Rachel reached out to me via LinkedIn about an open job opportunity at Forrester and right from the start she was truly wonderful. She really did go ABOVE and BEYOND in every aspect, when she didn’t have to. I have interviewed with a lot of companies over the years and have worked in the recruitment industry also, and the way Rachel treated me and interacted with me throughout my entire recruitment process was outstanding. We are very lucky to have her here at Forrester in my opinion.
