Pros
“I had an outstanding experience working with Holly Ryan as my nursing recruiter. From our first conversation, she was professional, honest, and incredibly responsive, always keeping me updated on each step of the process and promptly answering every question I had. Holly took the time to understand my nursing background, schedule needs, and career goals, and she only presented opportunities that were a true fit, which made the entire experience feel personalized rather than transactional. I would highly recommend her to any nurse looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated recruiter who truly advocates for them.”
