Not just a number

I made the switch from another agency a couple years ago and am really glad I did. I have been traveling for a total of almost 5 years, so I have a pretty decent gauge from a pre and post pandemic perspective. Fusion checks all of my boxes and then some as a company (day one benefits/PTO after you have worked with them for a set amount of hours, etc). As we know a recruiter can make or break your experience and Josh K. is all of the things I could ask for in a great recruiter. I know he truly cares and has my back. Glad I found Fusion!!
