On a daily basis, DRI’s digital health recruiters and digital health executive search specialists work with leading clients and top candidates within the digital health space. Below are top reviews and testimonials that highlight the success of working with DRI Digital Health recruiters.
- “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.”
Kathy Dalton Ford, President & Chief Product Officer – Rhinogram
“Tyler was phenomenal to work with! He reached out to me in January 2024 via LinkedIn and at the time I was not in a position to change roles, but I knew I would later in the year. 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. I am SO grateful to Tyler and DRI and for any job prospects in the future I will turn to DRI first!”

“I have known Norm for years and have worked with him as both a candidate and as a hiring manager. Norm placed me at Spok and has helped me hire members of my team. He knows the healthcare software industry inside and out. Norm and Direct Recruiters is a world class recruiting organization. He’s build a brand for himself and Direct Recruiters that differentiates against any other firm. Norm is extremely professional, honest, and works with the highest level of integrity and passion for his clients. Anytime I need top talent Norm’s my first call. I recommend him to individuals looking for that next role or hiring managers looking to build a team full of A players. Norm is one of few recruiter athletes willing to do whatever it takes.”
Brian Anderson, Group Vice President, Commercial Operations – AssistRx
“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.”
