Great support

I fully recommend Oakstone. They did a great job by aligning my skills and experience with the role they proposed. They supported me during the full recruitment process, helping to prepare the interviews. Always organizing debriefing after each step, reactive and proactive. Special thanks to Tristan.

Fantastic end-to-end experience

Ollie was great throughout the process; totally focussed on getting me the best possible package (whilst maintaining integrity with the client, obviously). Expert guidance and great to bounce ideas off. I can't recommend Ollie and Oakstone highly enough.

Arran Campbell - Phenomenal recruiter!

I had the pleasure of working with Arran Campbell, and I highly recommend him! From our very first conversation, Arran took the time to understand my career goals, skills, and preferences, ensuring that the opportunity he presented was a great fit.

Throughout the process, Arran was incredibly supportive, communicative, and proactive. He kept me updated at every stage, provided valuable interview tips, and advocated for me. His professionalism and genuine enthusiasm made what can often be a stressful process feel seamless and exciting. Arran is a pleasure to work with!

I worked with Ollie and he was awesome

I worked with Ollie and he was awesome. The entire experience from beginning to end was efficient but comprehensive. The communication was top notch, Ollie connected with me before and after each interaction with the company I was interviewing with. He did a great job at setting proper expectations and keeping the process moving quickly. I’ve worked with many recruiters over my career and I can say that this was one of my most seamless experiences.

Amazing Process and Resource

Andy was incredible. His expertise in the hiring process helped me to understand what was expected but also guided me on the company and ensured my skills aligned to the position they were hiring for. I have never felt so excited about a company after the interview and hiring process, primarily due to the staff at Oakstone outlining the process and assisting.

Easy to work with - Five Star Experience

Oakstone was a five star experience and a pleasure to work with.
Sam, and the rest of the team I worked with at Oakstone, did a great job from start to finish. They were communicative, easy to get a hold of, and set clear expectations at each step of the process. It was much appreciated!

The BEST recruiting company I have EVER…

The BEST recruiting company I have EVER had the pleasure to work with. Arran was more than just a recruiter, and his hands on approach to the process was the best i have ever seen. Arran's genuineness for his clients showed every time we spoke. (Coach, Mentor and Friend)

He took the time to really understand who I am, and what i desired most in my next role. We worked closely together every step of the interview process, and ultimately i got the job! Huge thanks Arran! You're the Best!

What a great experience with the teak at Oakstone

What a great experience with a recruiter! Transparency and excellent communications throughout the entire process. Arran would call and check to make sure I was prepared for each step and to check in right after each phase to see how it went and how I was feeling. If you are fortunate enough to work with the team you will be extremely happy.

Best firm in the market

This was not my first experience working with a recruiter/head hunting agency but this was certainly my best experience.

The Oakstone team, starting with Hayley was exceptional through the whole process. From initial conversation through the offer. All questions were answered with the utmost integrity, while also being available for discussion at all hours of the day.

Hayley listened, advocated and set expectations flawlessly and I cannot recommend Hayley and the Oakstone Team high enough. 10/10. Thank you so much to Hayley for being so great.

Ollie Hill, a truly trusted advisor

I was contacted by Ollie Hill on Mid Sept for a potential job opportunity. He clearly presented and explained the environment giving me the elements to evaluate what, from the beginning, was my bread and butter. He dedicated his time focusing on the stakeholders to bring the deal home with great effectiveness never leaving a single aspect uncovered. Summary: competent, dedicated, focused on objectives. Thanks Ollie

Working with Arran was an absolute pleasure

Working with Arran was an absolute pleasure. He was courteous and respectful of my wishes and was a great communicator throughout the process.

This process can be a stressful one, but the Oakstone team (Tristan helped a ton towards the end) made hard conversations easier to have and were truly invested in me as a candidate.

I would absolutely work with Arran and the Oakstone team again. Highly recommend.
