The team was attentive to what I was looking for in employment and very persistent in making sure that I got what I asked for. We had only spoken about 2 weeks at the most before I landed the interview with the company I’m with right now.

I would absolutely recommend working with the DRI team because of the great customer service and attention to detail as far as what I was looking for.”
