Pros
Cassie is AMAZING. As a first time traveler, the process was intimidating but Cassie was with me every step of the way, in constant communication, checked in regularly, and advocated for me more than any other recruiter ever has. She made the process painless and stuck with me the entire time! I can’t recommend her enough. :)
