They are always timely with responses, they ask the right questions, and have been a pleasure to work with. We are thankful for the people they have brought to us.
The roles we tasked DRI to fill were not easy. Not only did we need candidates quickly, but we needed candidates with years of direct industry experience. The DRI team worked to sort through and find the right people for us! These positions we needed help with are critical to the growth and development of our company. Our company culture sets us apart, so additionally, DRI worked with us in making sure candidates were the right cultural fits. They did a great job.

“Direct Recruiters was so helpful along the way with everything. I can’t think of anything that could have been done differently during this process. From my first conversation to the time I signed with my new employer, DRI covered all the basis. They were in constant communication with me and always had me ready for my interviews. This is my first time working with a recruiting service so I have no comparison, but I feel there is no way I would have had a better experience with anyone else. I truly appreciate all the help along the way!”
S.E. – Candidate
“Nick Saddleton scores a 10 any day in book. I crossed paths with Nick, and honestly, the exact moment eludes me. Yet, from our initial phone call, I felt an immediate trust. It seemed like he genuinely cared about not just getting me a new role, but one that truly reflected my value. Nick’s communication skills are exceptional, and he did an excellent job of matching me with roles that aligned with my skill set. He consistently paired me with the right opportunities and information to excel at each interview. Wholeheartedly recommend Nick to anyone seeking a new career path. The role he just got me into is proving to be an excellent match so far. Yet again, proving his talent matching abilities are second to none. Excellent agency with a great jobs for engineers and sales reps alike!”
T.P. – Candidate
“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
“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
“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
“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.”
