“From the moment Burnice reached out via LinkedIn, I felt she had a genuine interest in me beyond the reason we were even connected (the role). When you added Tristan to the process and Josie for coordination, it was clear that Oakstone saw my value and wanted to treat it respectfully.

At every stage of the process, I could speak openly about my situation, the other recruitment process running concurrently with their role, and what I was looking for in my next step.

Every piece of advice and insight offered was correct and helpful to every interaction with the hiring company. It truly felt as though they cared about my career.

Most recruiters are quick to build a false relationship and let it die faster. Burnice and Tristan were not that.

For anyone who has the pleasure of working with Burnice, it'll be a refreshing change from the norm. I couldn't recommend her (and Oakstone) enough based on her open communication, honesty, and responsiveness.”

“At first I was surprised that an English recruiter company contacted me on LinkedIn. Especially as I only wanted to work and was searching in Germany. Nevertheless, I got in touch with them. I was very surprised, especially by their friendliness, care and absolute professionalism. My first contact was Tijan and she made me feel that I was in good hands. Communication, pro-active information and always available when it came to more detailed questions. Unfortunately, the first job didn't work out. But she didn't give up and passed me on to her colleague. Burnice was ultimately able to help me get a great new job and I'm looking forward to it. I was fascinated by her professional way of communicating and always keeping me up to date. I would like to thank the whole team for their efforts and can highly recommend this company. As a job seeker, company or "open to something new", you are in great hands there. Thank you very much. Ralf Eulgem.”

“They really are experts in the field of recruitment. I had contact with two of their recruiters and I can only say that it was a very professional working attitude. The information flowed regularly and pro-actively. Everything was very timely and personal. In the end, an opportunity led to success and I start on the first of April. Many thanks to Tijan and Burnice for their really professional way of helping you find the right job. Thank you very much and best regards!”

“Only upon reflecting on my experience to write this review has it truly dawned on me that Oakstone is a recruitment company. That is a testament to a number of things

1) The partnership approach

2) Them (specifically Burnice) having my best interest at heart vs. forcing a fit for commission purposes

3) For this particular role, Burnice demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the Employer, the personality of the hiring managers and their reporting lines all the way up to the CEO, the company focus, direction, priorities and culture; most importantly, she was clear on the type of attitude, the philosophical and practical approach the application of the ideal candidate’s skill set and personality that would provide the best-fit outcome for candidate and employer.

4) Her conviction and belief in the fit between myself and the now soon-to-be new employer was inspiring, and even more so when I experienced why she had such a belief in the fit myself (as the interview stages progressed). It definitely NEVER felt like pressure or a selfish belief she had that didn’t have a strong basis in understanding...etc

5) She also basically provided everything I needed - presenting all of it like a project pack/portfolio containing all I needed to know about the company and the individuals involved in the process - that was impressive as it made my research starting point a lot easier

6) Lastly, Burnice and I could have very candid and robust conversations to get on the same page about any concerns, queries, approaches to negotiations, realistic outcomes...etc. Not once did I experience that guilt or pressure when I knew you have to tell the recruiter that the role wasn't right, but they cannot see it because they are under pressure to hit targets and fill a role, and you happen to be the only decent fish they have found in their net! LOL!

They even offered to send me a card - for landing me my ideal and the best offer of my career-seeking campaign!!!! Fantastic experience. I hope I will not have to use Oakstone again anytime soon - but if I do, then I will be happy to.”

“Burnice is a class act and found a position which was perfect for me. Throughout the whole process she was professional, polite, helpful and a wonderful mediator. If I was looking for a recruiter or a recruitment company to help my company hire, I would look no further than Oakstone. Burnice, I know you keep saying that the candidates do the hard work but I really appreciate your ability to match candidates with suitable roles and would not have my new job without you. Thanks”
