What do our clients say?

"If we have obvious candidates in our networks, most hiring managers tend to go there first. Beyond that, you have to sell yourself as the hiring manager. You also need to sell the organisation and the journey that they're on and, therefore, the opportunity for the candidate. Now, if that can come from a longstanding name in the industry like Oakstone, it has a degree of third-party validation. And that's, I think, one of the key reasons that we would use a firm like Oakstone."

Nick Bareham - Revenue Leader and Fractional CRO
"I can recommend this team for their depth of expertise and domain knowledge. It goes deeper than this as Paul's team have an uncanny knack of working with the players in the sectors before they break into the mainstream. Opportunity for everyone."

SVP Logmein
"One of the things I've done a lot of is open up US companies into Europe. I can think of many examples where I needed to hire rapidly. Oakstone were outstanding; they got me the right people at the right time. Two of the hires that they made for me I've hired into other roles in companies in my portfolio. It's really about the quality. If you get good people, particularly in sales, they onboard quickly, you ramp them quickly, they get to quota quickly, and you can just be relying on that skillset.”

Martin Moran - Advisor, One Peak Partners Growth Investors & founding member at Salesforce.com
"Companies work with Oakstone because they bring great value, integrity and honesty to the conversation. I’ve never found Oakstone to be afraid of saying it how it is – they give advice, guidance and insight to the market and have good quality candidates who are well coached and understand the opportunity."

Will Lovatt - PROS GM

It goes deeper than this as Paul's team have an uncanny knack of working with the players in the sectors before they break into the mainstream. Opportunity for everyone.”

Chris Manton Jones - SVP Worldwide Sales, LogMeIn
"I like the candidates that are put forward. They are exactly what I'm looking for."

Joe Jouhal - Avatu CEO
"With Oakstone, you understand me, you understand what I need, you understand my team culture and those things are important but also what I see in Oakstone is a company that knows the market place and knows people rather that someone who just knows CVs and knows profiles."

Mike Ferguson - VP EMEA, Redpoint Global
"The track record speaks for itself – the candidates which have come through over the years from Oakstone have been really high quality and we have hired a lot of people off the back of introductions that Oakstone has made."

Phil Young - VP Sales, Tealium
"I think Oakstone is better than others" "The best thing about working with Oakstone deep, personal relationship. Early on in my time at Coupa we really relied on Oakstone to help and be an accelerant for us in Europe and the EMEA region. I think Oakstone is better than others because of their deep connections they build and they take their time to understand the culture of an organisation."

Alex Kleiner - Previous VP Customer Success, Coupa
‘Oakstone is better than any of the other recruiters we have used because they simply listen to our feedback. We don’t have people who are presented to us, who for example, are possibly going to move, they find candidates who are motivated candidates who are motivated to join us and Oakstone find those people in good time.’

Matt Smith - VP, BGC Partners
"I’ve actually known Oakstone for over 20 years and always utilise the relationship I’ve had with Paul and with Steve and Tristan – they understand the quality of people I like, with the particular experiences and skill sets that I look for within people that I can put in a sales environment."

Martin Hucker - VP Sales, Surecloud
"Overall very responsive and professional with a demonstration of a wealth of negotiating experience which enables us to manage the recruitment process effectively."

Nick Pegram - Head of EMEA, LogMeIn
"The significant value added in terms of the service that Oakstone delivers? – my organisation recently did a cost analysis of each day we go by without filling a headcount, particularly in sales – it’s a lot of money. Oakstone help us deliver results by bringing in talent sooner rather than later – that is of considerable value."

Robin Martin - Sales Director
"Over the following 3 years I worked exclusively with Andy and Oakstone to search out the best talent to join our Sales and PreSales teams in EMEA – the results were excellent with Oakstone recruiting 35 people for us which was about 75% of the EMEA team. Partnering with Oakstone was a real win win – I recommend them highly.”

Bijan Bedroud - SVP & GM Salesforce
"Their specialisations are really in a number of areas – technical skills, business skills and the third and most important thing for me is personality, is this personality really going to fit into my current team and really not upset the team ethic? That’s how I would differentiate Oakstone from other recruitment consultants."

Neil Lewis - Director of Solutions Consulting, Prewave
"They have really taken the time to understand Alfresco and this comes across in the quality of the candidates. Oakstone has placed strong senior sales and marketing talent within Alfresco and we often retain Oakstone on senior level searches throughout EMEA. Andy has personally successfully led retained campaigns for us in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Benelux and Spain."

Paul Hennessey - Global Head of Talent
"Over the past four years, Oakstone has sourced many key hires for us in EMEA, across all departments – key managers, sales executives, pre-sales and professional services team members. Their focus on delivery, cultural fit, background checks, transparency and overall professionalism fits well with our own company ethos. This has reflected in the high retention of people we’ve hired through Oakstone”

Rob Bernshteyn - Previous CEO, Coupa
"Oakstone tend to have a lot more knowledge about what we do as a business, they care about candidates and they’re able to support their career and our vision rather than just try to sell a role. It’s more about the people.”

Simon Patteson - VP Sales, Icertis
"It’s the personal touch and the amount of work that goes into finding the right people. To find the right people, understand what you’re looking for and then and match them to the roles is what sets Oakstone apart. Consistent, trustworthy and reliable”

Will Goodall - VP Northern Europe, Basware
"When I started at Icertis, Oakstone was an existing recruiter. We had an incredible amount of heads to fill. I quickly became aware of the depth of how much you knew about our business and so its been a partnership ever since. You’ve taken the time to get to know our business, all of our people. You know what our customers want and you look after us by bringing us the standards we require.”
