“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.”

“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!”
