Pros
Rachel is an awesome recruiter. She is very responsive, very active, checks in on me regularly, and a great advocate. She is also genuinely a joy to speak to as well. I have been a travel nurse for about 4 years now and she has been the best and my favorite recruiter. I have no complaints and will definitely continue to work with her in the future.
