I worked with Frank Rondeau; he had the ability to get me placed in my location super quick! He knew what I was looking for and he was able to get me there, Fast. I honestly think I was placed within 2 weeks of our first conversation. He followed up after every interview and every meeting.

Thanks Frank! Keep up the great work!

Frank Rondeau created an Excellent Customer Service Experience!

Thank you,
