“Mike, your company’s thorough diligence about our needs, the job description, the location, candidate duties, competitive industries, and compensation ranges allowed us to convey exactly what we were needing in our candidates. This information in turn allowed your team to find the exact fit we needed. The end result has been employees that quickly gained the necessary knowledge to become productive team members in a very short time. I would highly recommend your approach, and your services to any other business that needs immediate results from a professional, results oriented company.”

“Mike is one of the most tenacious yet understanding recruiters I have ever worked with in my career. He has proven to be honest, trust worthy and committed to finding win-win situations for all parties involved. I would work with Mike again and definitely plan to refer trusted colleagues to him.”

“It is my pleasure to offer my recommendation to Mike Silverstein, the Director of Healthcare IT at Direct Recruiters. Mike is a diligent professional that has a strong understanding of the Healthcare market and is easy to work with. Mike puts his clients first, works with a high level of integrity and does not look to force a fit. He operates with long term interests in mind and brings a great deal of value to the recruiting process. Mike works hard to provide great results while looking to accomplish his goal the right way. ”

“Mike, thank you for all your efforts and I know we will be in touch for other searches. You have done an excellent job bringing talent our way and I have been very impressed with your professionalism and abilities.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with many recruiters and typically avoid them. I’ve made an exception for Mike (Silverstein) who’s the lead Healthcare IT recruiter for Direct Recruiters. Mike is a collaborative partner that produced multiple high quality candidates for my consideration. He offers an unbiased assessment and never tried to force a fit or make a deal. He’s genuine and acts with long term interest in mind. I consider Mike a valued, strategic resource.”

“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.”
