When I was at Leidos in the Energy Sector, Charlie was our lead contact at Talisman and an invaluable partner whenever my team needed to find transmission and substation engineers. Sourcing niche technical talent in the US power sector is no small feat, especially given the fierce competition and tight pay rates but Charlie consistently delivered top-tier candidates. What set him apart was his proactive communication and genuine spirit of partnership; he always kept us in the loop when great talent hit the market and was upfront about where he could add the most value. Even though we've both moved on to new chapters, his candidate delivery, niche sourcing, and client relationship management are second to none. I highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking to partner with him at Ampion!
