Report
In alignment with some of the other reviews on here regarding RWR, I would caution any HR professional or recruiter in using RWR services for screening or interviewing applicants. On several occasions, the RWR staff only speak to applicants to gain access to their identifying information with no intention to submit them for review to a job posting. Most recently, I worked with Kasey Menke on my dream job. We spoke briefly on the phone on Feb 9th, she indicated on the phone that she would send me a job description for my review.

Report
I would not recommend this agency. They aggressively pursue you in order to get interviews scheduled and on their books. Afterwards, their follow-up process is terrible and it takes sending multiple emails to get any response from them. I appreciate an agency that is transparent and has great communication while providing honest feedback, regardless of if their client decides to move forward with you or not. Just be upfront....no need to beat around the bush.
