“I want to thank you again for your assistance over the past year in helping eHealth Technologies identify candidates for our sales team expansion.  We could not be more pleased with the people we selected from the diverse pool of candidates you provided.  Throughout the entire process the support and guidance provided by you and your team was essential to filling our positions in a timely manner.  I look forward to working on future expansions with you as well.”

“When I joined athenahealth, I had a difficult time finding a trusted partner to use as an outside resource in assisting my search efforts for high-level, niche positions until I started working with Mike Silverstein and his team at Direct Recruiters. They work smart to identify top talent and continue to deliver the caliber and quality of candidates that we are looking to hire.  Mike and his team successfully identified two star candidates for Director-level roles that we would never have found had it not been for the time, energy, and highly qualified team at Direct Recruiters. They are an exceptional group and a trusted extension of our recruiting arm here at athenahealth that I would highly recommend to any organization looking for an expert in the field of talent recruitment. In my opinion they are the whole package.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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, 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.”

“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.”

“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.”
