S.D. regarding their experience with Divisional Director, Dan Hammond Smith. The candidate was placed at Nuvo Prime.

“Oakstone helped me secure an excellent role with a leading global technology and financial services firm. From the first contact, I was taken aback by the attention taken by their people (1 hour + spent understanding my motivations and requirements). It really did feel like a headhunting process rather than simply shoved into an empty seat. Communication was prompt and relevant throughout, such that I was never left waiting unduly. Getting the job was the cherry on top! Thank you, Oakstone (and Dan H. and Harry W. in particular). We will definitely do business together in the future if I have my way.”
