Candidates We've Worked With

I met Darryl through the recruitment process and found him to be a very easy person to get along with. He holds very good communication skills and we had a long, open and honest discussion during our first meeting. He was very attentive and worked hard to cater all of our discussions and meetings to fit into my schedule. Coming from similar past work backgrounds, he was able to relate his experiences to mine which made the interview process more personal than many others. I would definitely recommend Darryl as a recruiter or for any role that may come his way. - December 2, 2010

Darryl is excellent at what he does. I recently was looking to make a career change but had some concerns. Darryl not only advised me but actually convinced me to apply for an opportunity I had not considered that ultimately turned into my current employment. Darryl stays on top of things, is positive and extremely helpful. He is accessible and truthful, letting you know exactly where things stand with opportunities. He gave me many ideas of what I could do to improve my CV and also gave me some insight into what I may want to do or not do in regards to careers. Darryl clearly knows his market, his clients and his prospects and focuses on what he can do to help all parties succeed. I would definitely consider working with Darryl again and happily recommend him. - January 4, 2011

I met Darryl while on my search for an Engineering position, and while I've worked with other professional recruiters in the past, Darryl has by far exceeded his competition not only in his level of professionalism, but also in his expertise and insight into industry, trends, his clients, and how to best match (my) skills and needs with not just "a" potential employer, but with the best fit with the best future. I would recommend Darryl without hesitation. - March 30, 2011

Darryl conveyed great enthusiasm and a genuine positive interest in explaining job duties and how my skills and qualities suited the job. He shared his knowledge to provide me with an understanding of key skills and abilities that I possessed that would be an asset to have prominent in marketing myself.

He achieves the ability to find a solution to the puzzle, allowing him to get the right person who fits the desired job position being sought. I would recommend Darryl for both finding your desirable career opportunity and to find you an ideal candidate for a position with your company. - February 1, 2011

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

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.
