“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.”
Judy Schwab – VP of Human Resources, ID Systems, Inc.
“I have known Mike Silverstein for several years and came to know him first as a recruit and then later as a hiring manager. Mike is first an employment consultant – helping to navigate his clients through the art of finding the right job-company-fit for candidates and how to hire excellent talent on manager side. He is able to match the right talent and company and job to the right people and does so with incredible grace and speed. As a hiring manager, he screens and then sends me qualified and credible candidates. His contact-network is impressive which allows him to react quickly – while never throwing “names against the wall” to see what sticks.
Having over 25 years in sales, few recruiters I have known have set themselves apart like Mike Silverstein.”
Greg Leder – SVP of Sales, Medecision

Joseph Casper – CEO, Sandlot Solutions
“I’ve been recruiting talent in the healthcare information technology industry for more than 25 years and have worked with many recruiters over that period of time. In today’s high growth HIT environment, I get between ten and fifteen calls/emails from various recruiters each week, pitching me on their latest “#1” candidate who they are sure will be a perfect fit for me, my team and my company. Fortunately, I never get calls like that from Mike Silverstein. Instead, I go to Mike when I have a recruiting need because he listens. Mike has been a trusted resource for me when I am in need of additional talent because he is not focused on pushing or selling candidates, rather his focus is on understanding my needs first, researching candidates extensively, screening candidates appropriately, managing candidates proactively throughout the hiring process and conscientiously following up to ensure my satisfaction. Mike also blends the appropriate mix of contact frequency with knowing when contact isn’t appropriate. There are many recruiters that have been in the business longer than Mike, but they’d do themselves some good to follow his lead.”
Greg Miller – Senior Vice President, Health Catalyst
“I have worked with Mike and his team for some time now and have been impressed by their professionalism, responsiveness, and constant effort to find me well qualified candidates to interview for openings in my sales organization. Unlike other recruiters with whom I’ve worked, Mike and his team take the time to elicit our sales candidate needs to make sure they target candidate recruits that will best meet our needs. Mike and his group are true professionals exhibiting the highest integrity and ethics; their desire to make me successful is refreshing and I view Mike and his group as true partners for my sales organization.”
Scott Smith – Chief Sales Officer, API Healthcare (GE Healthcare)
“As the Senior Vice President of Sales at MEDSEEK Inc, a software vendor that specializes in the Healthcare vertical, I recently had the opportunity to work with Mike Silverstein from Direct Recruiters.
In my opinion, Mike brings a tremendous amount of value to the recruiting process. He has clearly done a good job of networking within the Healthcare IT vertical and has a variety of candidates from seasoned veterans to candidates that are just starting their professional careers.
Mike is extremely well organized, timely, articulate, hard working, and excellent with follow up. He greatly simplified the process of finding qualified candidates.
Should you wish to call me regarding Mike’s attributes and ability to find qualified candidates for open positions that you currently have, please feel free to contact me.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Silverstein for the past three years. As a professional recruiter, Mike is excellent. I had such a high confidence level in his abilities that Mike became the only recruiter we worked with on sales, marketing, operations and account management opportunities. I credit Mike with a significant number of successes we had at M* Modal in the area of talent acquisition.
Mike worked as a business partner to me and other executives within our company. He was always focused on finding the right person for our open roles. He told me that in order to have a successful long term relationship with us, he had to find the best people. He took pride in that.
I turned to Mike on a number of occasions to discuss business issues relative to talent acquisition. I never hesitated and was proud to have Mike speak directly with our CEO, COO, or VP of Sales regarding his activities and candidates.
Mike has an impressive knowledge of our industry and outstanding knowledge of the “key players” including their status, whereabouts, and interests. Mike is tenacious; he follows-up and sees matters through to the end.
Mike is a pleasure to work with. He is smart, realistic, well-spoken, confident, and professional.
I am happy to further discuss my experience with Mike Silverstein. Please do not hesitate to contact me.”Donna Jack – SPHR, Vice President, Human Resources, M* Modal
