Bev has gone above and beyond to find me work, and been incredibly supportive throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked with several locum agencies in the past, and most of them just do the bare minimum (which I don&#8217;t begrudge). But Bev has been an absolute joy to have as my agent, and I&#8217;ve already referred another colleague to her. Even Veronika in payroll has been very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I haven&#8217;t worked with anyone else in DNA Recruit, but so far I have only good things to say about them.<\/p>\n    <\/h3>\n                <img alt='' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a919e65c4046f79f0a6076094117ce72?s=63&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a919e65c4046f79f0a6076094117ce72?s=126&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-63 photo' height='63' width='63' decoding='async'\/>\n            <p>Ariel Quahe<\/p>\n            <p>Doctor<\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.dnamedicalrecruitment.com.au\/testimonial\/dr-david-khaicy\/\" content=\"Dr David Khaicy\" \/><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-03-25\" \/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2025-03-25\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Supporting your Success in Healthcare with Recruitment | DNA Healthcare\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/dna-medical\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/logo.svg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dnamedicalrecruitment.com.au\/author\/accessthreesixtydigital-com-au\/\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"access@threesixtydigital.com.au\" \/><meta itemprop=\"interactionType\" content=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\" \/><meta itemprop=\"userInteractionCount\" content=\"0\" \/>\n            Candidate\n    <h3>\n    \t<p>Thank you Bey you&#8217;re adorable.
