Pros
Kayla Trevino has been absolutely phenomenal as my recruiter. She’s quick to get on the contracts I’ve requested, responsive, and helpful. Kayla has displayed professionalism with every interaction. She has no issues bargaining to get as close to my needs as requested and keeps me updated with every development. I’m thrilled to have her in my corner and look forward to a continued partnership!

I have no cons with Kayla! The only thing I could say would be I hope Host acquires more contracts in my area so I can continue working with her.
