“I’ve been traveling for a few years now, and taken on assignments with several companies. Never have I had a recruiter like Aerin Alexander. Besides me reaching out just for a general question, Aerin always checked in with me to make sure things were going smooth while on my assignment. Aerin became more than just a recruiter, she’s a genuine friend asset to AMP, I can’t wait to cross paths with her again, and I pray God blesses her and grants her every wish – she’s a jewel!”
