Carlos is one of the most "professional" recruiters I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His obvious strength is developing strong personal relationships with candidates which has benefited him in developing strong candidate networks of passive candidates. What really sticks out is his personal integrity and his willingness to go the extra mile when called upon. He is a real team player and a someone you can always count on.
