“I have worked with so many executive search firms over my 30+ years in the industrial automation industry, however, I have never worked with one as talented and professional as Josh Olgin. He has a high level attention – to – detail and was extremely proactive throughout the entire time that I interfaced with him. Even after he had placed me he continued to call to check on me to see if there was anything he could do to help with the transition. This is a level of customer service that I have never seen from an Executive Recruiter. I would highly recommend Josh Olgin to anyone seeking a position in the Industrial Automation marketplace. The only negative I can possibly think of is he is a Ohio State Buckeye…so with me being a Michigan grad I found it difficult to interface with him on some days! :)”

“Josh found me my dream job in sales and automation. His professionalism and industry experience stands out and is evident since my initial contact with Josh. I have shared his services because I know the value he brings to his clients.”
Drew D’Agostino, Territory Sales Representative, SCHUNK | Candidate
“I had the privilege of working with Josh a few years ago when I started with KUKA. He was a great resource and seems to have a knack for connecting people with the appropriate position. I have referred many of my connections to Josh when they have been job searching in the past…and would greatly recommend him to anyone in the Robotic/Automation community.”
Matt Charles, Business Development – Midwest at Mobile Industrial Robots ApS
“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.”
Philip Borchert, Senior Software Engineer, Cornerstone Automation (CASI) | Candidate
“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.”

“Jason was great to work with, he listened to what requirement we had for the position and looked hard for the right candidates. He was flexible and good at communicating what was next in the process. I would recommend Jason to others as he was very easy to work with.”
Ann Britten, HR Manager, Optima Machinery Corporation | Client
“Jason was always very responsive, followed-up on a regular basis and we had an overall good relationship. I valued the honest, open communication Jason provided throughout the process. He gave us good candidates throughout, offered good advice in the process from what he saw, and listened to my responses to really tailor who he was looking for to present to us. Overall it was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend using Jason Herbert as your recruiter.”
Martin Hack, VP and General Manager, L.B. Bohle, LLC | Client
“We had used Cherie to fill a very difficult and complex role in our organization. Cherie really helped with the whole process from refining the job description, to identifying key skill sets, and evaluating each candidate. Communication with Cherie was great and I felt extremely prepared during interviews which made our hiring process much easier.”
William Minaeff, Head of North American Implementation, Korber Medipak | Client
“Tom Clark from Direct Recruiters facilitated an absolutely seamless transition from active duty military service to a phenomenal opportunity I would have never found on my own. Working with Direct Recruiters was a much different experience than many other firms specifically focused on placing junior military officers separating from military service. Instead of quickly ushering me to the next hiring conference or similar event, Tom sought me out for specific roles which allowed me to capitalize on my experience and interests. Prior to interviewing, he provided me a wealth of information about the company and individuals I would be meeting with and several practice sessions. He was also incredibly helpful in assisting me translate the skills and experience gained from nine years of service into relatable terminology for the private sector. I am absolutely recommending Tom Clark from Direct Recruiters as a first contact to any of my peers also separating from service.”
Taylor | Candidate
“I can only describe my experience working with Direct Recruiters, and having Tom Clark as my recruiter, as outstanding from start to finish. Prior to working with Tom, I had a lot of difficulty finding a career at the level and compensation that I thought I was worth. Tom guided me through the interviewing process from the beginning, helping translate the skills and experience I had gained through the military into terms that were more relatable to the civilian job market. Tom did an excellent job of presenting my background to the company I am currently employed with. I honestly felt like half the battle had been won by Tom prior to myself even interviewing. He kept my current company interested and excited about the opportunity to have me as an employee. In addition, Tom always made sure that I was prepared and well-rehearsed for each interview. In between interviews Tom always kept me updated and informed on how the process was moving along and what I should expect next. I would recommend Tom and Direct Recruiters to any transitioning Active Duty leaders, as well as those serving in the Reserves or National Guard!”
