“We have partnered with Mike and Direct Recruiters since fall 2008 to find outside sales talent. Mike has been great to work with. He quickly learned all the nuances of what we were looking for in sales talent and does not waste our time with mediocre candidates. He does not try to oversell candidates to us like some recruiters do; he respects our decisions and uses those decisions to narrow in on the ideal candidates for us. He is a true professional with high energy and a strong drive to meet clients’ needs. I highly recommend Mike!”

“It is with great pleasure that I fully endorse the work of Mike Silverstein. He has been instrumental in helping us quickly locate great talent, those individuals who not only have

the requisite skill sets but those rare individuals who possess the soft skills, teamwork orientation, and passion for what they do. Unlike many recruiters, I never felt like Mike put his interests above mine

in trying to ‘force a fit’ or convince me to accept someone that I didn’t feel was an optimal match. In recruiting high talent, it is important to me to work with a true professional where complete collaboration and urgency exists. I also have the piece of mind in knowing that if I need Mike and his team to help me during negotiations, I fully trust them to execute in this critical area.

In this new economy especially within a small growing business, we are trying to do more with less. Finding great partners who are skilled at what they do, deliver results, and operate with complete transparency and integrity are difficult to find. I feel like I have found this with Mike. I hesitate to offer this recommendation only because he’s a rare find and for selfish reasons I hope he never becomes too busy to find time for my next search.”

“Gina Mancuso has done a terrific job identifying and placing talent for our organization. Her professionalism, tenacity, research skills, and patience are benchmarks for other search firms to follow. We are a high-energy organization and Gina and her team are a great partner. We’re encouraged by the talent in our organization and we could have not done it without Gina’s expertise and guidance.”

“Josh did a great job matching me to my new position: he was knowledgeable about the job and my background and was consistent in following up with me and the company; he kept the process moving to a successful conclusion. He was very professional and friendly throughout the entire process. It was a pleasure to work with Josh. Top qualities: Great Results and Personable.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gina and her performance is excellent. Her great follow-up and persistence are 2 qualities that continue to have me work with her. She has helped deliver quality candidates to our organization and she truly cares about our needs. Gina also has a strong network of professional contacts within the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. I highly recommend working with her.”

“I want to thank you again for your assistance over the past year in helping eHealth Technologies identify candidates for our sales team expansion.  We could not be more pleased with the people we selected from the diverse pool of candidates you provided.  Throughout the entire process the support and guidance provided by you and your team was essential to filling our positions in a timely manner.  I look forward to working on future expansions with you as well.”

“I have worked with Mike and his team for some time and it has been a true pleasure. They are very professional, timely and hard working. Due to their vast knowledge of the HIT industry and recruiting, they provide high-quality talent and excellent contacts. Mike and his team are reliable, honest and have both the client’s and candidate’s best interest at heart. They do not over-promise or under-deliver; they exceed expectations and are a great resource. I would undoubtedly recommend working with them.”

“In working with many talent agencies, I’ve yet to come across a team as helpful, efficient, energetic and professional as Direct Recruiters. They are a pleasure to work with and approach their customers and candidates with a high level of care! They are my go to resource when sourcing candidates and I would recommend them to anyone as a valuable partner who can provide a strategic hiring advantage.”

“I can’t thank the two of you enough for your effort around our VP of Sales search. The number and quality of people you put in front of us was outstanding. The follow-up and attention to what we we’re looking for was the best I’ve worked with. I told you when I first met you these many years ago that getting me to use outside sources for talent would be difficult. You not only hung in there which speaks volumes about your tenacity, but when you got the shot you delivered. I can’t think of any greater endorsement than using your services whenever the need arises. Thanks again for all your efforts.”
