Original Requirements

What were Betterworks’ original requirements in finding a recruitment partner to assist them to land and expand into EMEA?

Betterworks wanted to expand its business by hiring its first people on the ground in EMEA and the UK.  They wanted 2 x salespeople and 1 x presales person in the UK first and therefore wanted to work with Oakstone to attract the best people within the industry to fuel their growth and ensure success. Oakstone worked with Betterworks proactively to search for the right network and industry to secure the best people.  

Why was Oakstone the best choice?

Oakstone was the best choice to work with Betterworks due to our extensive experience in the HR and HCM space, having built teams in the UK for companies such as SuccessFactors, Cornerstone on Demand, PeopleDoc, Taleo and Saba.  Oakstone had also previously worked with the CEO of Betterworks whilst at his previous companies, Alfresco and Successfactors, where Oakstone successfully hired over 60 people globally.

How has Oakstone successfully delivered?

Oakstone utilised our extensive network and experience to reach out to the best people for the open positions. We were able to successfully network and introduce these people to Betterworks and the company was able to make successful hires through the assistance of Oakstone.

What is the future for the Betterworks and Oakstone Relationship?

Betterworks’ growth plans involve expanding further into EMEA, something which Oakstone will be willing to assist in.
