Helen restored my faith in the recruitment professionals. What I really respect and love about Helen is the way she manages her clients from major companies to candidates. If the other resource, recruitment, and talent acquisition organisations followed Helen’s way the jobs market both in the short term as well as the long term would improve sustainably. I admire Helen’s professionalism, positive outlook, and relentless energy to change people’s lives.

One of Helen’s strengths is that she knows what she is good at and sticks to it! As a result, she is knowledgeable and well-networked in the power, utilities, and renewables market allowing her to add value to both recruiters and candidates. Her commitment and passion come across whether it is in the area of recruitment or also in support of women in engineering and energy. She is persistent, professional, and a good communicator.

I have known and worked with Helen Charteris for more than 20 years in the specialist area of senior-level recruitment and executive search in the energy, utilities, and power sectors. As a recruiter, I have been involved with Helen over a number of assignments, both specialist technical, business, and also executive levels. In all areas, I have found Helen’s depth of domain expertise and knowledge in power and energy to be first-rate, with a very extensive network and business understanding.

Helen supported my application with one of her clients, and to be honest, from the beginning, you can notice how different she is from other recruiters. She has a human-oriented approach, which is all about the persons you will work with more than the company itself. In my opinion, this is really what matters most.

Her approach and follow-up with me even after I accepted the offer is quite different from other agencies where the contract to them is just a deal they want it finished, and it is done for them after that. It is really a pleasant experience dealing with her.

Thanks, Helen, and I really mean the words up there.
