“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.”
