Ben Whaley
Recruitment Consultant
Ben has spent time competing internationally for the British Sailing Team, winning multiple National and European championships. Having completed a master’s degree at the University of Southampton, Ben was drawn in by the focused but welcoming atmosphere at Oakstone and is now excited to get to grips with working as a recruiter, where he can apply his dual passions for helping people achieve their goals and delivering a professional service.

S.B. regarding their experience with Recruitment Consultant Ben Whaley. The candidate joined Introhive as an Account Executive in the UK.
“I was first contacted by Ben for an interesting opportunity and, shortly after, a second time by Tristan for another client. Turned out the first opportunity did not work because the client had decided so, but thanks to the excellent advice I received from Tristan, I managed to sign with my new employer. Oakstone really makes a difference when it comes to keeping you posted on the job opportunity, either positively OR not, and helping you close your own deal.”
