Testimonials
“Carlos is one of the most professional people I have ever met. Not only does he bring a very high level of customer service and organizational skills, he possesses people skills on a level seldom seen. If I was starting a company, I would want Carlos on my team! When I heard about Carlos' contract ending, my first thought was "This company does not realize what they have in Carlos.' My second thought was, 'I am embarrassed to be associated with a company that does not know what they have in resource talent.' Carlos is just that valuable, and we all hate to see him leave.”

"I am writing on behalf of Carlos Padilla our IT On-Boarding Service Delivery Manager. I have always believed that Carlos was underutilized at WPX Energy. He is highly intelligent and approaches obstacles with enthusiasm. Before Carlos joined our ranks our On-Boarding processes were notoriously awful. Carlos was able to streamline and handle all aspects including coordination with various groups. He took ownership of the problems he found and was able to find solutions that met the goals of On-Boarding without hindering any related processes. Carlos is well respected by his peers and a joy to work with. I am utterly confident that Carlos will excel in whatever endeavor he chooses to pursue.”

"I greatly enjoyed working with Carlos while he was managing the On-Boarding process for WPX Energy. It was my responsibility to work with Carlos to make certain all IT hardware, cell phone, desk phone, and network access requests were made successfully and in a timely manner for new hires. On-Boarding has a huge impact on the new hire as well as the various groups that need the correct information at the correct time to reduce frustration thus allowing the process to operate smoothly. Carlos is very customer oriented. He takes the time to treat you like a person and immediately acts on it to continually improve the ever-changing and highly complex On-Boarding process. He follows up to find out what is working and what is not working. He accepts feedback graciously and immediately acts on it to continually improve the ever-changing process.”

"Carlos Padilla is a wonderful person to work with. He is detailed oriented, organized, and always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. He is great at creating new procedures and smoothing out existing ones to the benefit of everyone involved. I am sorry to see him depart from his current position, and would hire him in a heartbeat if it were my decision to do so.”
