Steffani
Adaska, Recruiting Diva (a.k.a. President & CEO) |

|
For the time being, Steffani is something of a pioneer in the world of Senior Housing employment, successfully integrating four full-time careers - as a seasoned Head Hunter for Windsor Executive Search, founder of SeniorHousingJobs.com, and co-founder of JobsinMWV.com and as a mother. Steffani's background started in the food and hospitality industry. As a graduate of the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), and armed with a degree in Hotel Restaurant Management, Steffani set out on a career as a Chef. Living in Morristown, NJ and working as the Test Kitchen Coordinator and Ast. Food Photographer for Art Culinaire Magazine, Steffani had the fortune of frequent travel. In 1995, on a photo shoot in Scottsdale, Arizona, Steffani fell in love with the Southwest and decided she wanted to pack up her Harley, all her belongings, and move to Scottsdale. Interviewing for a job through a very successful recruiting firm, Steffani was recruited to become a recruiter in the LTC industry. "It was my original plan to just learn the basics of recruiting, then I would start a Culinary/Hospitality division for them." It didn't quite work out that way. Twelve years later, Steffani is still a Recruiting Diva, still working in the healthcare arena. In 2000, Steffani left the "dry heat" of Arizona, and headed East to New Hampshire where she started Windsor Executive Search, a boutique search firm dedicated to the Senior Housing industry. In August, 2003 Steffani had a dream. She woke up in the middle of the night to write something down in her journal by the nightstand and went back to sleep. The next morning, Steffani awoke to the words senior, housing, and jobs. Later that day SeniorHousingJobs.com was officially started. No grass growing under her feet. In 2006 Steffani, along with her husband, started JobsinMWV.com, a local Internet job board for the Mt. Washington Valley (NH). Steffani is on the board of the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and is the Effervescent Chair of the Mt. Washington Valley Young Professionals. Of course, she takes time for more important things, like her 10 year-old daughter and 7 year-old son, her husband, gardening, reading and lots of home improvements. The yin and yang spirit apparently prevails in many areas of Steffani's life: "My husband," she explains, "is a calm soul, completely relaxed - the opposite of me." Ah, Balance.
