Mike first approached me for a VP of Sales position with his client, iSpot.tv who looked to be a very exciting company. At that stage, they were not quite ready to hire, but he kept me informed and when the position eventally went live, I was interviewed by several key people and then flew over to Seattle to meet the management team. I was appointed as the VP of Sales Mid-West, then later promoted to VP of Enterprise Sales.
His company also appointed a total of 9 new business hunters for iSpot during 2018 and 2019.

I worked very closely with Mike in my capacity as the VP of Sales for iSpot.tv. We first asked Mike to find a single new business hunter for us in mid-2018, he quickly delivered the perfect candidate who went on to be very successful.
As iSpot entered a period of aggressive growth, we approached Mayfield Direct Search again to build out the rest of the sales team across multiple US locations. Mike delivered a total of 7 pinpoint perfect candidates, one of which became one of the most successful salespeople in the company. We were so impressed, that we also hired him again to appoint our VP of Sales for the mid-west, she went on to become the VP of Enterprise Sales.
In the sea of largely mediocre Recruiters, this guy is a real breath of fresh air!

I worked with Mike as the Vice President of Sales for the West Coast, focused on hiring new business hunters into iSpot.tv. His company was the main source of sales talent for iSpot, because Mike had consistently delivered by far the best candidates, but more importantly, we did not have to waste time looking at or interviewing unsuitable people.
The large majority of the new business sales team was sourced via Mayfield Direct Search, they were simply head and shoulders above the other recruitment companies we worked with.

Mike approached me for a position with iSpot.tv, they looked to have a very interesting product indeed and the company had a great culture. He clearly understood what I was about and was prepared to consider in my next career move, which aligned very closely with the opportunity he presented.
His 30+ years of hiring people in the technology sector really shows, not many Recruiters I can truly put my hand on my heart in a strong recommendation!
