“I first heard about Direct Recruiters, Inc. when David Peterson called and introduced himself and his company. Dave’s calls were professionally persistent and it paid off when our need and his call came at the same time. We had two Regional Sales Managers positions to fill; one in the South Central Region and the other entitled “Remote Regional Manager” out of Chicago. Dave did a very good job of understanding our requirements as well as the marketplace climate. He also worked within our budget. Dave’s willingness to go the extra mile for us gave me the impression that he didn’t try to just close the deal. I will use the services of Dave and Direct Recruiters again in the future as I feel we’ve developed a great relationship and have grown together.”

“David Peterson with Direct Recruiters, Inc. contacted me regarding an open Regional Sales Rep position with a rugged wireless computer company. It sounded like a great opportunity and great fit and I was eager to move forward. I went through 3 interviews, 2 on a local level and one at their HQ. The company was looking to fill the position quickly and it took only 4 short weeks before an offer was made. Overall the process went smoothly and David was excellent. He was very professional and thorough and I felt he handled the situation just right. He didn’t push but rather coached me during the process and was accurate with information and position requirements. Once on the job, David called to follow-up as well as sent a personal letter. I’ve used other recruiters in the past but this experience was about as good as it gets.”

“David Peterson received my name through a referral. When he contacted me I was not looking to make a move but once he pitched the Regional Sales Manager position for the largest supplier of ruggedized PC’s, it sounded like a great fit and exactly what I wanted to do in the future. My thought was why wait if the future was presenting itself now. David coached me prior to the interview process but I also did my own homework and preparation to get the edge. Ultimately the company made an offer and I accepted. The position is very accurate to what David presented and about 90% of what I thought it would be. Overall, working with David has been a very positive experience which surprised me. Usually I turn recruiters away but David’s approach was different. He was helpful not pushy. He went the extra mile and even worked after hours on my behalf. I’m glad I took the time to listen to David’s pitch and I would work with him and Direct Recruiters again in the future.”

“I was first introduced to the services of Direct Recruiters at the Frontline Solutions Expo. Having used other recruiting firms before, I was impressed with the fact that DRI focuses and specializes in finding candidates within our industry. So when 2 Regional Sales Manager positions became available, I contacted them and was put in touch with David Peterson. David was easy to work with and very professional. He was also very persistent. Our one opening in Atlanta was easy to fill but it was the opening in Canada that required his commitment and diligence. Throughout the process, David stayed in touch and provided weekly and sometimes daily updates. Eventually David found a perfect match and we couldn’t be happier. DRI seems to know the right players in the job market and for that reason I would use their services again.”

“David Peterson and Direct Recruiters did a great job! They didn’t waste time in finding the right candidate for the Account Manager position we had open in Cincinnati, Ohio. I don’t usually grant exclusives but when David guaranteed he would be successful in his search, I was open to the idea and was not disappointed. I would recommend the services of David Peterson and Direct Recruiters. My experience with them was a positive one.”

“When joining this company April 2003 as VP of Sales, I needed to hire additional sales staff; a Western Regional Sales Manager and an Eastern Director of Business Development. My predecessor was using another search firm that I found non-responsive and a poor fit for these searches. Fortunately I received a call from David Peterson with Direct Recruiters, Inc. and gave him a chance since he was extremely persuasive, communicative and diligent. You would have to be in order to sell a sales person! I agreed to give David an exclusive search since he presented very good candidates for these hard to fill positions. Working together, David & I were able to close the right candidates in a relatively short period of time. I would rate David a “10” as far as industry knowledge, customer service and follow-up skills. In fact, I referred him to our partners and they are already in contact with him.”

“We found our ‘home run’ candidate through Direct Recruiters and David Peterson and we couldn’t be more pleased. Working on this exclusive search with David was a pleasure. I found him to be very professional, detail oriented, industry knowledgeable and accurate when presenting candidates. I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and have used recruiters in the past so I know the difference. I would use the services of Direct Recruiters and David again. The process didn’t take very long and the results were great.”

“Several months and 8 mediocre recruiters later, I was happy to hear about the search and placement services of Direct Recruiters, Inc. and David Peterson. David’s approach was refreshing. He took the time to call often, ask questions and gather information in order to understand our requirements for a Product Marketing Manager position. I could tell that David was committed to working with us so I agreed to grant him a 3- week exclusive on the search. During that time, he was able to present 6 very qualified candidates. After conducting initial phone interviews, we were able to narrow the candidates down to 2 exceptional professionals and ultimately selected the one perfect fit for our company. I highly recommend Direct Recruiters, Inc. and David Peterson. They are different from the pack.”

“I was eager to make a job change and contacted David Peterson with DRI. David presented me with an excellent opportunity for a leading Public Safety solutions company and I decided to go for it. With previous experience in selling public safety software, we both felt the job would be a great fit. I began the interview process in December and by end January started my new job. I would give David a “10” for his efforts and approach. He took the time to get to know me and my career goals. He advised me on how to change jobs as well as helped me to make the transition. In addition, David worked on my time schedule and stayed in touch during off hours. He provided feedback after every interview and kept me informed every step of the way. The job is everything I wanted and I’m excited about what the future holds. I will continue to send candidate referrals to David.”

“I typically use multiple recruiters when trying to fill a sales position. During our recent search for a Mobile Sales Manager in the Western region, David Peterson was able to show me fresh candidates by thinking outside the box. He found top performers who were selling similar solutions in different markets. David recruited these candidates based on skill sets aligned with my go to market strategy. He showed me candidates I would never have found on my own. In addition, David was in constant contact during the process and he listened closely to my needs. He also asked the right questions. He made the process easy.”
