"I have worked with Oakstone for nearly ten years to identify and deliver key individuals to drive our business forward across Europe. They have always succeeded in providing very high quality candidates in a very timely fashion where others have failed completely or have delivered candidates with a marginal fit. They are highly professional, ultra focussed and continue to provide me with an excellent service."

‘I like the candidates that are put forward. They are exactly what I’m looking for. Oakstone understand the culture of the company, they understand the people that they’re dealing with, they deliver candidates who are more likely to succeed in that environment.

The life of any organisation is the people that it has. Getting a candidate that is right for the position and then fits in with the culture and stays with me for a long period of time – that’s the value that Oakstone brings. They say, they do and they deliver.’

He found me a position that was perfectly matched to my skillset (a nice change from being pushed into applying for a position just because I have a few keywords on my CV). Luke made the whole process run smoothly and managed expectations on both sides. I'd happily use him as my recruiter again.”

“Arran's level of communication, enthusiasm and transparency in the interview process was top-notch. He really is looking out for you, the human being, not just as another number. He wants to make sure there is mutual alignment and puts your needs/asks above else so that you only have to focus on the interview process. Even being located in different time zones to provide updates/feedback didn't stop him (I'm convinced he doesn't sleep!). He is a fantastic relationship-builder, an incredible help and has an immense amount of passion for what he does. Thank you, Arran!”

“5* service, personal touch, a pleasure to work with, hit the mark, listen, hold your hand, encourage. Match the right people to the right roles ... this is only a handful of positive things I can say about Oakstone. I worked with Tom as the recruiter, and as an HR professional, I can say with my hands on my heart that he is the best recruiter I have ever met! From when he left me a voice note to headhunt me to when he called me to tell me I had 'the job' - he really went through the journey with me... I look forward to working with them as a client :-). Paul and his team really have something special here!”
