He was looking for a legit match rather than just putting another person in front of his client. Arran guided me through the process and interviews, always following up after each interview plus providing feedback as things progressed.

“I have been contacted by Oakstone International several times over the years, but the timing hasn’t been right until this year. Oakstone and Arran Campbell want not only you to truly succeed in the process of finding a new job and challenges but also to get to know you as a person. This isn’t always the case with some other players in the market. They work tight with you as a candidate in keeping you continuously up-to-speed with relevant information about development and how you’re potentially positioned against other candidates. Once I told Arran that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had Mino Raiola as an agent, and I had Arran. If you’re serious in your search for a new role and job, Oakstone International should definitely be on your radar. If Arran Campbell is your “partner in crime”, you’re in for a ride.”

His persistence was unique, as I have dealt with recruiters who fit the stereotype of going quiet and only caring about the commission. Arran could not be further from that. If all the team at Oakstone are like Arran, I highly recommend them.”
