Ben Shamis

“Excellent group to work with that maintains close industry relationships. One of the best in the industry. I see them hosting/attending receptions at major conferences I also attend, building relationships, etc. – really great team!”

“I thought the DRI team did a great job working with my staff & partners to find a solution quickly. They were quickly available to provide process updates and feedback when needed. We had some limiting criteria that I’m sure made the search more difficult. I’m glad to have made the connection and would be happy to use DRI again.”

“Ben had me very prepared for any interview and did a great job explaining the role.”

“All of the candidates could perform the responsibilities outlined in the job description. DRI did a good job sifting through available candidates for those that could go above and beyond and this is exemplified with Nolan. DRI kept the pressure on me as the hiring manager which I needed to ensure we filled this role as quickly as possible. Overall very positive and effective!”

“Great team to work with, highly responsive and on top of process throughout.”

“Really appreciate your group. I’ve known Mike for 20 years and 1st class guy. Ben did an excellent job setting me up with the right fit. Highly recommended and value the relationship.”

“Ben managed me well during the process. He poked me when I needed to respond and kept me moving along in the process. Some candidates were great and others were a good pass. I was never sent a bad candidate though. Very lucky to have direct recruiters help with this placement.”

“DRI actually has opportunities and connections compared to a lot of the recruiters out there. They were great partners in the interviews. DRI is awesome.”

“he list of people we received from Ben was more than enough for me to pick from. Ben is just a great recruiter – always ready to talk, responded to every text I sent quickly, and when we talked he was business, but we also had a fun back and forth. Just a great guy. Mike and Ben – amazing guys who are so professional and fun to talk to. I was so impressed from start to finish, which is why our relationship does not stop at this candidate.”

“I worked with a number of recruiters during my search with DRI, they were all fantastic. At my previous organization, we used DRI to place several people into senior roles. Working with your team has always been a pleasant one. Each recruiter is well prepared, able to assist through the process, and keeps in regular communication. This was my first time working with your team team being a candidate, and it was similarly an awesome experience on this side as well, Thank you.”

“exceptional recruiters. timely communications. professional follow up. ability to balance needs of recruiter/recruitee. great experience.”

“DRI and Ben Shamis were the most transparent recruiters I have worked with. Interview preparation helped me find a great role I am excited to work in.”

“The candidates received all had components of the skillset needed for the role. Also, a couple had everything that was needed, but were eliminated for salary or non compete reasons. So, DRI understood exactly what I was looking for in my roles. They continued to communicate and follow-up the ensure there were no delays in the process. t was extremely organized and concise. There was no wasted time.”

“Ben did a great job with communicating with me and always made himself available. If you’re looking for a new career, talk to Ben!”

“DRI provided us with several very strong candidates, which made us confident that of any options provided, we would be choosing the right fit for this role. DRI was extremely diligent and organized throughout all candidate discussions. Including scorecards, full bios, and insights into candidate decision-making to get across the finish line. DRI proved to be a great partner for HealthSnap and got to work as soon as we engaged with them. We felt in great hands with them from kickoff to placement and most importantly they demonstrated a clear domain expertise in healthcare recruiting that we have not seen elsewhere.”

“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. He quickly surfaced the opportunity that I was hired into and was super communicative and helpful throughout the application process. Ben kept me “in the know” holding frequent, unscheduled touch bases to let me know how things were progressing or to help me prep for phases of the interview process.”

“I was very satisfied at how professional Ben was and how knowledgeable he was of the company and my background as it related to the company needs.”

“DRI is always very professional and helpful in finding and securing top talent. I have especially enjoyed working with Ben Shamis and Norman Volsky. Great communication throughout the process – helped us get through hurdles! Really enjoy the experience with Direct Recruiters and they definitely bring great talent.”

“I had a great experience working with DRi because of Ben. He is very good at what he does. 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.”

“Ben was very helpful throughout the hiring/interview process. Ben and Mitchell owned the negotiation process on my behalf. I would recommend the DRI team to anyone looking for a career change!”
