“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!”

Arran went above and beyond by checking in after every call, making sure I felt valued and confident.He took the time to understand my goals, provided invaluable guidance, and meticulously reviewed my resume.

“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!”

There was one time when the whole process got very overwhelming for me and I got super anxious, but he motivated me very well. He checked with me the status before and after of every interview. Always a phone call away, very proactive, great communication and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Jake and Oakstone.”

I’ve been approached numerous times by recruitment agencies et/c and this was the best engagement I have experienced.

He was very helpful and would introduce me to his friendly contacts for insight and guidance ahead of certain interviews. He would often check in for a casual catch-up, understanding my considerations and addressing them through his channels on my behalf. His colleague Andy also played a big role in my positive experience with them. Would use again and 100% recommend!”

“From start to finish, very professional. Always happy to talk things through and give you some real advice that will no doubt benefit your career move. They have a very diplomatic and fair approach to client and candidate, will advise both yourself and the client to make the transition from current employer amicable. Nice to know there are decent recruitment agencies out there, and not just to make a quick buck out of you. Should the situation arise again, I will in doubt use their services from both sides of the fence.”
