“Tom reached out to me via LinkedIn. From the first call on I had a great experience and he helped me with all the questions I had. Because I was also interviewing at another Firm, I had a lot of time pressure and had to rush the interview process. Tom helped me here at every step and even answered my calls from his tent on his family vacation. I felt valued and cared for, which is not true with many other recruiting firms. All in all, I had an outstanding experience.”

“Only good things to say having worked with Oakstone since 2018. The team takes the time to really understand your strengths and what you are looking for. They only suggest strong matches vs other recruiters who flood you with roles that are partial matches at best. If you want to make a career move that has a high chance of great success then you’ll be in good hands with Andy, Ollie, and team.”

“5* service, personal touch, a pleasure to work with, hit the mark, listen, hold your hand, encourage. Match the right people to the right roles ... this is only a handful of positive things I can say about Oakstone. I worked with Tom as the recruiter, and as an HR professional, I can say with my hands on my heart that he is the best recruiter I have ever met! From when he left me a voice note to headhunt me to when he called me to tell me I had 'the job' - he really went through the journey with me... I look forward to working with them as a client :-). Paul and his team really have something special here!”

“My experience with Oakstone was quite positive overall. Tijan and Andy were incredibly organized and thorough in their orchestration of the interview/hiring process. They provided clear guidance and consistent follow up at every stage to solicit my feedback and sentiment, and advise me on next steps. I have interacted with many talent acquisition organizations in my career, but few have been so welcoming, thoughtful, professional, and reliable as Oakstone. With so many variables that impact the process from start to finish, Tijan and Andy ensured I felt informed and supported at every turn, and that made all the difference for me! Thank you Oakstone!”
