“It has been a great pleasure to work with Oakstone through the entire process, specifically with Tina:

- She phoned me often to provide updates, which I greatly appreciated.

- She provided me with very useful information (company information, job description, current situation, etc. and convenient tips for covering all areas I needed for the interviews.

Additionally, Josie did a great job when organizing video calls with the company: info included was fantastic, which included valuable info: link to LinkedIn profiles.”

‘I am beyond thrilled that Tristan sought me out and persevered with the interview process, as I was not at all a warm lead for him!!

Aside from competing with an internal promotion during my best year at Gartner and being approached by Google (my dream company), Tristan did an excellent job of connecting me to the right people within CVI that would help overcome any concerns/questions I had, prove what an exceptional organisation it was, and why I'd be a great fit.

I was also disinterested in working for a small company , so he really had the odds stacked against him...

Having worked in recruitment and liaised with recruiters many times over the years, I've not met anyone who knows their client as intimately as Tristan knows and promotes CVI - it was as if he worked there himself.

I am extremely grateful and VERY happy with my decision to join the CVI team, and Tristan is entirely responsible for this.’

“I’ve known Andy Strong for several years now; he has helped me source Sales members in perfect timing. He made me aware of a CRO opportunity, which I chose while having two other CRO opportunities on the table to choose from. His assignment was the most compelling one, and he coached me through the process perfectly and efficiently.”
