The Management Team

Peter Warns - President

Mr. Warns has been a recruiter since 1970 when he was employed by EDP-World. He founded DataFinders in May 1975 and has been responsible for the placement of a significant number of hi-level sales and sales management talent throughout the computer industry.

At 23 years old, he learned very early in his young adult life that he was very fortunate to find such a great business that he was both good at and very well suited for. He started placing sales people in the NY tri-state area at copier and business machine companies and then went on to place computer sales people.

In the 1970's, he spent a great deal of his time servicing the computer leasing business and developed many long-term relationships that still remain today.

Mr. Warns has built DataFinders and his own background on strong personal and business relationships. He prides himself in having helped change many people's lives, much for the better. He realized many years ago the importance of trust & honesty. "This is a reference business and without good references and a creditable reputation, you will not stay in business." This is the philosophy that he has passed on to all the recruiters at DataFinders. Mr. Warns places high-level sales and sales management candidates and works today on mostly hot new start-ups that will become the future of our industry. He also maintains an ongoing personal relationship with all the employees at DataFinders. It is well known that his door is always open and he always makes himself available to help anyone who needs it

Thomas J. Credidio - Vice President

Mr. Credidio was in the computer industry from 1969-1979 selling computer hardware/software for Harris Corporation (where he was the New York Branch Manager) and Datapoint Corporation (where he was the Eastern Regional Sales Manager.) His successes included the sales of a number of major national accounts headquartered in the NY Metropolitan Area.

In 1979, with DataFinders (DFG) having a strong presence in the NY area, he began his recruiting career by expanding DFG's coverage up and down the east coast, and hiring, training and managing new recruiters to maintain DFG's presence in these areas as the expansion continued. The concept of territorial/account assignments nationwide for the recruiting of computer personnel was unheard of at that time, but is currently being used in a number of successful recruiting firms today as a result. He personally has trained some of the top IT recruiters in the industry today, and his training methods are currently being used by a number of successful search firms.

Based on his contributions to DFG's expansions, he was promoted to VP in 1986. His current role is one of a "General Manager," assuring the continued growth of DFG in a number of new areas: Information Systems and "temporary" staffing; in addition to its main strength since its inception in 1975: Nationwide Sales and Technical Sales Support.

Ruth Goldstein - Director, Technical Sales Support Division

Ms. Goldstein joined DFG in 1991 after six successful years of recruiting for the Executive Registry. While there, she managed a Retail Division which handled placements in managerial positions at the store level. When she joined DFG, she initially worked with pre/post sales support personnel in the NY Metropolitan area, sometimes branching out into other territories. Eventually she built a staff of recruiters to support these other geographic areas. She currently manages the Technical Sales Support Division, while still supporting the Metropolitan pre-sales area herself. The division's area of specialization is in systems, operations & applications, both front and back office.
