BGC Partners

Written By Oakstone International
“Oakstone is better than any of the other recruiter we have used because they simply listen to our feedback. We don’t have people who are presented to us, who for example, are possibly going to move, they find candidates who are motivated candidates who are motivated to join us and Oakstone find those people in good time.”
— Matt Smith, Vice President of BGC Partners
