “Italy. Have family there”
