“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. I have and would recommend Tom to others looking for opportunities because of his professionalism, he’s a good guy, and he knows what he’s doing.”

“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 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.”

“DRI was able to find for me the best position I have ever garnered from a recruiting firm. Engineering positions are hard to come by within Knoxville, but DRI found one that really worked for me (and vice-versa :-) ) Thanks, DRI!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
