Pros
I’ve been working with Joey for several months before we finally landed on this assignment, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter. He really takes the time to listen to what I’m looking for and makes a real effort to find opportunities that match my preferences and goals. I never felt pressured into taking something that wasn’t right for me. This whole experience has been smooth and positive because of his support, communication, and patience throughout the process. I’m very grateful to have him as my recruiter and would definitely recommend him to other nurses.
Cons
None.
