Pros

I have been traveling with ADEX and Lana as my recruiter for nearly 4 years now! I have never had to “fight” for my pay or stipends. Lana has always been my advocate to each facility I’ve traveled too. Lana responds quickly and handles any of questions very quickly. I had gone through several agencies and recruiters before landing with Lana at Adex and I highly recommend them both!

Cons

I actually have nothing bad I can say
