Barnaby Knibb was a great partner to work with, consistently displaying transparency and persistence and always genuinely keeping my best interests in mind. Unlike other experiences with recruiting firms, I never felt pressure to make decisions that were not fully my own.”

“Oakstone is by far the best agency that I have ever come across, and while your employee standard was high throughout, I can not speak highly enough of Tristan.

"The consultants at Oakstone have been a pleasure to work with. They successfully guided me through a series of interviews at a SaaS startup to take a position leading their UK marketing operations. They made sure I knew exactly what to expect at each stage of the interview process, supporting me with well-considered preparation work and insightful feedback. I would definitely recommend anyone seeking a reliable and honest recruitment agency to contact Oakstone."

"As a candidate its easy to forget the recruitment team in the heat of securing a new role, but you have each invested your time in me and I greatly appreciate that – thank you.I’m very impressed with Oakstone, whilst individuals you possess a shared focus on doing whats right for both client and candidate, focused on long term relationships and the big picture, an approach not common in the recruitment business, certainly something I’ve not experienced before. I imagine that’s part of the Oakstone difference.

Rest assured when asked about recruiters there is only one name I suggest – Oakstone – thanks again for your valued support."

Richard - Sales Director, Software Industry
