Arran Campbell

“I had a wonderful experience working with Arran at Oakstone. From our first call, Arran took a very thoughtful and considerate approach. He took the time to understand me as a person, and identify my potential motivations for exploring a new opportunity, as well as understanding my strengths and experience, and how it may be a good fit for the role. Arran did a great job of staying in touch and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend working with him enough! I now consider Arran a good friend who I will continue to keep in touch with.”

S.A. regarding their experience with Management Consultant, Arran Campbell.

“My experience working with Arran and Oakstone was very positive and professional. Arran sourced me as a passive candidate and his information and knowledge of the role, the organization, and the leader he was recruiting for drew me in. I have worked with a few recruiters in the past and Arran was by far the most prepared and informed. He took the time to get to know me and what was important to me. He was looking for a legit match rather than just putting another person in front of his client. Arran guided me through the process and interviews, always following up after each interview plus providing feedback as things progressed. I really felt like I had a partner plus I added a really great human to my network! Overall, great experience and would readily recommend Arran and his team to both candidate and prospective employer.”

K.R. regarding their experience with Managing Consultant, Arran Campbell.

“I have been contacted by Oakstone International several times over the years, but the timing hasn’t been right until this year. Oakstone and Arran Campbell want not only you to truly succeed in the process of finding a new job and challenges but also to get to know you as a person. This isn’t always the case with some other players in the market. They work tight with you as a candidate in keeping you continuously up-to-speed with relevant information about development and how you’re potentially positioned against other candidates. Once, I told Arran that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had Mino Raiola as an agent, and I had Arran. If you’re serious in your search for a new role and job, Oakstone International should definitely be on your radar. If Arran Campbell is your “partner in crime”, you’re in for a ride.”

“I was contacted on LinkedIn by Laura, who caught my attention with a message that was personal and to the point. She put me in touch with Arran, who took things from there. He really understood my current frustrations and aligned the opportunity perfectly. He was thorough and diligent and fought my corner all the way. His persistence was unique, as I have dealt with recruiters who fit the stereotype of going quiet and only caring about the commission. Arran could not be further from that. If all the team at Oakstone are like Arran, I highly recommend them.”

“Arran, You’re an amazing matchmaker. I constantly receive offers by a large number of head hunters who try to match me up with industries that I have no experience in. I honestly think you’re the only one who can really connect the dots between people’s experience and companies who are looking to hire – great job, Arran!”

“Arran Campbell is a strong and extremely valuable asset to the Oakstone family. As my primary contact during a rigorous interview process, he provided the necessary insights, support and guidance at each step and went above and beyond in every regard. His unique strength is an ability to combine astute business acumen, seasoned market experience and his genuinely warm personality to balance competing stakeholder interests to drive deals forward to a close. I will be highly recommending Arran within my networks and look forward to future collaborations with him and the Oakstone team.”

“As a professional interviewing in executive positions, it is critical to find the support of the recruiter at every step of the interviews, including feedback from each person you talk to in the company. Working with Arran Campbell is a privilege, starting with his effort to explain what the position requires and provide every important detail about the company. I cannot thank Arran enough for being so kind, encouraging and supportive. I found the recruitment experience with IFS very professional and highly recommended.”

N.L. regarding their experience with Senior Consultant Arran Campbell.

“From his initial outreach, Arran Campbell was incredibly personable and made me feel as if I was the most important candidate he was working with. His professionalism is above and beyond any of the recruiters I have worked with over the past few years. I’ve also never worked with a recruiter who was as available and generous with their time. Despite the 8-hour time difference between us, he was always accessible to me whether it was to follow up on my interviews, answer any questions I had, or simply encourage me and root me on as I moved through the interviewing process. Trust me when I say…Arran is the one you want in your corner!”

“Dealing with Oakstone has been quite different from other headhunters/recruiters I have interacted with.  

It is quite clear why your firm has been so successful:  you share insights with prospective candidates that only a trusted advisor would have. Obviously, the Oakstone team is highly regarded and viewed as much more than just as a "recruiter" by your clients/employers.”
