“Chelsea was super proactive and responsive throughout the whole process. She was very direct and professional, yet patient with listening to my thoughts and provided great advice. I really enjoyed working with her and the whole experience. Of course, I’m so pleased because I did end up in a dream job when I was not even looking, which is a true testament to DRI’s match making skills and success. Norman was also extremely helpful at key points, e.g. just getting my attention and comp negotiations, and I’m particularly thankful for him just keeping in touch with me until this opportunity opened up.”

“Steve was highly responsive and worked to get me into a role that matched my career goals after taking the time to understand what they were. Prep sessions prior to interviews made sure I knew who I was going to be talking to and what they were looking for so I was always prepared!”

“Great attention to detail, follow up cadence and coaching! I’ve been in contact with Recruiter Firms many times during my career, but I must tell you, DRI and Jessica Marino are at a higher level! Name it interaction, follow up or engagement, I’m very impressed.”

“Steve was with me every step of the way. He provided thorough responses to my questions and checked in regularly to see how things were progressing. Overall experience was excellent. Steve was always available and ready to jump in to assist. Great experience!”

“David really seemed to understand our business and needs for the position, so he didn’t just throw candidates at us to see what sticks like most recruiters. We saw far fewer candidates and had a far quicker recruitment process than we’ve had with other recruiters. We had weekly check-ins via Teams. Far more consistent communication than other recruiters.”

“Ben essentially received me as a lead from Steve Benson and got right to work getting to know me, my goals, and what attributes I was looking for in my next employer. He quickly surfaced the opportunity that I was hired into and was super communicative and helpful throughout the application process. Ben kept me “in the know” holding frequent, unscheduled touch bases to let me know how things were progressing or to help me prep for phases of the interview process.”

“DRI was great! They responded quickly. I referred friends over to DRI that also were placed in jobs in a timely manner. They show they cares and are very great at their job! I have worked with other 3rd party recruiters, DRI is by far the best I have ever worked with! I loved working with DRI. I applied for many jobs and ended up getting interviews for exactly what I was looking for quickly after contacting DRI.”

“I highly recommend Stephen Benson and Direct Recruiters, Inc. From the first time he reached out to me through the offer, he was so personable, professional, and his follow up was awesome! He is a real class act.

Thank you Steve for helping me find my dream job.”

“I really appreciate the partnership we’ve had with Norm, Tyler, and Mitch over the years. They take the time to really know our company, culture, and the roles – this helps them truly deliver the right value prop to the candidates and ensure they’re helping us find the right matches. Always enjoy working with Norm and his team!”

“Though I was not actively seeking new employment at the time, I first became acquainted with the DRI team via LI where they directly engaged with me regarding some viable job opportunities that aligned with my profile.

In my experience, gross assumptions of a candidate’s capabilities (or limitations) based simply on Title/Company/Tenure happen with great frequency across recruiting firms, particularly for sales professionals. Even when the assumptions are based on a recruiter’s previous interactions with others in the same or similar roles, this candidate bias commoditizes the individual in a way that eliminates their unique traits (e.g. soft skills, drive, passion, grit) for potential employers. The results are typically wasted time and unfulfilled goals for all involved. I’m happy to say that DRI broke the mold and did not follow this pattern when working with me.

As a tenured sales professional in the Healthcare IT-Technology space, I was very impressed with how DRI separated themselves from many other recruiters I’ve interacted with in the past by investing the time to better understand my own uniquely developed skillsets for success based on the types of challenges I willingly took on to grow my craft over the years. They sought out my professional interests, delved into my areas of expertise, & showed sincere interest in helping me meet my long-term career goals.

The DRI team is incredibly professional, always returning communications in a timely manner, and remained consistently proactive in seeking updates from potential employers pre & post interview. Once I began to seriously consider roles being presented to me, they were also an invaluable resource in educating me about the key changes & trends involved in the interview/recruiting process since I was last on the market–ensuring I was both comfortable & prepared.”
