Enterprise Account Executive | Candidate Testimonial

“Steve was excellent throughout my job search. He properly understood my background before putting me forward for roles, so everything felt relevant rather than a volume play. Proactive, good market insight, and straightforward at every stage. Would recommend to anyone in enterprise tech sales - a different level of recruitment experience.”

Head of Customer Success | Candidate Testimonial

“I worked with Steve Farr at Oakstone during my recent search for a new Head of Customer Success / VP CS role, and he made the whole process feel a lot less painful than it usually is. What stood out was how genuinely he listened — not just to the job spec I was after, but to what actually mattered to me at this stage of my career. He kept communication honest and regular, even when there wasn't much new to report, which I appreciated far more than empty reassurance. He was straightforward about where things stood with each opportunity, good and bad, and never oversold a role just to keep me engaged. When it came to the process itself, Steve was sharp on prep — helping me think through how to position 20 years of B2B SaaS experience clearly and confidently, rather than just forwarding CVs and hoping for the best. That care paid off: I landed a Head of CS role that's a genuinely good fit. If you're on the market and want a recruiter who treats you like a person rather than a placement fee, I'd recommend Steve and the team at Oakstone without hesitation.”
