Our Partners

80% of the clients we work with feature in the Gartner Magic Quadrant or Forrester Wave Reports.

We work with these companies to source, headhunt and attract talent globally to build and enhance their teams in executive leadership and GTM roles.

As an executive recruitment firm, we believe in creating global networks of talented people for SaaS market leaders. We do what we do because we care about the people we find to work for your business; we want them to believe what your company believes in so they are passionate about the opportunities you offer them.

Oakstone Directors Tristan and Steve

We care deeply about the planet, corporate responsibility and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re a partner of One Tree Planted to plant 10 trees for every placement made.

Trees clean our air and water, create habitats for biodiversity, contribute to our health and well-being, and create jobs for social impact. We’re honoured to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.
