I've been working with focus staff for a while now, and I really don't have any complaints. My recruiter Brodie is very attentive and he works very hard to make sure everything is on track. This was my first time doing traveling and I can say out of all the different agency, working with Brodie and focus staff became my number one agency of choice.
