    Andre Young, Key Account Manager, KUKA | Candidate

  • “I just wanted to give a shout out to Michael Silverstein‘s Team for being an amazing recruiting partner! If anyone needs support in HealthTech, they are amazing! Specializing in PE Recruiting, they achieved the 2025 PE Recruiting Power 100 Firm and it is for a reason!”

    Tanya Ianozzi, Chief Operating Officer, Lightning Step Technologies | Clients

  • “I provided a job opportunity I wanted and based on the credibility DRI has built and contacts made, Danny went ALL in and was able to get me into an opportunity that my resume alone would not show my true value. He went for it and I appreciate that DRI team and Danny pushed for me. I give all 10’s to Danny because he was there, he asked and pushed to be there whether I needed the help or not. I am confident in my skills beyond the paper and application process. The coolest part was that Danny could see that and still set up time and was intentional to support, give feedback and follow up consistently and above and beyond times to check in. He was passionate about delivering to both ME and the job. I still work closely with DRI and Danny and will send people his way.”

    Christine Feltman, Director, 9AM Health | Candidate

  • “I’ve been recruiting talent in the healthcare information technology industry for more than 25 years and have worked with many recruiters over that period of time. In today’s high growth HIT environment, I get between ten and fifteen calls/emails from various recruiters each week, pitching me on their latest “#1” candidate who they are sure will be a perfect fit for me, my team and my company. Fortunately, I never get calls like that from Mike Silverstein. Instead, I go to Mike when I have a recruiting need because he listens. Mike has been a trusted resource for me when I am in need of additional talent because he is not focused on pushing or selling candidates, rather his focus is on understanding my needs first, researching candidates extensively, screening candidates appropriately, managing candidates proactively throughout the hiring process and conscientiously following up to ensure my satisfaction. Mike also blends the appropriate mix of contact frequency with knowing when contact isn’t appropriate. There are many recruiters that have been in the business longer than Mike, but they’d do themselves some good to follow his lead.”

    Greg Miller – Senior Vice President, Health Catalyst

  • “In working with many talent agencies, I’ve yet to come across a team as helpful, efficient, energetic and professional as Direct Recruiters. They are a pleasure to work with and approach their customers and candidates with a high level of care!

    Patrick Murphy – Sr. VP Sales & Strategy, FormFast, Inc.

I told you when I first met you these many years ago that getting me to use outside sources for talent would be difficult. You not only hung in there which speaks volumes about your tenacity, but when you got the shot you delivered. I can’t think of any greater endorsement than using your services whenever the need arises. Thanks again for all your efforts.”

    Mike McGuire – CEO, Holon Solutions

  • “I have worked with Mike and his team for some time now and have been impressed by their professionalism, responsiveness, and constant effort to find me well qualified candidates to interview for openings in my sales organization. Unlike other recruiters with whom I’ve worked, Mike and his team take the time to elicit our sales candidate needs to make sure they target candidate recruits that will best meet our needs. Mike and his group are true professionals exhibiting the highest integrity and ethics; their desire to make me successful is refreshing and I view Mike and his group as true partners for my sales organization.”

    Mike is extremely well organized, timely, articulate, hard working, and excellent with follow up. He greatly simplified the process of finding qualified candidates.

    Should you wish to call me regarding Mike’s attributes and ability to find qualified candidates for open positions that you currently have, please feel free to contact me.”

    Dale Edwards – Senior Vice President of Sales, MEDSEEK Inc. (Influence Health)

  • “I have been in the healthcare IT industry for almost 15 years and have utilized a number of different executive recruiters over that time. Some of my experiences have been less than stellar. Mike Silverstein, on the other hand, has always outperformed my expectations. He holds honesty and integrity to the highest regard. Mike always produces top talented individuals for my openings and we have hired 100% of the folks he has recommended that we have interviewed. The value that Mike has brought us over the last year exceeds the cost of his services. If you have any questions about Mike or his track record of success please don’t hesitate to contact me.”

    Jim Mullen – Senior Vice President of Sales, T-System, Inc.

  • “Michael has always been an excellent resource. His personality, persistence and professionalism make him a success in his business.

  • “Mike, your company’s thorough diligence about our needs, the job description, the location, candidate duties, competitive industries, and compensation ranges allowed us to convey exactly what we were needing in our candidates. This information in turn allowed your team to find the exact fit we needed. The end result has been employees that quickly gained the necessary knowledge to become productive team members in a very short time. I would highly recommend your approach, and your services to any other business that needs immediate results from a professional, results oriented company.”

    Greg Vap – SVP Operations and Professional Services, Pulse Systems, Inc.

    Bruce Roberson – VP New Business Sales, Healthcare Management Systems, Inc.

  • “Mike, thank you for all your efforts and I know we will be in touch for other searches. You have done an excellent job bringing talent our way and I have been very impressed with your professionalism and abilities.”

    Sam Godwin – VP Sales, Optum Healthcare

  • “I’ve had the opportunity to work with many recruiters and typically avoid them. I’ve made an exception for Mike (Silverstein) who’s the lead Healthcare IT recruiter for Direct Recruiters. Mike is a collaborative partner that produced multiple high quality candidates for my consideration. He offers an unbiased assessment and never tried to force a fit or make a deal. He’s genuine and acts with long term interest in mind. I consider Mike a valued, strategic resource.”

    Mike Tarwacki – Chief Revenue Officer, Zynx Health Incorporated

  • “We have partnered with Mike and Direct Recruiters since fall 2008 to find outside sales talent. Mike has been great to work with. He quickly learned all the nuances of what we were looking for in sales talent and does not waste our time with mediocre candidates. He does not try to oversell candidates to us like some recruiters do; he respects our decisions and uses those decisions to narrow in on the ideal candidates for us. He is a true professional with high energy and a strong drive to meet clients’ needs. I highly recommend Mike!”

    Laura Kennedy – Recruiting Manager, Navicure, Inc.

  • “It is with great pleasure that I fully endorse the work of Mike Silverstein. He has been instrumental in helping us quickly locate great talent, those individuals who not only have

    the requisite skill sets but those rare individuals who possess the soft skills, teamwork orientation, and passion for what they do. Unlike many recruiters, I never felt like Mike put his interests above mine

    in trying to ‘force a fit’ or convince me to accept someone that I didn’t feel was an optimal match. In recruiting high talent, it is important to me to work with a true professional where complete collaboration and urgency exists. I also have the piece of mind in knowing that if I need Mike and his team to help me during negotiations, I fully trust them to execute in this critical area.

    In this new economy especially within a small growing business, we are trying to do more with less. Finding great partners who are skilled at what they do, deliver results, and operate with complete transparency and integrity are difficult to find. I feel like I have found this with Mike. I hesitate to offer this recommendation only because he’s a rare find and for selfish reasons I hope he never becomes too busy to find time for my next search.”

    Scott Boyden – SVP, Sales & Marketing, Streamline HEALTH

  • “When I joined athenahealth, I had a difficult time finding a trusted partner to use as an outside resource in assisting my search efforts for high-level, niche positions until I started working with Mike Silverstein and his team at Direct Recruiters. They work smart to identify top talent and continue to deliver the caliber and quality of candidates that we are looking to hire.  Mike and his team successfully identified two star candidates for Director-level roles that we would never have found had it not been for the time, energy, and highly qualified team at Direct Recruiters. They are an exceptional group and a trusted extension of our recruiting arm here at athenahealth that I would highly recommend to any organization looking for an expert in the field of talent recruitment. In my opinion they are the whole package.”

Norm has been a critical resource in finding great talent in a very specialized industry for us. Since my first conversation with him, I knew he was a true collaborator, he was extremely well-connected in the industry, and he understood the importance of confidentiality. Norm continued to educate me on key items in the industry and always had time to discuss thoughts on a candidate, brainstorm ideas, and determine the most effective offer. He not only focuses on the details of the job, but the culture and personality that will be successful. We always felt like a top priority working with Norm and I can’t recommend Norm enough for organizations looking to partner with a recruiter to find candidates that fit the role, culture and compensation.”

    HR Director – Voalte

  • “I’ve recently used Direct Recruiters for three very important strategic searches and they have delivered great candidates every time. In the specialized niches of healthcare IT, it is very challenging to find executives who have the combination of domain expertise along with excellent management skills. In each search, Mike and Steve were able to provide exceptional candidates who had exactly what we were looking for. They took the time to carefully understand our specific needs so that they used our time efficiently by only providing introductions that were a good fit. In my 25 years of operating experience, I have worked with many executive search firms and I would put the healthcare team at Direct Recruiters at the top.”

    Claude Hooton, President & Chief Operating Officer – NucleusHealth

  • “As a sales leader, I get approached often by recruiters claiming they can bring me the best talent on the market. At Experian Health, when we hire new sales associates we take a lot of time and care in the hiring process. We invest significantly in our team during onboarding so making the wrong hire can set us back. We also protect our culture, which is one of high performance, teamwork and authenticity. Consistently, time and time again, Mike and Direct Recruiters have brought me candidates that are not only top industry talent but also fit right into the culture we work so hard to maintain. I would recommend Direct Recruiters as your hiring partner to anyone who asks.”

  • “I had the pleasure of working with DRI and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for opportunities in the Healthcare Technology space.

They wanted the best for me and that was made clear by their actions – not just her words.”

I highly recommend that you share your story with DRI as well.”

    Chris Riddle, Senior Account Executive – Leidos Health

  • “As someone who does not change positions often, I rely on professionals to properly market my skills and prepare me for the change. The DRI team was consummate professionals through the process of my last career change. They were very helpful in every step of the process – from resume enhancement to social media exposure to interview prep, DRI guided me through the maze. They were always available to me before, during, and after the process. I couldn’t give a more positive recommendation for the work DRI did for me.”

    F.C. – Candidate

He always listened to what I wanted to do next and what I was looking for. He never seemed to be too “aggressive” in a sense that had me to believe that this was just another quota/ goal for him to get a commission. Stephen was also very thorough throughout the whole process. He made sure all my questions were answered and I always knew what was the next step in the interview process. Overall, Stephen served as a great resource in my job search. I would definitely recommend him to any company searching for some help with recruiting.”

    Brian Anderson, Group Vice President, Commercial Operations – AssistRx

  • “I have worked with Norm and his team at two different companies. In both scenarios, we were looking for a specific profile of candidates plus the right culture fit. These requirements can be difficult in a competitive market. Both times his team was not only very swift with bringing us high-quality candidates but great culture matches as well. The DRI team operates like an extension of your business when they are in an active search for you. We hired 3 candidates within 3 weeks-simply amazing.”

  • “I was recruited by Jillian at Direct Recruiters in mid-2019 for my role with Commercial Asset Preservation. In my career I had worked with a couple of recruiters and found that for the most part, their role was to make a connection to the hiring company. I was happy to discover that Jillian and Direct Recruiters does not conduct business that way. I was very pleased with Jillian’s approach. Not only did she thoroughly vet my qualifications, she acted as a consultant and helped me prepare for my interview, negotiation and ultimate acceptance of my position. If you are looking for a hands-on recruiter in the healthcare space, either as a candidate or a hiring manager, I encourage you to give Jillian a call. She is fantastic!”

I am happy to report that it was the right decision to make! DRI was 100% professional and had a legitimate offer with a legitimate company available for me.

I consider Michael’s extensive knowledge and expertise regarding today’s economy and workplace an asset for me and the many others he may be helping. His guidance is positive, constructive and precise. What I’m thankful for at this time of my life is his uplifting spirit and belief in not only his own skills, but in the skills of his client(s).

I have worked with other 3rd party recruiters, DRI is by far the best I have ever worked with! I loved working with DRI. I applied for many jobs and ended up getting interviews for exactly what I was looking for quickly after contacting DRI.”

    S.Y. – Candidate

  • “Though I was not actively seeking new employment at the time, I first became acquainted with the DRI team via LI where they directly engaged with me regarding some viable job opportunities that aligned with my profile. In my experience, gross assumptions of a candidate’s capabilities (or limitations) based simply on Title/Company/Tenure happen with great frequency across recruiting firms, particularly for sales professionals. Even when the assumptions are based on a recruiter’s previous interactions with others in the same or similar roles, this candidate bias commoditizes the individual in a way that eliminates their unique traits (e.g. soft skills, drive, passion, grit) for potential employers. The results are typically wasted time and unfulfilled goals for all involved. I’m happy to say that DRI broke the mold and did not follow this pattern when working with me. As a tenured sales professional in the Healthcare IT-Technology space, I was very impressed with how DRI separated themselves from many other recruiters I’ve interacted with in the past by investing the time to better understand my own uniquely developed skillsets for success based on the types of challenges I willingly took on to grow my craft over the years. They sought out my professional interests, delved into my areas of expertise, & showed sincere interest in helping me meet my long-term career goals. The DRI team is incredibly professional, always returning communications in a timely manner, and remained consistently proactive in seeking updates from potential employers pre & post interview. Once I began to seriously consider roles being presented to me, they were also an invaluable resource in educating me about the key changes & trends involved in the interview/recruiting process since I was last on the market–ensuring I was both comfortable & prepared.”

    J.G. – Candidate

  • “I have had multiple experiences with DRI and they are consistent and response. For this particular search, all involved parties were actively managing the selection process. Multiple follow ups were also conducted while staying within script of the agreed upon messaging. The pre-word to provide quality resources was greatly appreciated. Will continue to use their services in the future.”

    R.I. – Client

  • “The entire process was a very good experience. Working with Steve was a joy! The entire staff at DRI are professional, great communicators and helpful with navigating the entire interview and selection process. I would highly recommend DRI.”

    B.T. – Candidate

  • “I reached out to DRI after an unfortunate layoff and he got to work right away! They came to the table with several incredible offers over a very short period of time. DRI ended up connecting me with the organization I ultimately joined and I received an offer within 10 days of our first meeting!

I was able to work with DRI from the client perspective looking for support in our recruiting efforts, and then also from a candidate perspective. From the client perspective I think that it was just top notch all around and very understood what we were looking for from a skill level but also from a company culture perspective. The level of communication and the way things were discussed and communicated was very to the point with dedicated components. Communication was flawless throughout. Something else I would mention about DRI, is when I started at my new company they had made it a point to reach out to me personally the day I started to wish me well on my first day. Working with DRI never felt like it was about volumes of deals that can be brought placing candidates at companies or a transactional type of relationship. The experience felt very much integrated and partnered rather than client business. I know full well anytime someone is looking for a job I will be recommending DRI.”

    Joshua Elvert – Business Development Manager, PRC Clinical

  • “There were a number of things that caught my attention from the very first interaction with DRI recruiters. Their interpersonal skillset is exceedingly good, they related to me on a personal level as well as a very professional level, but were also very interested in what was important to me as an individual and seemed to never lose sight of that. DRI has been exceedingly responsive and equal parts proactive. I always felt very comfortable giving them feedback and they listened to understand more and more what I was looking for. Without question I would recommend the DRI team. I have had a unique position of being both the candidate and hiring manager for DRI and they were beyond professional with me on both sides of that equation. I think DRI clearly instills some very strict and stringent expectations on their team members, and that is very reflective of the organizational structure and leadership.”

    Denny Kryder – VP of Sales, Vistage Worldwide

  • “Having worked with Direct Recruiters in the past, on more traditional searches, I came back to them with a uniquely challenging opportunity. I essentially needed a unicorn. Most search firms would have backed away but the DRI team was up for the challenge.

In the end, I found my unicorn and couldn’t be happier.”

    Kirk Sudheimer, General Manager – DNAnexus

  • “Over the past few weeks, I reached out to many recruiters via email seeking out new marketing opportunities and thankfully Michael Silverstein was one of the few who responded with unconditional service to help me. He accepted the task of marketing me as if it was his responsibility to do so and he’s been loyal to that ever since. I consider Michael’s extensive knowledge and expertise regarding today’s economy and workplace an asset for me and the many others he may be helping. His guidance is positive, constructive and precise. What I’m thankful for at this time of my life is his uplifting spirit and belief in not only his own skills, but in the skills of his client(s). And I’m someone he just met a few weeks ago! I’m forever thankful Michael Silverstein answered my email.”

    C.B. | Candidate

  • “I can only describe my experience working with Direct Recruiters, and having Tom Clark as my recruiter, as outstanding from start to finish.  Prior to working with Tom, I had a lot of difficulty finding a career at the level and compensation that I thought I was worth.  Tom guided me through the interviewing process from the beginning, helping translate the skills and experience I had gained through the military into terms that were more relatable to the civilian job market.  Tom did an excellent job of presenting my background to the company I am currently employed with.  I honestly felt like half the battle had been won by Tom prior to myself even interviewing.  He kept my current company interested and excited about the opportunity to have me as an employee.  In addition, Tom always made sure that I was prepared and well-rehearsed for each interview.  In between interviews Tom always kept me updated and informed on how the process was moving along and what I should expect next.   I would recommend Tom and Direct Recruiters to any transitioning Active Duty leaders, as well as those serving in the Reserves or National Guard!”

    S.F. – Candidate and Former Military

  • “Tom Clark from Direct Recruiters facilitated an absolutely seamless transition from active duty military service to a phenomenal opportunity I would have never found on my own. Working with Direct Recruiters was a much different experience than many other firms specifically focused on placing junior military officers separating from military service. Instead of quickly ushering me to the next hiring conference or similar event, Tom sought me out for specific roles which allowed me to capitalize on my experience and interests. Prior to interviewing, he provided me a wealth of information about the company and individuals I would be meeting with and several practice sessions. He was also incredibly helpful in assisting me translate the skills and experience gained from nine years of service into relatable terminology for the private sector. I am absolutely recommending Tom Clark from Direct Recruiters as a first contact to any of my peers also separating from service.”

    Taylor | Candidate

    Ken Credle, Business Development Leader, Electronics, MultiSorb Technologies | Candidate

  • “Joshua Olgin is the real deal. During my last layoff I had the opportunity to work with a handful of recruiters but none of them were even in the same league as Joshua. He wasn’t out to make the quick buck, he wanted to ensure that whoever he placed with the companies he was placing for were happy with them and they were happy with whom he placed. He worked carefully with me to explain everything that would be happening and even helped me with some special tips and pointers on the interview. He always addressed not only my concerns but the concerns of my family as well. He even took time to explain things to my wife and answer any questions she had. He worked with the company to even get plane tickets for my son to come and visit Texas so he could “help” with the finding of our new home. Joshua continues to check in on me and offer any assistance I might need.”

    Philip Borchert, Senior Software Engineer, Cornerstone Automation (CASI) | Candidate

    Matt Charles, Business Development – Midwest at Mobile Industrial Robots ApS

    Drew D’Agostino, Territory Sales Representative, SCHUNK | Candidate

  • “I have worked with so many executive search firms over my 30+ years in the industrial automation industry, however, I have never worked with one as talented and professional as Josh Olgin. He has a high level attention – to – detail and was extremely proactive throughout the entire time that I interfaced with him. Even after he had placed me he continued to call to check on me to see if there was anything he could do to help with the transition. This is a level of customer service that I have never seen from an Executive Recruiter. I would highly recommend Josh Olgin to anyone seeking a position in the Industrial Automation marketplace. The only negative I can possibly think of is he is a Ohio State Buckeye…so with me being a Michigan grad I found it difficult to interface with him on some days! :)”

He always kept in communication about what’s going with PlusOne and keeping me up to date if they needed anything else. He does give you all the resources to success in the interview process such as tips on what kind of questions you should ask, background on the people you are speaking to, and what you should speak more on to help your chances through the interview process.

I asked around to friends/common connections and they said DRI was the agency to partner with and I should respond… so I did! I was upfront with Tyler about my timeline and spent the first interaction really sharing my story, what I was not looking for, and what mattered most to me. Tyler LISTENED and when I told him I would be ready to start looking until the summer he followed up promptly with incredibly spot on opportunities. He coached me on the company, the interview team, and when I had multiple offers (from DRI and non-DRI opportunities) he was the best sounding board I could ask for. In the span of meeting DRI/Tyler to starting my role, I had a baby and Tyler got married… and in that time we have kept in touch, texted photos, and shared joy.

PlusOne was the one he was offering to communicate back and forth between us about their job opportunity as being their Field Engineer.

    He successfully guided me through all the extensive 3 rounds of the interview process and as well travel portion to San Antonio. He always kept in communication about what’s going with PlusOne and keeping me up to date if they needed anything else.

    He does give you all the resources to success in the interview process such as tips on what kind of questions you should ask, background on the people you are speaking to, and what you should speak more on to help your chances through the interview process. Through his help he was able to help me secure a job at PlusOne Robotics, I wouldn’t have made this far if it weren’t for his help! Thanks Joe!”

I have continued to work with Direct Recruiters over the years because they are easy to work with; they find candidates quickly, they’re very personable, quick to respond, and they always keep me in the loop as to progress.

    C.A. – Candidate

  • “Though I was not actively seeking new employment at the time, I first became acquainted with the DRI team via LI where they directly engaged with me regarding some viable job opportunities that aligned with my profile.

    In my experience, gross assumptions of a candidate’s capabilities (or limitations) based simply on Title/Company/Tenure happen with great frequency across recruiting firms, particularly for sales professionals. Even when the assumptions are based on a recruiter’s previous interactions with others in the same or similar roles, this candidate bias commoditizes the individual in a way that eliminates their unique traits (e.g. soft skills, drive, passion, grit) for potential employers. The results are typically wasted time and unfulfilled goals for all involved. I’m happy to say that DRI broke the mold and did not follow this pattern when working with me.

    As a tenured sales professional in the Healthcare IT-Technology space, I was very impressed with how DRI separated themselves from many other recruiters I’ve interacted with in the past by investing the time to better understand my own uniquely developed skillsets for success based on the types of challenges I willingly took on to grow my craft over the years. They sought out my professional interests, delved into my areas of expertise, & showed sincere interest in helping me meet my long-term career goals.

    The DRI team is incredibly professional, always returning communications in a timely manner, and remained consistently proactive in seeking updates from potential employers pre & post interview. Once I began to seriously consider roles being presented to me, they were also an invaluable resource in educating me about the key changes & trends involved in the interview/recruiting process since I was last on the market–ensuring I was both comfortable & prepared.”

    J.G. – Candidate

  • “I really appreciate the partnership we’ve had with Norm, Tyler, and Mitch over the years. They take the time to really know our company, culture, and the roles – this helps them truly deliver the right value prop to the candidates and ensure they’re helping us find the right matches. Always enjoy working with Norm and his team!”

    C.J. – Candidate

  • “DRI was great! They responded quickly. I referred friends over to DRI that also were placed in jobs in a timely manner. They show they cares and are very great at their job!

I applied for many jobs and ended up getting interviews for exactly what I was looking for quickly after contacting DRI.”

    S.Y. – Candidate

  • “Ben essentially received me as a lead from Steve Benson and got right to work getting to know me, my goals, and what attributes I was looking for in my next employer.

    C.D. – Candidate

  • “David really seemed to understand our business and needs for the position, so he didn’t just throw candidates at us to see what sticks like most recruiters.

Far more consistent communication than other recruiters.”

    C.T. – Candidate

    M.A. – Candidate

  • “Chelsea was super proactive and responsive throughout the whole process. She was very direct and professional, yet patient with listening to my thoughts and provided great advice. I really enjoyed working with her and the whole experience. Of course, I’m so pleased because I did end up in a dream job when I was not even looking, which is a true testament to DRI’s match making skills and success. Norman was also extremely helpful at key points, e.g. just getting my attention and comp negotiations, and I’m particularly thankful for him just keeping in touch with me until this opportunity opened up.”

    K.V. – Candidate

  • “DRI has directly contributed to my personal and professional success and has a partner/customer in me for life. They presented me with a few outstanding opportunities and were tenacious and diligent in eventually placing me in the very best role and organization for me. I had many questions, emotional roller-coaster rides, and reached out to them many times and they remained kind, professional, polite, and reassuring every time. Having had too many bad experiences with recruiters, the DRI team is a breath of fresh air and exactly what I would hope for as a leader. Whereas I love, love, love my new job, team, and organization, I will absolutely seek to stay connected with DRI to maintain the trajectory of my successful career.”

He was easy to reach and text with to let me ask questions, as silly as they were!”

Ben adapted to the method and cadence of communication that worked best for me while making sure his client got what they needed. He always made sure that I saw emails from the company when they were sent, touched base with me to see how I was doing and how my job search was going, and made sure I knew he was there if he could help or if I had any questions whatsoever. I have always heard horror stories about working with recruiters and how they won’t stop harassing you. Ben was not like that at all! His timing and how often he touched base with me was perfect. It was like working with a friend.”

    C.N. – Candidate

  • “Josh is a true professional. Great Communicator and always keeps his clients informed day/night, workday/weekends. Respectful of the client and companies time. A pleasure to work with. Thank you for all you do.”

    C.C. – Candidate

  • “Josh was instrumental in helping me get my new position. He guided me through the lengthy interview process, was a sounding board for any questions or concerns that I had, and was an advocate for me with the company’s senior leadership team. I’ve never worked with a recruiter before but I can’t imagine the process being any easier, or more effective, than it was working with Josh. Josh even follows up with me from time to time to see how my new position is going, which I very much appreciate. I highly recommend Josh to anyone that is interested in working in the robotics industry.”

    M.S. – Candidate

  • “I first came to know Josh in 2014 when I was searching for the next step in my career, after 15+ years spread across two previous positions. I was immediately struck by Josh’s approach and how it differed from all the other recruiters that were eager to show me their opportunities. He didn’t just bury me in a mountain of leads that I would have to sift through and research; instead, Josh took the time to talk to me about my career and life goals. We talked about my personal and professional interests, geographic areas I liked, expected compensation, different roles that I would be comfortable pursuing, and what kind of advancement I was expecting–everything about my *specific* job-search that was important to me–before we ever talked about any particular company or position. I really appreciated that systemic approach as it helped me quickly identify the right opportunities and I was glad to see that Josh was doing his best to fulfill the employer’s expectations while still considering my needs. It can’t be easy to manage that line between the employer’s and the candidate’s best interests, but I was happy to have Josh involved because I knew I could trust him to be fair and empathic with everyone involved. In the end, I took that next step in my career, and I think it was an excellent match for everyone involved. I keep in touch with Josh even now 6-years later; mostly to refer new graduates or industry vets looking for a change, but also to bounce ideas off him and get his insights. Thanks Josh! I really appreciate your professionalism and the pride you take in doing a good job!”

    M.B. – Candidate

  • “It was a great experience to work with Josh as a recruiter. He is an active listener and helped me land in a great position. He also made some good recommendations during the negotiation stage, specifically about benefits, which helped during the transitional period. Josh did a really good job of staying engaged throughout the entire process and even checked in after employment started. I would definitely recommend Josh if you are in the job market, although he will make you talk about Browns football ( yuck ).”

    B.R. – Candidate

  • “Best recruiter I’ve worked with, by far! Steve consistently kept me apprised of progress/status as we moved through the process. Not once did I need to reach out to ask about next steps, etc. He also made sure I had all the info I needed prior to each interview so I was always prepared. Great experience, from start to finish!”

    C.S. – Candidate

  • “Joe is fantastic to work with! He does his homework, makes the proper connections and keeps you engaged and informed throughout the process. Working with him is like working with someone you’ve known your entire life and he works his tail off for you. I would recommend Joe to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, passionate recruiter.”

    T.L. – Candidate

  • “Amy is so helpful. I am fortunate to be working for a great company in a position that I am excited about. I would have never known about this opportunity, nor would I have succeeded in landing this job without Amy’s guidance and encouragement.”

    Brian Housewright, Region Manager

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Amy Bogart about six months ago. She contacted me about a fantastic opportunity at a time when I was not really looking for a change much less a different aspect of my field. All of the information and details she provided me were accurate and true which is quite refreshing when working with recruitment companies. Not only did she prepare me extremely well for my interviews she was also very encouraging and very knowledgeable about the company. She helped me to transition to a new company and a new role in my career and I could not be happier. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for an honest and affective recruiter.”

    Vienna Hauge, General Manager of Life Sciences at NOCD

  • “I was contacted by Amy about 8 months ago for a job opportunity. Usually, recruiters sent me messages for jobs that ended up being unrelated to what I really do, so, I was hesitant. After a brief conversation about the opportunity, it was apparent that it was worth pursuing. Through it all, she was patient with my questions and provided as many details as I needed to prepare me for my interviews & next steps. She was open and honest and I never felt pressured or rushed. In the end, I accepted the position and have Amy to thank for the guidance and info sharing. I’m still very happy in my role all these months later. Thanks, Amy!”

    Alice Perry, Sr Customer Success Manager at Pinnacle 21

  • “I have worked with DRI and Cherie for recruiting and executive search services for over 15 years. DRI really works hard to get somebody that they believe would fit the position. DRI understands the needs of the company and our culture- not just the job spec but the softer areas that are hard to establish when looking at resumes. I am completely, 100%, satisfied with DRI. I wouldn’t change the recruiters for anything! Working with Cherie is awesome! She understands our business, she knows our people, she knows what we are looking for and she anticipates our process. Cherie is always positive and she never, ever, throws candidates at us just to throw candidates at us. Working with DRI is an important part of our culture here at Hanel -and the most critical. The DRI team is dialed in to my industry. They know my competitors, not just direct competitors but the long-term personalities within Material Handling. As a member of the Material Handling board and a former member of the round table for NHI, I have recommended DRI to all the high-level CEOs there, powerful people within Material Handling. I don’t make recommendations all willy-nilly, I make the recommendation because I’m sure.”

    Brian Cohen, Chief Executive at Hanel Storage System

  • “I have found DRI to be very reliable in terms of listening to our human resource requirements and matching those requirements with qualified candidates. In addition, their approach is not too aggressive and bothersome but very effective.”

    Brian Heil, President – ISRA Surface Vision

  • “It’s always a pleasure to work with Joe. He is very thorough in his research and understanding of the roles he puts forward. He is definitely not one to put forward opportunities if it’s not a good match for either the company or the individual. The one thing that I truly appreciate in dealing with Joe is that he didn’t disappear once I started my new role. Joe and I touch base frequently, and it’s something that makes him stand apart from a lot of the recruiters I’ve worked with in the past.”

    B.V. – Candidate

  • “Joe was helpful in identifying an opportunity for me, listened to my concerns and helped me think through the process of making a career move. I appreciate the opportunity he has presented to me and look forward to my success at the new company that he has given me the chance to work with.”

    N.E. – Candidate

  • “Joe was a joy to work with! He was prompt in answering my questions, easy to communicate with, & helpful throughout the whole interview process. I felt genuinely heard when I expressed my concerns regarding my career path & he was kind enough to share sincere advice that truly helped in making my choice. I’m so thankful for my experience working with Joe!”

    B.H. – Candidate

  • “Joe is a sincere, honest, and overall great guy to work with. He always makes sure he’s available for candidates to ask questions and is committed to positioning them for success, so that your very best self shines through throughout the interview process. I’ve worked with many other recruiters who have limited to no invested interest in the candidate; that is not the case with Joe. Joe unselfishly commits himself 100% to understanding your goals, and what you need to be successful, and goes above and beyond to positions himself as a true advocate for you, as he works to find the right candidate/client fit. He communicates transparently and attentively — and wholeheartedly — listens to feedback, both good and bad. I have Joe’s cellphone in my contact list, because he is genuinely one of the few recruiters out there who I can always count on. He is a true professional in an industry crowded with opportunists. Thank you, Joe, for raising the bar for the industry and your peers!”

    Alex Holzhausen, Strategic Account Manager – Rockwell Automation

Through his efforts I have a job with a company that appreciates my knowledge and ultimately myself.  Dave has changed the future of my family and myself.  I am even considering working past retirement as I love what I am doing.”

    G.D. – Candidate

  • “I am so grateful for DRI’s help in getting an offer from Experity. I could not have done it without them!

    J.M. – Candidate

    K.O. – Candidate

    Zack Schrantz – Candidate

  • “It was a great experience working with Joe.

    I.S. – Candidate

  • “The DRI team should be on the short list for those who are looking to recruit talent. They are genuinely committed to making both companies and candidates successful. Through clear and constant communication, DRI recruiters make sure that everyone feels comfortable with the process and that deadlines are met.”

    C.F. – Candidate

Joe spent a lot of time with me and even offered to speak to me while he was on vacation, I highly recommend Joe!”

    Andy Blankemeier, Candidate

  • “Joe is very good at what he does. He not only found me the job I have wanted my entire career but followed up throughout the entire process.

    D.P. – Candidate

  • “I was lucky enough to receive a networking request from Steve that led to me accepting an amazing position at a start-up that wasn’t on my radar. He supported me through the entire process and even checked in with me during my onboarding period. As if this wasn’t enough, he’s also a dog lover which means he’s the best kind of person. I’d definitely work with him again.”

    Kendra Brown, Product Management Leader

    Lee Taylor, Healthcare Technology Sales Leader

  • “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Dave Bevington at DRI. As somebody who does not have a lot of interviews under his belt, having spent almost the entirety of my career with one company, I have found Dave’s suggestions and coaching extremely valuable. He also showed a deep understanding of the hiring company and its needs, which made my decision to move forward with the hiring process easier.”

    S.G. – Candidate

  • It’s been great working with Dave Bevington and the DRI team! Given my resume along with our initial discussions regarding my current situation, career goals, and aspirations Dave and Daniel found a perfect opportunity for me in a new company. Dave was on point with our phone calls and discussions throughout the hiring process, and one area that sets DRI apart from competitors is the attention and coaching support through each step of the hiring process.

    Our challenge during the company offer step was negotiating the base salary as it was below what I have been accustomed to making over the last several years. Although they wanted to negotiate directly with me on salary, I appreciate Dave pulling out the stops and making a pitch to the company that paved the way to me negotiating a salary that was a win for me and my new company.

    Finally, it was a nice touch to send me a thank you card and small gift as follow up. That and the request for this testimonial speaks volumes.

    D.C. – Candidate

  • “I had the great fortune of connecting with Stephen, who helped me navigate through an exciting opportunity at a very forward thinking company in a competitive space. Stephen went out of his way to make himself available and answer questions but it was his ability to help me advocate for myself that I found to be most valuable. Before I met Stephen, I wouldn’t say that honesty, transparency, and hustle would be the words that sprang to mind when thinking of a corporate recruiter. Stephen embodies all of those qualities. Plus he’s just fun to talk to. Great guy, knows his stuff, and actually cares. You’ll be in good hands with Stephen.”

    Karl Chocensky, Sr. Customer Success – Experity Health

  • “Steve is a true professional and I had the opportunity to work with him on a recent search.

He always listened to what I wanted to do next and what I was looking for. He never seemed to be too “aggressive” in a sense that had me to believe that this was just another quota/ goal for him to get a commission. Stephen was also very thorough throughout the whole process. He made sure all my questions were answered and I always knew what was the next step in the interview process. Overall, Stephen served as a great resource in my job search. I would definitely recommend him to any company searching for some help with recruiting.”

    David Pape, Regional Vice President – ElectrifAi

  • I have worked with so many executive search firms over my 30+ years in the industrial automation industry, however, I have never worked with one as talented and professional as Josh Olgin. He has a high level attention – to – detail and was extremely proactive throughout the entire time that I interfaced with him. Even after he had placed me he continued to call to check on me to see if there was anything he could do to help with the transition. This is a level of customer service that I have never seen from an Executive Recruiter. I would highly recommend Josh Olgin to anyone seeking a position in the Industrial Automation marketplace. The only negative I can possibly think of is he is a Ohio State Buckeye…so with me being a Michigan grad I found it difficult to interface with him on some days! :)

    William Steury, Vice President of Sales – Schmalz

  • “I have known Josh for some time and was able to work with him to place personnel with our team late 2017 and early 2018.

I count him as one of the go to guys for resources in our field.”

I have referred many of my connections to Josh when they have been job searching in the past…and would greatly recommend him to anyone in the Robotic/Automation community.”

    Matt Charles, Business Development – Midwest at Mobile Industrial Robots ApS

  • “Working with DRI was great! I typically ignore recruiters on Linkedin. However, with their area of expertise, I thought a conversation might be worth my time, and boy was I right! We had a great first chat and I finished that with the expectation that I might hear something back in a week or two depending on the opportunities interest level in my background. Surprisingly the DRI team was able to present an opening that was a perfect fit for me the next day! They did a great job arranging details and getting me prepared for interviews.”

    Dante White, Director Channel Sales at RingLogix

  • “I worked with Direct Recruiters when being recruited by a tech firm. I found them to be incredibly helpful, professional, and the team gave excellent advice.

Their coaching and encouragement proved invaluable during the interview process. As others have pointed out, DRI truly focuses on their clients and makes them feel like they’re a priority. The DRI team took the time to match me to an ideal position – one that I am enjoying very much – and provided valuable insight regarding the position and the company itself. It was a general pleasure working with DRI and I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

    Shenali Parikh, Product Manager at Legrand, North America

  • “When the Direct Recruiters team originally contacted me regarding the position for which I am currently employed I told them “no thanks.” Things were going very well at my previous company and I had no reason to explore other opportunities. They followed back up with me and encouraged me to have a conversation with the hiring manager as they felt strongly about the opportunity and that I was the right fit for the position. I took their advice and I am certainly glad I did. The DRI team was extremely helpful throughout the entire interviewing and hiring process. I would definitely recommend working with DRI if you have the opportunity!”

    Rob Warfield, Southeast Channel Manager at Prismview

  • “I had such a great experience with Direct Recruiters. This was my first time ever being fit for a position by a recruiter and it was really great. Their team made sure I had all the tools I needed to be successful during the interview process and not only made sure the fit was right for the hiring company but also the right fit for me. The DRI team is very thorough and took consideration of my needs and wants as well as the company they were recruiting for. They gave me productive feedback and had timely follow-up. I would 100% work with them again and have also already referred my colleagues and friends to DRI.”

    Jaimie Norris, Channel Sales Executive, Ringlogix

  • “DRI worked with me about 9 months ago. I was very skeptical when they first reached out and I normally don’t go down the recruiter path. But after talking for a little bit and hearing what the team had to say I decided I could trust their word. Then DRI helped me through the whole process even with some challenges that came up and warned me about what was going to happen before it happened. And through it all they were there to talk about what was going on and how things would move forward. Now I love my job and my team and it all comes down to the great work that DRI did.”

    Jeffrey Van Houten, Channel Sales Manager at Prismview

  • “Working with DRI was a pure joy. Their team is professional, informative and supportive and helped guide me during the interviewing process. Thank you Direct Recruiters for an incredible placement!”

    David Smith, EVP Healthcare at ElectrifAi

  • “I’d like to recommend the Executive Search firm of Direct Recruiters Inc (DRI). I recently had the pleasure of working with them as they represented me in a search. Working with both Michael Silverstein and Stephen Benson was a great experience. What first impressed me is how they listened and really got to know me. They understood what I was looking for. Next, working with Stephen and his ability to articulate my strengths and value to prospective companies was critical. Ensuring that I was well aligned with what the prospective company was looking for. Last, having a team that sticks with you (my search took 5 months) and helps provide insights and guidance along the way was invaluable. Five weeks into my new role and I’m still in touch with Michael and Stephen as they are interested in making sure that my new role starts off strong.”

    Michael Arbaugh, Candidate

  • “DRI has been absolutely great to work with on both sides of the equation. They have been able to field solid candidates for consideration but have also assisted me as a candidate. Excellent communication and truly cares about what they are doing!”

    Mark Dunham, Global Healthcare Analytics Sales at Medidata Solutions (Life Science company)

  • “Josh was a pleasure to work with and is a consummate professional. He carefully addressed each of my questions/concerns thoroughly and was transparent in all communications. It was evident early on that he is a seasoned veteran in the robotics industry and was very knowledgeable about the client/employer relationship, ensuring everyone’s needs were addressed. They say the best compliment is a referral – I have already passed his name along and plan to do so in the future. Thanks Josh!”

    Amanda Sprinkle, Candidate

  • “I’ve worked with many recruiters But Josh’s level of commitment and detail to his clients are second to none. Communication and honesty is key when working in this field and Josh does both extremely well! I highly recommend Josh if you are looking for a position in Robotics and/or Automation – you will know exactly where you are in the process at all times with Josh and you won’t be disappointed. He is very good at placing people and ensuring a great cultural fit!”

    Amber Fulmer, Candidate

  • “Josh is the most “career development” focused recruiter I’ve ever worked with. He is diligent with his questioning and coaching with every client, which helps ensure the client/employer relationship fits well for both parties. If you’re looking for a recruiter that listens and listens well, look no further!”

    Andrew Jones, Candidate

  • “I’ve enjoyed working with Stephen, as he brought a wonderful opportunity to my attention. He knew I would be a great fit for a new role at Xealth. He is an excellent communicator and made sure I was informed throughout the process. I felt like I could contact him with any questions and he always was able to get me the answers to help me feel reassured. I have worked with many recruiters in the past, who have been great; Stephen is definitely highly recommended.”

    Stephanie Trowbridge, Candidate

  • “As someone who does not change positions often, I rely on professionals to properly market my skills and prepare me for the change. The DRI team was consummate professionals through the process of my last career change. They were very helpful in every step of the process – from resume enhancement to social media exposure to interview prep, DRI guided me through the maze. They were always available to me before, during, and after the process. I couldn’t give a more positive recommendation for the work DRI did for me.”

Then they provided accurate details about a role and a company that aligned well with myself.

I highly recommend that you share your story with DRI as well.”

    Chris Riddle, Senior Account Executive – Leidos Health

  • “I had the pleasure to work with the team at DR on an opportunity that lead to the next phase in my career.

    Mike Patrick, Ability Network

They wanted the best for me and that was made clear by their actions – not just her words.”

    T.B. – Candidate

  • “Steadfast is how I would describe DRI. I had the opportunity to work with DRI in filling a sales position. DRI’s continued and constant attention was crucial in finding the right candidate. I greatly appreciate the diligence in finding quality candidates rather than simply pushing resumes to me. As a recruiter, DRI has my complete trust.”

    Kyle Kraudy, General Manager – Conductix-Wampfler Group

  • “DRI helped me immensely during the recruitment process. Their professional approach is only matched by their dedication to represent their candidates.

    I would recommend DRI to anybody, a very hard worker.”

    Edward Galante, Candidate

  • “As a sales leader, I get approached often by recruiters claiming they can bring me the best talent on the market. At Experian Health, when we hire new sales associates we take a lot of time and care in the hiring process. We invest significantly in our team during onboarding so making the wrong hire can set us back. We also protect our culture, which is one of high performance, teamwork and authenticity. Consistently, time and time again, Mike and Direct Recruiters have brought me candidates that are not only top industry talent but also fit right into the culture we work so hard to maintain. I would recommend Direct Recruiters as your hiring partner to anyone who asks.”

    Nicole Rogas, Senior Vice President, Sales – Experian Health

  • “I’ve recently used Direct Recruiters for three very important strategic searches and they have delivered great candidates every time. In the specialized niches of healthcare IT, it is very challenging to find executives who have the combination of domain expertise along with excellent management skills. In each search, Mike and Steve were able to provide exceptional candidates who had exactly what we were looking for. They took the time to carefully understand our specific needs so that they used our time efficiently by only providing introductions that were a good fit. In my 25 years of operating experience, I have worked with many executive search firms and I would put the healthcare team at Direct Recruiters at the top.”

    Claude Hooton, President & Chief Operating Officer – NucleusHealth

  • “DRI is great to work with! Their communication and responsiveness was excellent. The DRI team does a fantastic job of making sure the position was a good fit for me and I was a good fit for the position.

    Kevin Garben, Business Development Manager at Conductix-Wampfler

  • “The DRI team were absolute professionals and a pleasure to work with during my job search! Within hours of reaching out to them, they had me on the phone going through my experience and qualifications in an effort to connect me with the right opportunity. DRI’s guidance, patience in listening to my needs made for a most pleasant and swift experience! I would highly recommend DRI based on my positive experience. Within days of speaking to them, I was fortunate to have my first interview and have since accepted the position. I am grateful to the DRI team for their support!”

    Todd Danforth, Candidate

  • The Direct Recruiters team was an absolute delight to work with and they were superb teammates in helping me acquire the job of my dreams. They were very honest when it came to expectations and always took the time to help me prepare for interviews with informative follow-ups. DRI sincerely cared about my progress and took the time to really understand what I wanted.

    I will continue to recommend DRI to friends, family, and colleagues. I had an extremely positive experience with their team and can’t say enough about their dedication and persistence.

    Alex Ballinger, Candidate

  • DRI understands clients’ needs and requirements. You can tell they really take the time to find out what the profile is of the candidate they’re looking to fill a position. This came through when DRI initially reached out to me, described the position, and it matched perfectly to my background and abilities. The DRI team’s professionalism and knowledge continued through the entire process as they guided me on what areas of concern might be and personalities of the interviewers so I could prepare. Their guidance helped immensely along with following up consistently and timely on both sides of the process making sure to keep the momentum going. I definitely was successful because of the work DRI put into the process and time spent with me.

    Mark Zaner, Candidate

  • In the past I was reluctant to work with recruiters on career opportunities, honestly because I felt like I was strictly a commodity to most. But not DRI. The DRI team took the time to make sure the opportunity was a good fit for all involved. They got me detailed answers to my questions and in a timely manner. I’d get update calls even when there was not much to report; which if you’ve been there you know phone silence is a killer when you’re waiting for good news. I have the utmost of confidence in DRI’s abilities and commitment to their clients, on both sides. I have no problem referring them to friends and colleagues because I know they will do their best to place them in a position that is a good fit, not just what’s available to make a commission.

    Ralph McQuaid, Candidate

  • “I started working with DRI about 7 years ago and it was honestly because Jason Herbert was different from other recruiters. Instead of sending a bunch of resumes that never fit the bill, Jason prequalified and screened candidates to present the right fit. Two of the reasons we continue to work with Direct Recruiters are that they find the talent to meet the position requirements and always provides a follow-up to make sure the person is a good hire. They have made my job as a Director of Human Resources much easier because I have basically outsourced high level sales and engineer roles to them which allows me to focus on the positions that are easy for me to fill quickly. More importantly, we have worked with DRI to hire strategic leaders in our organization that have really helped us grow significantly as a company over the last 5 years. I would recommend Direct Recruiters to others with high-level searches; I have worked with Cherie Shepard in addition to Jason Herbert, and they both provide the same great, consistent service. It is clear that DRI’s core values are instilled in several recruiters because the approach is always the same, which is good.”

    Machelle Johnson, HR Director – Pearson Packaging Systems

  • “I am now three weeks into my dream job and it is everything I hoped it would be. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Steve’s help.

    Throughout the process of landing my new position, Steve was an invaluable aid. First, he found a warm introduction to the CEO of the company I wanted to pursue. Then, throughout the process of landing the position, he and the staff he works with provided support at every step of the way while still recognizing my expertise and the fact that I needed to make the final decisions on how to proceed.

    If you are an executive looking for a move, I would highly encourage you to reach out to Steve, you will be glad you did.”

    R.W., Candidate

  • “Norm has assisted us in finding a number of positions; including several of our ASMs, our Director of Operations and our VP of Sales. The VP role is a key position that leads and creates a great deal of our company’s success, hence it was especially complex and he delivered exactly what we needed. Norm has been a critical resource in finding great talent in a very specialized industry for us. Since my first conversation with him, I knew he was a true collaborator, he was extremely well-connected in the industry, and he understood the importance of confidentiality. Norm continued to educate me on key items in the industry and always had time to discuss thoughts on a candidate, brainstorm ideas, and determine the most effective offer. He not only focuses on the details of the job, but the culture and personality that will be successful. We always felt like a top priority working with Norm and I can’t recommend Norm enough for organizations looking to partner with a recruiter to find candidates that fit the role, culture and compensation.”

    HR Director – Voalte

  • “Steve did a fantastic job working with me on placement. His follow-up and communication skills ensured I found a role that was suited to my professional needs and his astute assessment of personalities further sealed my role in my current company.”

He builds comradery and lasting relationships with his clients. He continues to keep in touch and has made my transition into this new role as seamless and comfortable as possible. The customer service I received was far above expectations.”

    Kelli Crook, Candidate

  • “Working with Mike and Steve at Direct Recruiters exceeded my expectations. We have successfully worked with Direct Recruiters in the past and our CEO had a prior relationship with them. They have known us for a long time and really get our culture. Mike and Steve assisted us in filling the Regional Director of Sales role in a difficult geographical territory; they provided a number of candidates, of which we ultimately hired one. I was most pleased with the DRI teams’s communication style along with the detail they provided with their resume submissions, and their professionalism. They vet candidates thoroughly and to the specifications provided, they are extremely responsive, and they are very up front and honest. DRI is top notch as far as a recruitment agency – I would recommend them in a heartbeat. I truly hope to watch them succeed and will definitely engage them again if/when needed.”

    Senior Recruiter at a Healthcare IT Consulting Firm

  • “I have worked with placement firms on a few occasions, and working with Stephen was easily the best experience I’ve had. He’s fun to work with, listens to your goals, and most importantly; executes on a plan to achieve them. When he finds something that is consistent with your needs, you can expect an unsolicited dossier of information on the people, company, and culture, making the process seamless and easy. A++”

    Jim Ford, Candidate

  • “DRI goes above and beyond any recruiters I’ve worked with.”

    B.B. – Candidate

  • “I’ve had a habit of ignoring notes from recruiters in the past. However, with DRI’s area of expertise, I thought a conversation might be interesting and responded to their first note. We had a great first chat and I finished that with the expectation that I might hear something back in a month or two depending on the opportunities that came up. Surprisingly DRI was able to present an opening that was a perfect fit for me the next day! They did a great job arranging details and getting me prepared for interviews. DRI was very capable of making sure that I had what I needed at each stage and ultimately helped me land my new position, which I am enjoying very much!”

    Gerald Willis, Product Manager of Nuvo & On-Q Audio at Legrand, North America

  • “DRI was very helpful in my search for my next opportunity. Their team is articulate, knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with. They get 5 out of 5 stars from me.”

    Scott R. – Candidate

  • “Stephen is an incredible teammate in the search process – he is fully engaged, proactive, and most importantly wants the best possible fit for all constituents. In today’s fast paced hiring environment Stephen instills a personal, high-touch approach which allows for purposeful interactions with potential employers. He gets to know you at the very core allowing him to truly understand where one will be successful. I would highly recommend working with Stephen as you look to make a change.”

    Morley Johnson – Candidate

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with DRI for the past month. They are highly professional, prompt, and excellent with following through.

They know the business of recruiting and has mastered their tradecraft to get all of the individuals they work with the opportunity to find the jobs of their dreams!

    I would highly recommend DRI to anyone looking to transition to a new job opportunity or has questions on the process involved.”

    Devon Dyett – Candidate

  • “Having worked with Direct Recruiters in the past, on more traditional searches, I came back to them with a uniquely challenging opportunity. I essentially needed a unicorn. Most search firms would have backed away but the DRI team was up for the challenge. More impressively, they were receptive to my coaching, provided a steady stream of potential candidates, and listened carefully to my feedback on search criteria and how their candidates might be improved. In the end, I found my unicorn and couldn’t be happier.”

    Kirk Sudheimer, General Manager – DNAnexus

Overall it was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend using Jason Herbert as your recruiter.”

    Martin Hack, VP and General Manager – L.B. Bohle, LLC

  • “Jason at Direct Recruiters exceeded my expectations with his understanding of the Packaging industry, and with his process of listening to what we were looking for in a candidate then finding the right talent for us. Working with Jason, we found a very good candidate who took the position and shows signs of promise to be a great hire. Jason’s professionalism and organization were key in the whole process. Jason really excels at listening to us on the front end to know exactly what we look for in a candidate. I certainly would recommend Jason at Direct Recruiters as it was a great experience for us.”

Most of all, I feel fortunate to have been represented by DRI because I landed a position that is an excellent fit for me with a great organization. I’m very happy with my decision.

    K.J. – Candidate

  • “Working with Direct Recruiters exceeded my expectations. When looking for a search firm, the number one priority for us is to find a firm who thoroughly vets out candidates and asks detailed questions to candidates prior to sending them over to me. While they did a great job vetting out the candidates, Direct Recruiters also caught our eye with a unique program they have in Direct Retention. Having a guarantee that was more than 60 to 90 days to ensure we made the best hire was very appealing to us. I would absolutely recommend Direct Recruiters and Direct Retention for high level searches because of their exceptional follow-through, good flow of quality candidates, and they are very thorough. David and the team at Direct Recruiters were fabulous and I really enjoyed the experience working with them.”

They worked diligently through the entire process of matching me to an employer’s position, advocating on my behalf, guiding me, coaching me, supporting me, and closing the deal with the employer. I have never had an experience with recruiters that were as personal, complete, and valuable as I did working with the DRI team. I owe them tremendous gratitude.”

    Justin O’Connor, Product Marketing Manager, Install and Rental at Bose Corporation

  • “Direct Recruiters and Cherie Shepard have been my partners for the better part of 13 years, of which 10 I have been in a managerial role responsible for acquiring new talent. I was hired as a candidate through them and now I work to hire through them as a hiring manager and it has been a pleasure working with them throughout the process whether I was a candidate or a hiring manager. Working with Cherie and Direct Recruiters is easy and painless. They’re educated about what they do, they understand the business atmosphere, and they understand the needs of the organization they’re working with. Throughout the process, Cherie continuously follows-up to ensure that our needs are being met.

    Jim Spera, Regional Sales Manager – AmbaFlex

  • “I have worked with DRI as a candidate being recruited, but also as a client where they work to fill roles for me. In either scenario, DRI set the bar high and has maintained that high level with each interaction. Certainly, you know you’re dealing with a professional person in a professional organization when you’re talking to anyone at DRI. They understand how to move quickly, stay in touch, and communicate professionally, yet is easy to talk to. They consistently take the time to understand about the individual being recruited, while also setting expectations and helping the hiring manager establish expectations. I would 100% recommend working with DRI as both a candidate and a client. It all goes back to the professionalism, consistency and follow-up. Overall, it is clear that there is a formula DRI has that their recruiters follow when it comes to a process, and consistency and a strong process is incredibly important to me.”

    Steve DeVries, General Manager – NEIT

  • “Working with DRI was a great experience. They showed me different options as far as opportunities out there, and was very quick getting back to me right away. The team was attentive to what I was looking for in employment and very persistent in making sure that I got what I asked for. We had only spoken about 2 weeks at the most before I landed the interview with the company I’m with right now. I got the job within 3 weeks, so it exceeded my expectations and was very easygoing and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend working with the DRI team because of the great customer service and attention to detail as far as what I was looking for.”

    Robert Perez – Candidate

    Steve Protz, Candidate

  • “I was so fortunate to connect with DRI! Within minutes of messaging their team, they introduced me to 5 opportunities that were all great fit. By the next day I had two phone interviews set up. I can’t say enough positives things about my experience with Direct Recruiters. If you’re looking at exploring a new career, start with DRI!”

    James Burns, Candidate

  • “The DRI team definitely exceeded my expectations. I’ve been contacted by and worked with several recruiting firms over the years. I can safely say that DRI stands head and shoulders above anyone I’ve dealt with before. I was most impressed with how engaged they were and their passion for doing the best job possible. Despite being a matter of business, I always felt that they included a personal facet in it that kept it from being a cold transaction. I felt that DRI did an outstanding job and I have actually already recommended DRI to several of my peers. I would offer this analogy about my experience with DRI: I have been managing mechanics & technicians for decades. I have seen them all outfitted with the same tools. Despite that, there will always be the “Rock Stars” that can outperform their peers. DRI is a “Rock Star!” in my opinion.”

    Paul Swallow – Service Manager, NEIT

  • In our CEO search, we were looking to fill the role with someone to set the tone for the entire company, with industry knowledge, integrity, and leadership, who could take us to the next level. For such an instrumental and integral position in our company, we expanded our search efforts past our regular executive search firm. After contacting several firms, Cherie Shepard at Direct Recruiters stood out above the rest and really took the time to understand our needs. Cherie was willing to take on the challenge of filling the CEO role, knowing that she might be focusing her whole team on the project, and that’s what we look for in a consultative executive search firm.

    Throughout the process working with Direct Recruiters, I was most impressed with the constant and in-depth communication we were provided. Cherie always had our best interest at heart to make sure we found the right candidate and took the time to get to know our company culture from the start, which was very important. She blew us away with her approach and genuinely cared about taking the time to understand our company, the role, and our needs.
    Three top reasons I would recommend using Direct Recruiters for high level searches like our CEO search, would be:

    1. Ability to adapt quickly. With our unique industry, Cherie was quick to get to know what we were looking for and our industry, which she exceled at because of her communication and dedication to us.

    2. Personable communication. It never felt like we were just one of many clients. Communication was efficient, responsive, personable, and we always got the attention we needed from the DRI team.

    3. Forward thinking. Cherie constantly went through the strides to prepare us. We had frequent updates from her and she was always ahead of it!

    Overall, working with Direct Recruiters for our CEO role was a professional, delightful and insightful experience. We had so much success with DRI that we will continue to use Cherie and the DRI team for our future high-level positions.

    David Lopez, Candidate

  • ‘Ridiculously efficient’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about DRI. I had the pleasure of working with the team at Direct Recruiters. They understood my needs and ambitions and was able to place me in a great company. I was particularly impressed by DRI’s ability to handle my process until this day. They made sure I was making the right move not only for me but also for my family. As an executive recruitment firm, DRI earns my highest recommendation.

    Helmuth Aboites Hintze, Materials Manager – Buckhorn Inc.

  • “Working with DRI’s Direct Retention program and services exceeded my expectations. What I was most pleased with was the fact that DRI did not inundate me with candidates. They kept me out of the process until the very end. At that point it was very clear that DRI had a handful of qualified candidates. That helped me optimize my time utilization, which was the most important thing from a process perspective. The second most important thing in this process was that DRI was able to do this in the timeframe we agreed on. Compared to other recruiters, DRI actually did the real work of screening candidates instead of just spending 6 weeks e-mailing me 3 times a day with resumes. I wanted someone who would provide the HR function of a true skilled recruiting effort, and DRI did a great job with that. I would and already have recommended DRI’s Direct Retention program and services to others.”

    Franco DeBlasio, CEO – Clear Automation

  • “DRI might be the most professional group I’ve ever worked with; and when we will be growing and hiring, DRI will be my first call when that time comes.”

    J.B. – Candidate

  • DRI is one of the best healthcare IT and digital solutions recruiting firms we have worked with. They are extremely active and engaged in the market finding the best and brightest talent in the industry. Due to the focus and energy they put into every project, DRI makes you feel like you are their only client due to the dedication and commitment they put forward. Outstanding.

    Kurt Blasena, Chief Revenue Officer – HealthGrades

  • While I was working on a key executive role at Vitals, DRI reached out to see if I needed any help. I had a decent pipeline of candidates that I had in the mix but knowing how important the role was I thought it could not hurt to give them a shot. The DRI team was able to identify and place the best candidate for this role. Their follow up throughout the process was fantastic. Every step of the way from interview to start date, DRI was “on top of it”.

    Regina Rear-Connor, Talent Acquisition Leader – Vitals

  • The team at DRI is great at sizing up a situation and identifying what is really important. They are straightforward and follows through, adding value with insights and suggestions.
    As a trusted coach, DRI guides the process to achieve results.

    Tim Knoll – Senior Director, Enterprise Solutions at Healthgrades

  • “You’re making a mistake if you categorize Ryan Lange as a “recruiter.” Ryan and the team at DRI go far beyond the services of what most think of when they say the word “recruiter.” They take a genuine interest in your business to ensure they not only get the right candidate for your role but also do right by the candidate who is making a career change.

    I first began working with DRI in 2004 when my friends acquired a $5M manufacturing company. We were tasked with a turn-around effort that was rather serious. With the help of Ryan and DRI, we upgraded 83% of the talent in the company. The new team we brought together produced 4 times revenue and 3.5 times EBITDA in only four years. This success would not have been possible without the help of Ryan/DRI. After we sold the company, I brought Ryan along at our next venture where we had similar success. Upon my departure there, Ryan helped me build a team while I was responsible for a $250M division of a Fortune 50 company. Simply put, DRI has helped me find world class talent for well over a decade; whether running a private small manufacturing company or global division of a large corporation.

    In my opinion, hiring a “recruiter” is foolish. Partnering with Ryan and DRI is an intelligent business decision. I’d highly recommend trying to get them as your partner if you desire results.”

    B.U.

  • “Working with Tom and his team at DRI on a search to fill a President & COO position exceeded my expectations. I was most pleased with the quick responses, updates, and Tom’s ability to find the candidate we hired in a relatively short amount of time. I would absolutely recommend Tom at DRI because he listened to our needs, he was diligent in terms of communication and he was professional throughout the process, not only with us, but the candidate as well. I look forward to working with Tom on future positions.”

    Director of Talent Acquisition, Client Organization

  • “When Aaron contacted me at the end of last year I was not in the market to make a move from Verizon, but he was the best recruiter that I’ve ever worked with in my 25+ year career. He worked diligently to keep everyone in the loop during the entire interview process and nine interviews later I’m thrilled to be working at a company that cares about their people more than the bottom line. I have Aaron to thank for my success and would recommend anyone that I cared for to contact him if interested in finding a good fit for the next move in their career.”

    D.W.

  • “Norm rocks! He gets it!
    He asks questions and gathers as much information as possible, from both clients and candidates. He knows the company, culture, benefits, and has insights into the hiring manager. Invaluable information when considering a new long-term opportunity.
    Norm’s genuine, an efficient communicator, and provides invaluable tools and input for interviewing and follows up after you’re in to ensure it was the best fit. To this extent, Norm is the best at going over and beyond the standard recruiter approach.
    I recommend him to any colleague seeking a new opportunity.

    … they take pride in making the best matches,”

    Susan Blakely – VP of Sales, Medisolv

  • “It has been a pleasure getting to know Norm and having the opportunity to work with him on a number of pursuits. Norm is an industry insider and expert which always puts him ahead of the trends and fads. Norm is a long term partner in my career and I am proud to have him as a mentor and coach.”

    Sam Godwin – VP Global Sales – Home Health, NetComm Wireless

  • “I’ve had the opportunity to speak to many recruiters, however, there is a reason Aaron is the only one in my phone book. From my first interaction with Aaron, he took the time to learn about me, my dreams, my goals, and my passions; From the bat, this set him apart from others simply trying to push opportunities my way. We continued to work together for a number of months until ultimately finding my perfect position. Aaron made sure to prep me for every interview and gave great insight, and followed up religiously. I’m coming up on 6 months with Zoll. Never been happier. Q4 of last year was great, the territory met its first annual ever doing 177%. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many people who have worked with Aaron, and they all rave about his passion and ability to connect people with what THEY want. I would highly recommend Aaron to find people for your company, as well as working with Aaron on your dream position. Keep up the great work!”

  • “I have used Ryan to fill positions on several occasions. I found his dedication to the client and attention to the customer to be very high. There was never a time when I felt like I wasn’t informed and up to date on my project. I always felt that Ryan provided current information and advice that empowered me to make the right decisions. I felt that our hiring process was very well-defined, effective and efficient because of the work that Ryan and his team did pre-qualifying candidates they presented to us. We were always presented candidates who were very highly qualified and matched the culture of our organization and its goals.”

    “I would highly recommend Ryan and the team at DRI for hiring assistance. They take the time to truly understand the client’s needs in the position they are searching for as well as making sure they fully understand the client’s organizational culture, environment, and working environment. They take the time to pre-qualify the candidates and ensure the candidates they recommend are a positive fit for the client and meet the client’s expectations for that position. I truly appreciate the follow-up e-mails and calls from Ryan even if we are not in the hiring mode. It helps me understand if there are qualified candidates who we may not be considering. Ryan always makes a point of stopping by to visit in person during our major trade shows to ensure he is up to date on our projects and potential needs.”

  • “As we all have experienced, there are contacts in business that do what is required and others that are true professionals. Cherie is one of those that elevates above the crowd. She not only pays close attention to the details but also keeps in personal contact during a negotiation that requires more than email contact.”

    Arnold Lawner – East Coast Sales Manager, Point Five Packaging

  • “We had used Cherie to fill a very difficult and complex role in our organization. Cherie really helped with the whole process from refining the job description, to identifying key skill sets, and evaluating each candidate. Communication with Cherie was great and I felt extremely prepared during interviews which made our hiring process much easier.”

    William Minaeff – Head of North American Implementation, Korber Medipak

  • “Having dealt with several professional recruiters over the years I know that Cherie is the very best. She is professional, open, and very detail oriented. She is extremely knowledgeable about the packaging industry and it was a pleasure to work with her.”

    Jeff Rawes – Product & Application Manager, Bizerba USA

  • “There were a number of things that caught my attention from the very first interaction with DRI recruiters. Their interpersonal skillset is exceedingly good, they related to me on a personal level as well as a very professional level, but were also very interested in what was important to me as an individual and seemed to never lose sight of that. DRI has been exceedingly responsive and equal parts proactive. I always felt very comfortable giving them feedback and they listened to understand more and more what I was looking for. Without question I would recommend the DRI team. I have had a unique position of being both the candidate and hiring manager for DRI and they were beyond professional with me on both sides of that equation. I think DRI clearly instills some very strict and stringent expectations on their team members, and that is very reflective of the organizational structure and leadership.”

    Denny Kryder – VP of Sales, Vistage Worldwide

  • “Kasey did a great job. She kept in regular contact to update me on what was happening behind the scenes, and prepping me for each of my interactions with the client. Once I had an offer, she probed for feedback to meet my expectations for the position and address any concerns I had. Kasey stayed on top of the overall process on both sides so it didn’t stall, communicating on a regular basis, but not constant. In my situation I believe she did all she could in a very positive way. If she gives each of her candidates and clients that level of service she will continue to be very successful. I would absolutely recommend working with Kasey at DRI. She did an excellent job of listening and understanding both sides of the process. She communicated effectively where we matched and what items were yet to be defined or clarified. In the end, she made certain every item was addressed for both sides. Kasey did a nice job of staying assertive in the process without crossing over to becoming aggressive. I enjoyed working with her.”

    Chris Fowler – VP Channel Partnership, Medicom

  • “Kasey and her team at DRI continue to exceed our expectations. They consistently go above and beyond to learn more about our open roles as well as continue to show us really strong talent. Kasey is very organized in her communication and always sends the information we ask for in a concise manner. She is quick to provide additional information and gives insight above and beyond what we ask of her, and she is consistent in her follow-up. I definitely would recommend Kasey and her team at DRI. Whether you don’t have the bandwidth to fill a role or just aren’t seeing the right talent, Kasey and her team are always able to tell us what the market has to offer and show us talent we otherwise wouldn’t have connected with. Kasey is a pleasure to work with.”

    Kate Devereux – Recruiter, Strata Decision Technology

  • “The DRI team met my expectations 100 percent. They moved very quickly on the interview process and all of the follow-ups. Any time I had a question, they had an answer. I was most pleased with the direct communications with DRI. They worked out all the details that made the transition a positive experience and always had my best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend the team at DRI as they are very professional and prompt.”

    V.D.

  • “Working with Ryan and his team as a candidate exceeded my expectations. They consistently communicated with me to provide updates throughout the job interview process. I have and will continue to recommend Ryan and his team at DRI because I know a candidate can count on them to place him or her in the best job situation possible based on individual career goals.”

    “From a client perspective, Ryan and his team were consistently communicating with me to provide updates on the status of each candidate. They did a great job defining the goals of each candidate so we knew as much as possible going into the interview process. I have and will recommend Ryan and his team at DRI because I know a company can count on them to find the best candidates possible that fit the company’s culture and goals.”

    P.E.

  • “Ryan is an extremely professional and detail-oriented recruiter. He creates a bridge between the hiring company and the candidate, relaying the specifics of the job that go beyond the job description. Ryan articulates the needs and key objectives of the role and makes sure that the candidate is best informed on it before he/she goes in for the interview. I was most impressed by Ryan’s prompt follow up every step along the way from phone screen, to the interview, and the offer process. Ryan and DRI are not in it just for the transaction; They are in it for a long-term relationship. He even checked in after I had started and had been in the role for about a month. I would not hesitate recommending Ryan and his team at DRI for those who are looking at connecting with a recruiter to chart their career forward.”

    “Ryan and his team at DRI are extremely competent and effective in understanding your needs as a hiring manager, calibrating on the type of candidate, and then sourcing the best candidates for the role. Ryan will seek feedback on the sourced candidates and keep in constant contact so you know where things stand. He is proactive in providing feedback and will make adjustments as needed as you focus your needs. I would not hesitate recommending Ryan and his team at DRI to hiring managers looking to find the right candidates for their team.”

  • “I first met Kasey at a conference about 5 years ago where I was manning a booth with colleagues. She approached us to exchange business cards and introduce herself, and she impressed me with how polished and professional she was. Since then, Kasey has done an excellent job keeping in touch with me, which led her to placing me in my current position at xScion. The whole process working with Kasey was great, and I am really enjoying my position with xScion. In my field, good sales people know the importance of building relationships, finding pain points and challenges, and talking about how they might be able to help- Kasey exemplifies many of these things that I do in my career. Across the board, it has been a really great experience working with Kasey at DRI.”

    Paul McBride – Client Partner – Healthcare, xScion Solutions

  • “Kasey provided quality candidates to us and was very responsive to us and our needs in terms of timing and follow-up. I have already recommended Kasey and the team at DRI for various reasons. They take the time to understand your business and your specific needs, they ask good questions about the individual you are looking for, and they do a nice job of honing in on the right candidates. Kasey and her team do true recruiting and find the people who are successful in current positions and get them engaged for a new opportunity.”

    Will Sigsbee – CEO, Medicom Health Interactive

  • “We appreciate Ryan and his team’s approach to helping us find quality candidates. They are extremely efficient, sincerely understand our company needs, and consistently communicate throughout the process. They put in the work to understand how our team thinks to make things work well for everyone involved.”

    K.S.

  • “I worked with Ryan and the DRI team as a candidate first, then as a client, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations throughout both instances. I was most pleased with the level of communication and the consistency of Ryan and his team. As a candidate, one of the best things they provided was coaching throughout the process and setting me up for success in all aspects. Working with Ryan and his team as a hiring manager, they were very persistent and showed great tenacity during their pursuit of candidates, and held the same high level of communication and coaching throughout. I would recommend Ryan and his team at DRI to other clients and candidates without question, and I truly look forward to working with them moving forward as other positions come available.”

  • “I have had the honor of working with Ryan Lange and his team at Direct Recruiters for the past 5 years. As a National Sales Manager, I have needed assistance in recruiting and selecting a number of candidates over the years. After a comprehensive discussion of our organizational requirements, Ryan quickly finds numerous qualified candidates, helps to schedule all the interviews, and coordinates the communications. The process of recruiting and interviewing talent while conducting day-to-day business can be challenging, but DRI makes it much easier. The candidates DRI recruits are always solid performers, fit the needs of the organization, and ultimately help our company deal with the challenges of onboarding new talent. I have hired a number of the candidates presented by the DRI team and wouldn’t hesitate to call Ryan Lange the next time I have an open requisition. I recommend Ryan and DRI to any hiring manager looking for a consultative approach, strong candidates and comprehensive assistance in the hiring process.”

    J.O.

  • “After 20 years in the computer industry, I can confidently say, Ryan is the best recruiter that I have worked with. Regardless of the type of position, Ryan consistently provided higher quality talent, in a shorter timeframe, than any other recruiters. One of the things that sets Ryan apart is his collaborative approach to recruiting. He works with you to draw out the specific requirements for each position. Then, as you move through the interview and hiring process, he works with you to refine the search and make sure you get the right candidate. Once you are ready to hire, he works with you to craft the right offer and bring the hire home. I can’t say enough about the quality of candidates. Ryan does an excellent job filtering candidates and only present those that match the requirements. Working with Ryan means I never have to settle for talent that is just “good enough”. I would and have recommended DRI on several occasions.”

Kasey and the team were always keeping me in the loop with preparation and what to expect next. I was impressed with the teamwork DRI displayed, as I also interacted with Mike as well at times. The group together made sure that I was informed, and always knew what was going on from all sides, which was fantastic.”

    Hugh McClearn, Candidate

    Jim Thompson – Sr. Business Development Manager, M*Modal

  • “I am currently working with DRI to fill multiple open positions within one of my senior level teams. DRI spent time with me upfront of the candidate screening process to understand the role, the requirements for a successful hire and my management style. The effort DRI has put in has yielded a pool of candidates that match my needs for skill set, experience and salary requirements thus allowing me to expedite the review, selection, interview and offer process.

    Tim Blackmon, Chief Information Officer

  • “For me the whole entire experience the DRI team was just excellent. I was able to work with DRI from the client perspective looking for support in our recruiting efforts, and then also from a candidate perspective. From the client perspective I think that it was just top notch all around and very understood what we were looking for from a skill level but also from a company culture perspective. The level of communication and the way things were discussed and communicated was very to the point with dedicated components. Communication was flawless throughout. Something else I would mention about DRI, is when I started at my new company they had made it a point to reach out to me personally the day I started to wish me well on my first day. Working with DRI never felt like it was about volumes of deals that can be brought placing candidates at companies or a transactional type of relationship. The experience felt very much integrated and partnered rather than client business. I know full well anytime someone is looking for a job I will be recommending DRI.”

    Joshua Elvert – Business Development Manager, PRC Clinical

  • “I would highly recommend DRI to others. They were very thorough, professional and good at their jobs. DRI knew exactly what the client was looking for and approached me with a position I was very interested in, so I knew they had done their homework in that regard.

    Greg Baitt, Candidate

  • “DRI is very thorough. I was able to get a position in the eclinical/clinical trials industry with their ability to get to know me, my skills, and my experience and present me based off of that. DRI does a very good job and is strong with positioning the right people to prospective employers especially when moving outside of an industry. I give them kudos because my interactions with them were refreshing in a world that you could get frustrated with recruiters. DRI should be the gold standard recruitment firms hold.”

    Jeff Coffman, Candidate

  • “I have worked with a couple recruiters at DRI and they’re both great to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure that I got everything that I needed and all my questions answered. I was most pleased with their response and follow-up time. I never had any questions about where I was in the process or what needed to be done. They both made sure I was prepared for all milestones of the process by sending me emails on how to prep interviews, information about the position and company, as well as info on how to resign… any and everything I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to others and have recommended them, again, because DRI has great people. They are very nice, friendly, open, honest, and candid about the process, where we were, or if there were going to be any complications or delays. I really enjoyed working with them throughout the process and would reach out to them again if need be.”

  • It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Dave Bevington, having connected with Dave mid 2016, he helped me through a process with which I had become unfamiliar. Specificity, finding a career opportunity with a high–tech company.

    Dave (with great professionalism) provided materials that would assist in making an impression with future employers, as one who had vast experience in the Motion Control segment (a highly technical and competitive industry), Dave enabled me to stand out from the crowd. He provided opportunities consistent with the needs we discussed. Dave would be efficient in his communications prior and post interview, helping me through each stage and ever willing to spend some time with me when questions and advice was needed

    Thanks to Dave , he placed me with one of the companies I have admired for more than two decades. His ability to get me an interview was based on his relationship with the employer. In the contemporary world of business, it is refreshing to experience this hands on relationship with a professional that has both your and the employers needs at the forefront.

    Dave negotiated on my behalf, with each successful interview, his preparation skills and foreknowledge of the process kept my mind at ease to focus on the task at hand.

    My final interview was in NOV ’16, and I will never forget sitting in the hotel, awaiting a meeting with the President of this High Tech Company. My phone rang and it was Dave with last second words of encouragement.

    Within an hour it was a privilege to call  Dave and inform him of OUR success in acquiring this fantastic career opportunity.

    It is with pleasure, I recommend Mr. Dave Bevington as a partner in locating your next career move, whether Corporate Executive, Engineer, Professional Sales, Mr. Bevington will be with you all the way.

Given all the priorities and lack of time on our side, Cherie has been able to give us the support we need to make quick hiring decisions and yet be very sensitive to our limited time. Our team would not have been as strong as it is today without her tireless assistance.”

  • “We gave Tom an extensive list of traits and characteristics that we were hoping for in a candidate and he was able to find someone that met all of those qualifications.  Tom delivered on what we were requesting, which we thought was a tall order, easily and in a short amount of time. The candidate that Tom presented and we hired is as good as advertised, and probably better.  He is doing great and I would imagine that we won’t have any issue with him being successful in the role he’s going to be in, based on what we have seen so far.  I would be happy to give Tom a referral to another client and talk with them about working with him.  It was great, an easy experience, and everything happened as he explained it would on a timeline that he helped develop.  Tom delivered on everything we asked for, so we were thrilled.”

    Brian J. – Brightstone

  • “Jason was direct, to the point, and found a great candidate within a matter of weeks for a role that we had tried to fill for 2 years.  We didn’t feel as though he was throwing several resumes at us to see if anything would stick, but rather screened well enough so that the candidates that came to us were well vetted.  Our team highly recommends Jason, and will certainly use him moving forward.”

    Jordan Berry – Director, HR

  • “Working with Dave been outstanding and unexpected. He has added a strong level of value through his willingness to be direct, high attentional to detail and responsiveness, and overall professionalism. He has totally changed my opinion of recruiters!”

  • “Matthew has been meeting my expectations both from a time perspective (finding qualified candidates in a timely manner), as well as bringing forth qualified candidates that meet many of our key job description requirements.   We have had a good success with the candidates DRI has brought forth in the past months.  I definitely would recommend DRI’s services to others based on the specific industry they are in and DR is able to support.   DRI’s focus on the lighting industry has made DRI one of our most effective recruiters.”

    G.D. – Vice President of Sales

  • “DRI worked hand in hand with me to see what our needs were and made sure that we got the right candidates. I was most happy with the communications back and forth between DRI and I. They were checking in almost every day, I was giving them feedback, and DRI respected my thoughts and what we were looking for in a candidate. I would recommend DRI to others because they will work with you to make sure they are sending candidates that are going to fit the company, not just because they are candidates in that field. If and when the time comes and we need to hire somebody else in the department, I will definitely reach out to DRI to see if they can help first.”

    T.S. – Hiring Manager

  • “The DRI Automation team met all expectations whenever we worked together… primarily because they were so thorough up front.  I was most pleased that DRI took the time to get to know Balluff and our team… even came down to Florence a couple of times.  We have a good, open communication that made it easy to work together.   The DRI team is direct, thorough and always in constant communication with me regarding any positions that they are working on with Balluff.  They quickly developed good working relationships with all of our hiring managers.  I always knew where the DRI team stood on any searches.  I felt that I could always trust them to deliver based on the expectations.  I would definitely recommend DRI.”

    Jenny Arbino – HR Director, Balluff

    Erik Lehto – Candidate

  • “Tom was great to work with.  I was most pleased with his follow-up, making sure all of my questions were answered, and he gave me a lot of pointers going into the interview process step-by-step the whole way through.  Tom always made sure everything was addressed.  I have already recommended Tom to two people because he is quick, knows the market, knows what his clients are looking for and the type of prospects he wants to bring to the table.  I will continue to recommend Tom to others.”

    S.G. – Business Development

  • “The Direct Recruiters team always provides us with very qualified candidates.  I am certainly impressed with their ability to hone in on specific skills sets especially when it comes to filling niche roles. In addition, they provide a summary of each candidate submitted which includes the candidate’s history, reason for changing jobs, salary history and expectations. This really helps me and all our hiring managers. No doubt, we heavily rely on DRI for their search acumen.

    Also, I have to say that the DRI team’s constant communication and follow through is outstanding.  They are great facilitators of interviews and definitely stay on top of things.  They have also gone above and beyond when it comes to scheduling meetings with National Sales Managers and we appreciate it.”

  • “Tom exceeded my expectations.  He was very professional, thorough, and went above and beyond.  Tom made the extra effort to make me comfortable throughout the process and make sure I was prepared.  He was well aware of the client he was placing me with and knew them very well.

  • “Speaking from personal experience, Tom and his team at DRI are simply the best executive search firm. “

    K.M. – Regional Director for Americas

  • “I have known Tom Clark for the better part of a decade. When he reconnected with me and told me about a career growth opportunity, I was not actively looking to change jobs.  But because of the respect I have for Tom and because I know him to be a genuine and motivated businessman who is a great developer of talent, I agreed to listen. I’m very fortunate I did. Tom found a position which not only helped me to immediately advance my career, but he also placed me in a leading, high growth company where I have room to continue growing. Tom does not stop with simply introducing candidates with employers.  If it were not for Tom’s superior communication, coaching, and negotiation I would not have landed in the Regional Transportation Manager role. It was obvious from the first conversation and was reaffirmed throughout the interviewing process that Tom is genuinely passionate about finding candidates and companies the perfect match. I would strongly recommend talking with Tom if you are a candidate looking to make a career change or a company wanting to hire top talent.”

    G.B. – Regional Transportation Manager

  • “DRI did a good job for my searches.  We have been very pleased with the candidate we hired with their help thus far.  I was most happy with the follow-up they provided to ensure we got the hiring process moved along.  I would recommend the DRI team to others.”

    Brian Michael – Regional Sales Manager, Balluff

  • “Trying to hire for our company is a challenging thing; the DRI team have consistently given us good candidates and helped in finding people who are not necessarily finding us.  I was happy that not only were they engaged and consistently sending over resumes, but also gave me extra background on the candidate to supplement the resume. DRI also helped in arranging meetings and calls which is helpful being on the road and traveling so often.  Overall, I have been happy with DRI.”

    Eric Langhorst – Western Zone Manager, WAGO

  • “The DRI team is my #1 source for candidates. Most of the resumes they send over hit the mark. They move the process along at a good pace and I appreciate that kind of search partner. But what I like best of all, is DRI’s consistent follow-up. That’s important to me.  Just recently, I recommended the DRI team to a company in Florida.”

    Mark Shirley – Zone Manager, Southeast United States, WAGO

  • “I have used Jason for several years now, and I keep working with him because he consistently produces high quality candidates who fit our culture.  He understands us very well as a client and I know I can always count on him.”

    Michelle Donnelly – HR, Intralox

  • “Tom is very thorough throughout the entire recruitment process.  He was most interested in my background information and what I was looking for before he even told me the details of the opportunity so that he could match the right opportunity.  During the process he coached me through every step of the way.  From the first call with the employer, to the face to face interview, to the employer taking my wife and myself out to dinner, Tom gave advice about what to expect for each step.  He even went as far as giving my wife advice on good questions to ask at the dinner and other things she may want to know.  With Tom, there was no stone left unturned.  I would absolutely recommend Tom to others looking for opportunities.”

    G.G. – Account Executive

  • “I contacted Jason, to help me find a high level executive sales management position. He has done an amazing job, learning my personality and what culture I would fit best.

  • Dave Bevington was very supportive and positive when I contacted him regarding my recent layoff which occurred prior to the holidays in 2015.  He encouraged me that this was a great time to be looking for a new career as companies were preparing to begin 2016 strong.

    Throughout the interviewing process, Dave provided me with constructive criticism, making sure my resume had a modern look and conveyed the details that perspective employers were looking for in a candidate. He provided me with training videos on telephone and in person interviewing skills, recommending I practice to assure that I would be prepared and not nervous.

    I felt very supported by Dave throughout the hiring process, he followed up with me regularly.  His communication style is very smooth and welcoming.

    I attribute my receiving on offer from the company we were working with as a direct result to Dave preparing me with my career search.

I’ll definitely be recommending Dave to any anyone looking for a new career in the industry.”

  • “Tom Clark and Randall Moores from Direct Recruiters facilitated an absolutely seamless transition from active duty military service to a phenomenal opportunity I would have never found on my own. Working with Direct Recruiters was a much different experience than many other firms specifically focused on placing junior military officers separating from military service. Instead of quickly ushering me to the next hiring conference or similar event, Tom and Randall sought me out for specific roles which allowed me to capitalize on my experience and interests. Prior to interviewing, they provided me a wealth of information about the company and individuals I would be meeting with and several practice sessions. They were also incredibly helpful in assisting me translate the skills and experience gained from nine years of service into relatable terminology for the private sector.

    Steve Schultz – Sales, Marketing & Business Development Professional

    Aaron was always there for me to bounce things off of him. He knew your client very well and what type of candidate they were looking for. Every step in the process Aaron was there for me to gain support should I need him. He even took the time to role play with me prior to my interviews. You have a GEM on your hands!!! Very articulate, hard worker, professional, up front, honest, strategic and in general just an overall good representation of your company. Aaron definitely deserves recognition!!!”

    P.S. – Candidate

  • “I’ve experience a great deal of success in with my current Company and have been very content. One day, Dave contacted me out of the blue and I wasn’t particularly interested in listening to new career opportunities at the time, but Dave proved himself to be knowledgeable of the Industry and gave me a compelling enough reason to listen. I updated my resume and sent it off to Dave that evening. The very next day, my Company had a mass reduction in force and I was let go. I have since been hired back in a different role. However, when I was laid off I was devastated; but I felt that I had a safety net in Dave and that was comforting. I would absolutely recommend adding Dave to your network of contacts.”

    S.K. – Candidate

  • “I can only describe my experience working with Direct Recruiters, and having Tom Clark as my recruiter, as outstanding from start to finish.  Prior to working with Tom, I had a lot of difficulty finding a career at the level and compensation that I thought I was worth.  Tom guided me through the interviewing process from the beginning, helping translate the skills and experience I had gained through the military into terms that were more relatable to the civilian job market.  Tom did an excellent job of presenting my background to the company I am currently employed with.  I honestly felt like half the battle had been won by Tom prior to myself even interviewing.  He kept my current company interested and excited about the opportunity to have me as an employee.  In addition, Tom always made sure that I was prepared and well-rehearsed for each interview.  In between interviews Tom always kept me updated and informed on how the process was moving along and what I should expect next.   I would recommend Tom and Direct Recruiters to any transitioning Active Duty leaders, as well as those serving in the Reserves or National Guard!”

    S.F. – Candidate and Former Military

  • “I just wanted to quickly touch base with you now that I’ve been with my new company for a few weeks.  The company is great and the guys I am working with are pretty awesome.  I have just been through a week long training session on our products which was a great way to learn all the stuff I had been missing. The fit feels really good and I’m happy with the move.”

    I am going through the “on-boarding” process. I was in the West Chester office last week and I will be working on some follow up activities this week. This position is an excellent fit that I can apply my engineering skills while building relationships/ partnerships with the customers. I know that I will have fun working for Bill and do my best to help the company to reach its targets.”

    S. – Candidate

  • “The team at Direct Recruiters has been excellent to work with. They have approached me through the years with several great opportunities that were well suited to my experience and appropriate for the next step in my career. Once I decided that an opportunity was the right fit, DRI was very helpful in guiding me through the process, helping me avoid any mis-steps. It is clear that they are serious about learning their craft, and I am sure that DRI will continue to be a great asset to both those looking for new jobs and those looking for new employees.”

    R.H. – Candidate

  • “I have been wary about working with recruiters because you never know if they have a commitment from the hiring company to recruit for them so that my credentials would be taken seriously.  Dave was prompt about returning my calls, provided keen insight, and feedback. I have given his name to a couple of potential candidates.”

    B.C. – Candidate

  • “I have had fine experience working with Dave. If circumstances caused me to look for another position, Dave Bevington would be the guy I’d call.  Here’s why: I am currently employed in a field quite different from where I spent the last 20 years – and very happily so. This wouldn’t have happened without Dave’s thinking out of the box. It is certainly easy to make a living sticking to round pegs in round holes. But Dave had the insight to hook me up with this out-of-the-box opportunity. The guy’s a pro. Simple things like timely follow-up and guiding the process step by step.  It ain’t rocket science, but simple blocking and tackling is an essential part of winning the game. I’m thankful to Dave for helping me get to where I am today. I would feel confident recommending him without reservation.”

    D.W. – Candidate

  • “I was very pleased with Dave Bevington’s laid back attitude and the candidness of the conversations we have. I never felt like Dave was pushing me into a job that wasn’t in my best interest. I recommend Dave Bevington because of his deep understanding of the automation business and his knack for connecting great candidates and companies that are mutually beneficial. Dave has managed to network with many of the top companies within the automation industry and has gained a broad understanding of the skills and personalities of top candidates. Dave is an expert at following up with his clients and candidates throughout the interview process without being overbearing.”

    I.S. – Candidate

  • “For the most part, recruiters are okay. Dave Bevington did a great job managing the hiring process, it all went pretty smooth. I was pleased with Dave’s service, he did a good job. Most recruiters do not return phone calls promptly, and they treat people like a number. Dave returned all phone calls promptly, and was great to work with. Now I’m getting into my new job, and having fun.”

    P.S. – Candidate

  • “I had a good experience working with Dave Bevington. I’ve worked with recruiters before; and sometime it’s clear that the candidate came second to the client. Dave did not give me this impression. I felt like he had my best interest in mind, and made a true win-win situation. Things are doing great and my territory is really taking off!”

    E.Z. – Candidate

  • “The biggest concern that I had working with a recruiter is if they were looking out for my best interest and if I they would really know the best company and job for me.

    Once I started working with Dave, I immediately appreciated his directness. Everything was out in the open. He critiqued my resume, did an excellent job of letting my know what to expect, and offered candid feedback at each phase in the process. What I liked most about his service is that he did all the negotiating on my behalf, and kept my stress level low with his attention to detail throughout the hiring process. All I had to worry about was doing my part interviewing. Also, when I had questions, I could contact him any time of day to get my answers. I really like my new job, it is a very good atmosphere and job description was dead on. I would highly recommend Dave Bevington and Direct Recruiters.”

    L.H. – Candidate

  • “Before working with Dave Bevington, my experience with most recruiters was that they were only trying to place me in a position in order to reach their quota and did not have my best interest at heart. My first impression of Dave is that he truly cares about his candidates and tries to locate opportunities which align with their career goals. I’m still loving my job and the people that I work for. I have already recommended Dave Bevington and will continue the do so because of his organizational skills and professionalism.”

    S.A. – Candidate

  • “I have worked with Direct Recruiters in the past and want to share my experience. In this day and age, good recruiters are a necessary part of a career path especially with large corporations so when Dave Bevington called, I was not apprehensive. I was most surprised by Dave’s knowledge of the end user as well as the Automation field and controls arena. This made it easy to work with him. Also, he not only made sure that I was comfortable with the duties of the position but made sure that I would fit their company culture. I would recommend Dave and have recommended him to my associates and would not hesitate to utilize his services in the future. Hopefully I will not need to for myself. He is ethical, diligent and knowledgeable in the field and this makes for a tremendous skill set. Dave’s credibility places him a cut above the rest in his respective field.”

    R.W. – Candidate

  • “Dave is an awesome recruiter to work with. He made sure to note what I was looking for in a job and did his best to find a job that fit my needs. I’m very happy at the location that I am at. I would recommend Dave to friends or family because of his excellent attention regarding the needs of his clients.”

    V.L. – Candidate

  • Dave is a top performing and professional recruiter, very ethical and hard
    working. He hones in on the key attributes and skills you are looking for
    and has a very good understanding on personal fit into the organization /
    position he is placing for. Dave is very personable and makes dealing with
    him a pleasure. I have successfully placed dozens of candidates with Dave’s
    help. Quite often his involvement has made the difference in the candidates
    decision because of the trust that he builds on both sides of his client
    base.

    I recommend anyone looking for help to tap into Dave’s network and
    abilities to source talent. He’s a tremendous person and a an incredible
    asset to have access to.

    Andy – Client

  • “Joshua Olgin is the real deal. During my last layoff I had the opportunity to work with a handful of recruiters but none of them were even in the same league as Joshua. He wasn’t out to make the quick buck, he wanted to ensure that whoever he placed with the companies he was placing for were happy with them and they were happy with whom he placed. He worked carefully with me to explain everything that would be happening and even helped me with some special tips and pointers on the interview. He always addressed not only my concerns but the concerns of my family as well. He even took time to explain things to my wife and answer any questions she had. He worked with the company to even get plane tickets for my son to come and visit Texas so he could “help” with the finding of our new home. Joshua continues to check in on me and offer any assistance I might need.”

  • “I really enjoyed all my interactions with Kasey at DRI. She has a great personality, and she is professional, patient, and easy to talk with. She connected me with some really great people at the stage of my career where that’s what I needed. It was a positive experience working with Kasey and I hope to continue having a relationship with her moving forward. The only constant in Business Development and Healthcare IT is change, so having relationships with professional recruiters you can trust is a good thing.”

    M.W. – Candidate

  • “Kasey was exceptional to work with during my job search. After calls from multiple recruiters over the years, she was the only one that was not pushy, discussed the options, and seemed to have my best interest in mind. She was open and listened and responded to my concerns and in the end worked with me, instead of just for herself, to find the perfect opportunity. She is someone other recruiters should take lessons on how the recruiting process should be done. I have recommended her to any of my past colleagues or friends who are looking for a job in the IT industry. God forbid I leave my current position, she will be my first call.”

    M.R. – Candidate

  • “Kasey is very responsive and takes the time to listen to what I was looking for. I could not be happier in my current role that Kasey was able to find for me. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a go-getter recruiter to work with Kasey!”

    K.B. – Candidate

  • “A colleague referred me to Kasey and Director Recruiters, and I am extremely thankful that she did. Kasey is detail-oriented and made sure that she fully understood the type of job and company culture that I was looking for in a new position. Rather than just trying to fill a position, Kasey took the time get to know me and keep my best interests in mind. Kasey was diligent in following up with potential employers with any questions I had and kept me well informed during the process. Months after starting with a new company, Kasey continues to “check-in” to make sure everything is going well. I highly recommend Kasey and without hesitation, I will continue referring others looking for a new job to her.”

  • “When I joined athenahealth, I had a difficult time finding a trusted partner to use as an outside resource in assisting my search efforts for high-level, niche positions until I started working with Mike Silverstein and his team at Direct Recruiters. They work smart to identify top talent and continue to deliver the caliber and quality of candidates that we are looking to hire.  Mike and his team successfully identified two star candidates for Director-level roles that we would never have found had it not been for the time, energy, and highly qualified team at Direct Recruiters. They are an exceptional group and a trusted extension of our recruiting arm here at athenahealth that I would highly recommend to any organization looking for an expert in the field of talent recruitment. In my opinion they are the whole package.”

    Rick Marfori – Director of Sales

  • “It is with great pleasure that I fully endorse the work of Mike Silverstein. He has been instrumental in helping us quickly locate great talent, those individuals who not only have

    the requisite skill sets but those rare individuals who possess the soft skills, teamwork orientation, and passion for what they do. Unlike many recruiters, I never felt like Mike put his interests above mine

    in trying to ‘force a fit’ or convince me to accept someone that I didn’t feel was an optimal match. In recruiting high talent, it is important to me to work with a true professional where complete collaboration and urgency exists. I also have the piece of mind in knowing that if I need Mike and his team to help me during negotiations, I fully trust them to execute in this critical area.

    In this new economy especially within a small growing business, we are trying to do more with less. Finding great partners who are skilled at what they do, deliver results, and operate with complete transparency and integrity are difficult to find. I feel like I have found this with Mike. I hesitate to offer this recommendation only because he’s a rare find and for selfish reasons I hope he never becomes too busy to find time for my next search.”

    Scott Boyden – SVP, Sales & Marketing, Streamline HEALTH

  • “We have partnered with Mike and Direct Recruiters since fall 2008 to find outside sales talent. Mike has been great to work with. He quickly learned all the nuances of what we were looking for in sales talent and does not waste our time with mediocre candidates. He does not try to oversell candidates to us like some recruiters do; he respects our decisions and uses those decisions to narrow in on the ideal candidates for us. He is a true professional with high energy and a strong drive to meet clients’ needs. I highly recommend Mike!”

    Laura Kennedy – Recruiting Manager, Navicure, Inc.

  • “I’ve had the opportunity to work with many recruiters and typically avoid them. I’ve made an exception for Mike (Silverstein) who’s the lead Healthcare IT recruiter for Direct Recruiters.

He’s genuine and acts with long term interest in mind. I consider Mike a valued, strategic resource.”

Throughout the process, he was helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and great advice. And in the end, I found a perfect job for my skills – one I wouldn’t have gotten without Mike’s help.

Mike always produces top talented individuals for my openings and we have hired 100% of the folks he has recommended that we have interviewed. The value that Mike has brought us over the last year exceeds the cost of his services. If you have any questions about Mike or his track record of success please don’t hesitate to contact me.”

    Jim Mullen – Senior Vice President of Sales, T-System, Inc.

I whole-heartedly recommend Mike to anyone looking for an Executive Recruiter. ”

    Anna Theriault – Global Director, Channels and HIE, Lawson Software (Now Infor)

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Silverstein for the past three years. As a professional recruiter, Mike is excellent. I had such a high confidence level in his abilities that Mike became the only recruiter we worked with on sales, marketing, operations and account management opportunities. I credit Mike with a significant number of successes we had at M* Modal in the area of talent acquisition.
    Mike worked as a business partner to me and other executives within our company. He was always focused on finding the right person for our open roles. He told me that in order to have a successful long term relationship with us, he had to find the best people. He took pride in that.
    I turned to Mike on a number of occasions to discuss business issues relative to talent acquisition. I never hesitated and was proud to have Mike speak directly with our CEO, COO, or VP of Sales regarding his activities and candidates.
    Mike has an impressive knowledge of our industry and outstanding knowledge of the “key players” including their status, whereabouts, and interests. Mike is tenacious; he follows-up and sees matters through to the end.
    Mike is a pleasure to work with. He is smart, realistic, well-spoken, confident, and professional.

The follow-up and attention to what we we’re looking for was the best I’ve worked with. I told you when I first met you these many years ago that getting me to use outside sources for talent would be difficult. You not only hung in there which speaks volumes about your tenacity, but when you got the shot you delivered. I can’t think of any greater endorsement than using your services whenever the need arises. Thanks again for all your efforts.”

    Mike McGuire – CEO, Holon Solutions

  • “I’ve been recruiting talent in the healthcare information technology industry for more than 25 years and have worked with many recruiters over that period of time. In today’s high growth HIT environment, I get between ten and fifteen calls/emails from various recruiters each week, pitching me on their latest “#1” candidate who they are sure will be a perfect fit for me, my team and my company. Fortunately, I never get calls like that from Mike Silverstein. Instead, I go to Mike when I have a recruiting need because he listens. Mike has been a trusted resource for me when I am in need of additional talent because he is not focused on pushing or selling candidates, rather his focus is on understanding my needs first, researching candidates extensively, screening candidates appropriately, managing candidates proactively throughout the hiring process and conscientiously following up to ensure my satisfaction. Mike also blends the appropriate mix of contact frequency with knowing when contact isn’t appropriate. There are many recruiters that have been in the business longer than Mike, but they’d do themselves some good to follow his lead.”

    Greg Miller – Senior Vice President, Health Catalyst

  • “In working with many talent agencies, I’ve yet to come across a team as helpful, efficient, energetic and professional as Direct Recruiters. They are a pleasure to work with and approach their customers and candidates with a high level of care!

I will affirm to any perspective client you abilities to quickly, but more importantly accurately identify, and bring to closure top talent in a competitive market. Based on our multiple transacations, I would gladly provide to any prespective client of your integrity, commitment, and ability to get the job done. ”

    Joseph Casper – CEO, Sandlot Solutions

  • “I have known Mike Silverstein for several years and came to know him first as a recruit and then later as a hiring manager. Mike is first an employment consultant – helping to navigate his clients through the art of finding the right job-company-fit for candidates and how to hire excellent talent on manager side. He is able to match the right talent and company and job to the right people and does so with incredible grace and speed. As a hiring manager, he screens and then sends me qualified and credible candidates. His contact-network is impressive which allows him to react quickly – while never throwing “names against the wall” to see what sticks.

    Having over 25 years in sales, few recruiters I have known have set themselves apart like Mike Silverstein.”

    Greg Leder – SVP of Sales, Medecision

  • “I started working with Direct Recruiters when I joined ID Systems, Inc. in November 2006. They understood that I was the new point person regarding a search already in progress.

But most impressive was their responsiveness. DRI was in communication with me at all times, even off hours. It’s important for me to build a trust relationship with recruiters and for them to follow our procedures. I feel that Direct Recruiters accomplished this.”

    Judy Schwab – VP of Human Resources, ID Systems, Inc.

  • “As President of our company, I don’t have time to waste when working with a recruiter. I am very specific with job descriptions and exact on our needs. I gave my set of specifications and filters to Jason Herbert at Direct Recruiters when we were seeking a Sales Professional and a Systems Analyst . Jason was very respectful of my time and adhered to the requirements outlined. He only presented resumes of candidates who fit my criteria. We were able to fill both positions with the right people. Jason was diligent in his search and I appreciate his efforts.”

    Donald Betman – President, W & H Systems

  • “Right on target! Jason Herbert of Direct Recruiters did his homework in learning what attributes we needed in a candidate for our headquarters sales team. Jason is a quick study, grasped our requirements well, and brought us only quality applicants.

  • “I typically use multiple recruiters when trying to fill a sales position. During our recent search for a Mobile Sales Manager in the Western region, David Peterson was able to show me fresh candidates by thinking outside the box. He found top performers who were selling similar solutions in different markets. David recruited these candidates based on skill sets aligned with my go to market strategy. He showed me candidates I would never have found on my own. In addition, David was in constant contact during the process and he listened closely to my needs. He also asked the right questions. He made the process easy.”

    Brent Felker – Americas VP of Mobile Solutions, Psion Teklogix Inc.

  • “I was eager to make a job change and contacted David Peterson with DRI. David presented me with an excellent opportunity for a leading Public Safety solutions company and I decided to go for it. With previous experience in selling public safety software, we both felt the job would be a great fit. I began the interview process in December and by end January started my new job. I would give David a “10” for his efforts and approach. He took the time to get to know me and my career goals. He advised me on how to change jobs as well as helped me to make the transition. In addition, David worked on my time schedule and stayed in touch during off hours. He provided feedback after every interview and kept me informed every step of the way. The job is everything I wanted and I’m excited about what the future holds. I will continue to send candidate referrals to David.”

    S.T. – Sales Rep, Public Safety Software

  • “Several months and 8 mediocre recruiters later, I was happy to hear about the search and placement services of Direct Recruiters, Inc. and David Peterson. David’s approach was refreshing. He took the time to call often, ask questions and gather information in order to understand our requirements for a Product Marketing Manager position. I could tell that David was committed to working with us so I agreed to grant him a 3- week exclusive on the search. During that time, he was able to present 6 very qualified candidates. After conducting initial phone interviews, we were able to narrow the candidates down to 2 exceptional professionals and ultimately selected the one perfect fit for our company. I highly recommend Direct Recruiters, Inc. and David Peterson. They are different from the pack.”

    F. M. – Director of Marketing, Supplier of Management Software

  • “We found our ‘home run’ candidate through Direct Recruiters and David Peterson and we couldn’t be more pleased. Working on this exclusive search with David was a pleasure.

The process didn’t take very long and the results were great.”

    T.P. – Director Western Regional Sales, Mobile Computer Manufacturer

  • “When joining this company April 2003 as VP of Sales, I needed to hire additional sales staff; a Western Regional Sales Manager and an Eastern Director of Business Development. My predecessor was using another search firm that I found non-responsive and a poor fit for these searches. Fortunately I received a call from David Peterson with Direct Recruiters, Inc. and gave him a chance since he was extremely persuasive, communicative and diligent. You would have to be in order to sell a sales person! I agreed to give David an exclusive search since he presented very good candidates for these hard to fill positions. Working together, David & I were able to close the right candidates in a relatively short period of time. I would rate David a “10” as far as industry knowledge, customer service and follow-up skills. In fact, I referred him to our partners and they are already in contact with him.”

  • “David Peterson and Direct Recruiters did a great job! They didn’t waste time in finding the right candidate for the Account Manager position we had open in Cincinnati, Ohio. I don’t usually grant exclusives but when David guaranteed he would be successful in his search, I was open to the idea and was not disappointed. I would recommend the services of David Peterson and Direct Recruiters. My experience with them was a positive one.”

    T.R. – Director of Southeastern Sales, Wireless Computing Manufacturer

  • “I was first introduced to the services of Direct Recruiters at the Frontline Solutions Expo. Having used other recruiting firms before, I was impressed with the fact that DRI focuses and specializes in finding candidates within our industry. So when 2 Regional Sales Manager positions became available, I contacted them and was put in touch with David Peterson. David was easy to work with and very professional. He was also very persistent. Our one opening in Atlanta was easy to fill but it was the opening in Canada that required his commitment and diligence. Throughout the process, David stayed in touch and provided weekly and sometimes daily updates. Eventually David found a perfect match and we couldn’t be happier. DRI seems to know the right players in the job market and for that reason I would use their services again.”

    B.K. – National Sales Manager, Global Leader in Manufacturing CCD & Laser-Based Bar Code Scanners

  • “David Peterson received my name through a referral. When he contacted me I was not looking to make a move but once he pitched the Regional Sales Manager position for the largest supplier of ruggedized PC’s, it sounded like a great fit and exactly what I wanted to do in the future. My thought was why wait if the future was presenting itself now. David coached me prior to the interview process but I also did my own homework and preparation to get the edge. Ultimately the company made an offer and I accepted. The position is very accurate to what David presented and about 90% of what I thought it would be. Overall, working with David has been a very positive experience which surprised me. Usually I turn recruiters away but David’s approach was different. He was helpful not pushy. He went the extra mile and even worked after hours on my behalf. I’m glad I took the time to listen to David’s pitch and I would work with him and Direct Recruiters again in the future.”

    C. H. – Regional Sales Manager, Manufacturer of Ruggedized PC’s

  • “David Peterson with Direct Recruiters, Inc. contacted me regarding an open Regional Sales Rep position with a rugged wireless computer company. It sounded like a great opportunity and great fit and I was eager to move forward. I went through 3 interviews, 2 on a local level and one at their HQ. The company was looking to fill the position quickly and it took only 4 short weeks before an offer was made. Overall the process went smoothly and David was excellent. He was very professional and thorough and I felt he handled the situation just right. He didn’t push but rather coached me during the process and was accurate with information and position requirements. Once on the job, David called to follow-up as well as sent a personal letter. I’ve used other recruiters in the past but this experience was about as good as it gets.”

    R.P. – Regional Sales Rep, Rugged Wireless Computer Company

  • “I first heard about Direct Recruiters, Inc. when David Peterson called and introduced himself and his company. Dave’s calls were professionally persistent and it paid off when our need and his call came at the same time. We had two Regional Sales Managers positions to fill; one in the South Central Region and the other entitled “Remote Regional Manager” out of Chicago. Dave did a very good job of understanding our requirements as well as the marketplace climate. He also worked within our budget. Dave’s willingness to go the extra mile for us gave me the impression that he didn’t try to just close the deal. I will use the services of Dave and Direct Recruiters again in the future as I feel we’ve developed a great relationship and have grown together.”
