“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!”

Joseph R. | RN

“I originally spoke with Aerin but chose another agency for my first contract. Aerin still kept in contact with me while I was working with the other agency – I actually spoke with her more than my actual recruiter. When I finished that contract, I knew my next contract would be with Aerin. She is a wonderful person to work with and puts me at ease. I wish I had went with her from the beginning.”
