I've been with Preferred Healthcare Staffing (Solutions) for just about 11 weeks and I cannot give a 6 star review for my recruiter because there isn't one, Vince Hull. He was referred to me by a fellow tech and frankly, I don't want to be a traveler with anyone else. Vince is very responsive and open and ready to hear about any of my concerns and I've found him to be very attentive. I love it here!
