“From the moment Burnice reached out via LinkedIn, I felt she had a genuine interest in me beyond the reason we were even connected (the role). When you added Tristan to the process and Josie for coordination, it was clear that Oakstone saw my value and wanted to treat it respectfully.
At every stage of the process, I could speak openly about my situation, the other recruitment process running concurrently with their role, and what I was looking for in my next step.
Every piece of advice and insight offered was correct and helpful to every interaction with the hiring company. It truly felt as though they cared about my career.
Most recruiters are quick to build a false relationship and let it die faster. Burnice and Tristan were not that.
For anyone who has the pleasure of working with Burnice, it'll be a refreshing change from the norm. I couldn't recommend her (and Oakstone) enough based on her open communication, honesty, and responsiveness.”
