Welcome to the team

This month we welcome Jake to the FinTech team. Welcome to the team Jake!

Jake will be working closely with Dan Hammond Smith on front end development hires into the UK and EU based FinTechs.

I’m delighted to have Danny and Jake join our team this October and am excited be part of their journey as they learn and develop their skills further within Oakstone.
Collaboration has been a huge focus internally at Oakstone, which stems way before my time joining the business. I take great pride knowing they sit within a team which move as one and want the highest level of success for everyone in the room. Danny and Jakes energy and enthusiasm over their first few days has been contagious, I look forward to their future.

October Feedback

I have had a brilliant experience working with Oakstone International to find my new role. Tom Richardson in particular has been amazing! The kind of experienced recruitment professional you want to work with as a candidate at leadership level. Always a phone call away, very proactive, great communication and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend and will definitely work with Oakstone again as a hiring manager or a candidate.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Oakstone. Lexie was so incredibly thoughtful and professional every step of the way - even connecting me with Tristan while she was out of office to ensure that the process was seamless as I worked with my prospective employer from first interview to my offer letter.

I had a wonderful experience working with Arran at Oakstone. From our first call, Arran took a very thoughtful and considerate approach. He took the time to understand me as a person, and identify my potential motivations for exploring a new opportunity, as well as understanding my strengths and experience, and how it may be a good fit for the role. Arran did a great job of staying in touch and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend working with him enough! I now consider Arran a good friend who I will continue to keep in touch with.

Steve – Thank you for approaching me, for explaining the opportunity so clearly, for correcting my misunderstandings and misconceptions and for helping to change me from “I don’t really understand the significance of this” to “wow I want to learn more”. Then Andy (Hiring Manager) and the team did the rest to make me become “I really want this challenge”. Along the way Steve you were calm when necessary, nagging when required and gave sage advice to both Andy and myself as we discussed.
