  • “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!”

    Laura Kennedy – Recruiting Manager, Navicure, Inc.

  • “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.”

    Bruce Roberson – VP New Business Sales, Healthcare Management Systems, Inc.

  • “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.”

    Kristian Holmberg, M.A. – Executive Sales Director, CPM Resource Center, an Elsevier Business

  • “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.”

    Jim Mullen – Senior Vice President of Sales, T-System, Inc.

  • “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.”

    Dale Edwards – Senior Vice President of Sales, MEDSEEK Inc. (Influence Health)

  • “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.”

    Scott Smith – Chief Sales Officer, API Healthcare (GE Healthcare)

  • “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.”
