“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Mike is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. His knowledge and understanding of the recruiting field and healthcare industry, is impeccable, and helped me in landing my current position. Additionally, he was a great help throughout, from targeting potential employers through to the interview and hiring process. The combination of his knowledge in recruiting, excellent industry contacts, people skills and other intangibles he brings makes him a great recruiter and a pleasure to work with. I whole-heartedly recommend Mike to anyone looking for an Executive Recruiter. ”

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Michael. I found him to be extremely reliable and attentive to my needs. In my experience, this is rare for a recruiter. Michael provided a lot of activity in a short period of time. He has many high quality industry contacts and produces results. Whether searching for the right person to fill a role or a new role itself, I would highly recommend Michael.”

“I have been in the healthcare IT industry for almost 15 years and have utilized a number of different executive recruiters over that time. Some of my experiences have been less than stellar. Mike Silverstein, on the other hand, has always outperformed my expectations. He holds honesty and integrity to the highest regard. Mike always produces top talented individuals for my openings and we have hired 100% of the folks he has recommended that we have interviewed. The value that Mike has brought us over the last year exceeds the cost of his services. If you have any questions about Mike or his track record of success please don’t hesitate to contact me.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Mike for my recent job search. He took the time to get to know me, and to figure out what exactly I was looking for in a job. He was excellent with following up on my questions, and clearly outlined the pros and cons of the several opportunities that were available. Throughout the process, he was helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and great advice. And in the end, I found a perfect job for my skills – one I wouldn’t have gotten without Mike’s help. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for new opportunities.”

“Michael has always been an excellent resource. His personality, persistence and professionalism make him a success in his business. His resources allow him to have access to some of the best talent and his commitment to both vendor and client is exceptional. I look forward to working with Michael again.”
