“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Joe did an amazing job during my recruiting process. He helped prepare me for the interviews and had good talking points to emphasize with the the hiring manager. He was knowledgeable about the process and was a great resource to have as I went through it. Joe spent a lot of time with me and even offered to speak to me while he was on vacation, I highly recommend Joe!”

“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. He is very easy to talk with and always works to get the answers for all your questions. I highly recommend Joe if your are looking to further your career.”

“Joe was fantastic during my interview process. He took the time to understand my background and experience to guide me to my new position. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a recruiter who will have their best interests at heart.”

“I am certainly grateful for Dave’s expertise in helping me connect with the right company for my career. Recruiting today is tough. Dave delivered the value of industry experience and networking.”

“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.”

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.

“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.”

“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!”

“I highly recommend DRI’s services. Great coaching, advice and encouragement through the whole application process. I have recommended them to both candidates and employers. They treat their people like gold. We were complete strangers when DRI contacted me but they treated me like I was the most important client in the world.”

“The DRI team is passionate and dedicated. 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.”

“Top Notch Recruiters. Having spent a number of years in the field, I tend to expect more from the recruiters I work with. DRI was heads above the ones I had talked and worked with. They were not just about making the placement but trying to find the right match for the company and candidate. I highly recommend working with them.”

“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. They were great in getting me involved and followed our lead. The DRI team presented quality candidates that we liked. In addition, I found them to be pleasant and personable. 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.”
