Testimonials

Darryl is a true professional and expert in his field. His broad range of business exposure brings a much needed overall view the needs of his clients and customers. Darryl has the ability to drive projects to fruition even under difficult circumstances.

ESS has been by far the most efficient service that we have ever used. They have submitted only candidates that were well suited to the position, so they have made the process very simple, quick and painless on our end. I would estimate that we have hired 75% of all of the candidates that they have submitted to us. I hesitate to recommend ESS, as we would prefer to keep them all to ourselves!

Craig Busch, President -- The Busch Group of Companies

Darryl is efficient! He has a great ability to read people and their needs which meant finding me exactly the right person for the job! I will call Darryl again without hesitation should the need arise.

Darryl, as a professional recruiter, cares. He cares about you, the skills you bring to the table, and your future. His skill sets and experience enable him to see between the lines and that is a huge benefit to his clients, whether they are people, small businesses or corporations. I can recommend him as the key person to move things forward in your life or your business. If you are looking for a job or people to fill jobs, Darryl, at ESS Direct should be your first call.

Doug Jernigan, DVM -- November 9, 2010

Darryl is an experienced, expert in the recruiting field. Whenever my firm is looking to fill a position, Darryl at ESS Direct is my go to guy. I can always depend on him to get me the right candidate, with the right qualifications, at the right salary.

Many staffing agencies take the "shotgun approach" to staffing: they put forth dozens of candidates in the hopes that one of them might be a good fit. However Darryl Simpson is not your typical recruiter. Darryl takes the extra effort to fully understand both the employer and candidate. As a result, Darryl has built a solid reputation of finding the perfect fit, every time. I confidently recommend Darryl Simpson, from ESS Direct.

Darryl is a very client-focused HR professional. I used him extensively to hire general labourers for temporary work at my manufacturing oriented facility. In a world where finding good temp-work providers is very difficult, Darryl did an outstanding job providing me with labour that was very capable and efficient. I eventually hired one of the labourers he provided me. He communicates very clearly and honestly. He was always attentive and happy to take my call regardless of the time of day. A solid business partner that I would be very happy to recommend.

Using Darryl and ESS is like having our own HR department without the overhead cost. When we consider the time and cost of placing ads, taking phone calls, qualifying stacks of resumes, interviewing candidates, doing reference checks, etc., we are convinced that we save money by using Darryl's service. If you have never used a professional recruiter or had a bad experience with another agency, I highly recommend talking to Darryl and the team at ESS

Ron Clark, President -- RenoBox, Inc. January 29, 2010

I had been looking for a registered massage therapist to join my wellness centre, The Healing Oasis, for 5 months with little success. I had interviewed only a handful of applicants and none were what we were looking for. Darryl was able to find out who exactly I was looking for and delivered! Within 2 weeks of hiring Darryl of ESS Direct, he had screened, interviewed and found the perfect candidate for me. This saved me time and money. I appreciate his expertise and service. I would recommend Darryl and ESS Direct to anyone who is searching for that perfect employee.
