  • “Joshua Olgin is the real deal. During my last layoff I had the opportunity to work with a handful of recruiters but none of them were even in the same league as Joshua. He wasn’t out to make the quick buck, he wanted to ensure that whoever he placed with the companies he was placing for were happy with them and they were happy with whom he placed. He worked carefully with me to explain everything that would be happening and even helped me with some special tips and pointers on the interview. He always addressed not only my concerns but the concerns of my family as well. He even took time to explain things to my wife and answer any questions she had. He worked with the company to even get plane tickets for my son to come and visit Texas so he could “help” with the finding of our new home. Joshua continues to check in on me and offer any assistance I might need.”

  • “I have worked with Direct Recruiters in the past and want to share my experience. In this day and age, good recruiters are a necessary part of a career path especially with large corporations so when Dave Bevington called, I was not apprehensive. I was most surprised by Dave’s knowledge of the end user as well as the Automation field and controls arena. This made it easy to work with him. Also, he not only made sure that I was comfortable with the duties of the position but made sure that I would fit their company culture. I would recommend Dave and have recommended him to my associates and would not hesitate to utilize his services in the future. Hopefully I will not need to for myself. He is ethical, diligent and knowledgeable in the field and this makes for a tremendous skill set. Dave’s credibility places him a cut above the rest in his respective field.”

  • “Before working with Dave Bevington, my experience with most recruiters was that they were only trying to place me in a position in order to reach their quota and did not have my best interest at heart. My first impression of Dave is that he truly cares about his candidates and tries to locate opportunities which align with their career goals. I’m still loving my job and the people that I work for. I have already recommended Dave Bevington and will continue the do so because of his organizational skills and professionalism.”

  • “The biggest concern that I had working with a recruiter is if they were looking out for my best interest and if I they would really know the best company and job for me.

    Once I started working with Dave, I immediately appreciated his directness. Everything was out in the open. He critiqued my resume, did an excellent job of letting my know what to expect, and offered candid feedback at each phase in the process. What I liked most about his service is that he did all the negotiating on my behalf, and kept my stress level low with his attention to detail throughout the hiring process. All I had to worry about was doing my part interviewing. Also, when I had questions, I could contact him any time of day to get my answers. I really like my new job, it is a very good atmosphere and job description was dead on. I would highly recommend Dave Bevington and Direct Recruiters.”

  • “I had a good experience working with Dave Bevington. I’ve worked with recruiters before; and sometime it’s clear that the candidate came second to the client. Dave did not give me this impression. I felt like he had my best interest in mind, and made a true win-win situation. Things are doing great and my territory is really taking off!”

    E.Z. – Candidate

  • “For the most part, recruiters are okay. Dave Bevington did a great job managing the hiring process, it all went pretty smooth. I was pleased with Dave’s service, he did a good job. Most recruiters do not return phone calls promptly, and they treat people like a number. Dave returned all phone calls promptly, and was great to work with. Now I’m getting into my new job, and having fun.”

    P.S. – Candidate

  • “I was very pleased with Dave Bevington’s laid back attitude and the candidness of the conversations we have. I never felt like Dave was pushing me into a job that wasn’t in my best interest. I recommend Dave Bevington because of his deep understanding of the automation business and his knack for connecting great candidates and companies that are mutually beneficial. Dave has managed to network with many of the top companies within the automation industry and has gained a broad understanding of the skills and personalities of top candidates. Dave is an expert at following up with his clients and candidates throughout the interview process without being overbearing.”

  • “I have had fine experience working with Dave. If circumstances caused me to look for another position, Dave Bevington would be the guy I’d call.  Here’s why: I am currently employed in a field quite different from where I spent the last 20 years – and very happily so. This wouldn’t have happened without Dave’s thinking out of the box. It is certainly easy to make a living sticking to round pegs in round holes. But Dave had the insight to hook me up with this out-of-the-box opportunity. The guy’s a pro. Simple things like timely follow-up and guiding the process step by step.  It ain’t rocket science, but simple blocking and tackling is an essential part of winning the game. I’m thankful to Dave for helping me get to where I am today. I would feel confident recommending him without reservation.”

    D.W. – Candidate

  • “I have been wary about working with recruiters because you never know if they have a commitment from the hiring company to recruit for them so that my credentials would be taken seriously.  Dave was prompt about returning my calls, provided keen insight, and feedback. I have given his name to a couple of potential candidates.”
