November Feedback

“Arran's level of communication, enthusiasm and transparency in the interview process was top-notch. He really is looking out for you, the human being, not just as another number. He wants to make sure there is mutual alignment and puts your needs/asks above else so that you only have to focus on the interview process. Even being located in different time zones to provide updates/feedback didn't stop him (I'm convinced he doesn't sleep!). He is a fantastic relationship-builder, an incredible help and has an immense amount of passion for what he does. Thank you, Arran!”

J.C. regarding their experience with Managing Consultant Tom Richardson.

“Top-notch service from Luke, who kept me abreast of developments every step of the way. He found me a position that perfectly matched my skillset (a nice change from being pushed into applying for a position just because I have a few keywords on my CV). Luke made the whole process run smoothly and managed expectations on both sides. I'd happily use him as my recruiter again.”

J.C. regarding their experience with Senior Consultant Luke Garman. The candidate was placed at Moody’s.

“It's been great working with Tom, Tristan and Josie from the Oakstone team. From bringing a fantastic opportunity to me right through the entire process to offer - they've been a joy to work with. As a candidate, understanding the process, being prepped ahead of interviews, getting insights into stakeholders and receiving thorough, timely feedback is key, and Oakstone gets this spot on. They go over and above, and I would highly recommend them.”
