“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, We will definitely do business together in the future if I have my way.”

Data Protection Officer Testimonial

“Only upon reflecting on my experience to write this review has it truly dawned on me that Oakstone is a recruitment company. That is a testament to a number of things

1) The partnership approach

2) Them (specifically Burnice) having my best interest at heart vs. forcing a fit for commission purposes

3) For this particular role, Burnice demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the Employer, the personality of the hiring managers and their reporting lines all the way up to the CEO, the company focus, direction, priorities and culture; most importantly, she was clear on the type of attitude, the philosophical and practical approach the application of the ideal candidate’s skill set and personality that would provide the best-fit outcome for candidate and employer.

4) Her conviction and belief in the fit between myself and the now soon-to-be new employer was inspiring, and even more so when I experienced why she had such a belief in the fit myself (as the interview stages progressed). It definitely NEVER felt like pressure or a selfish belief she had that didn’t have a strong basis in understanding...etc

5) She also basically provided everything I needed - presenting all of it like a project pack/portfolio containing all I needed to know about the company and the individuals involved in the process - that was impressive as it made my research starting point a lot easier

6) Lastly, Burnice and I could have very candid and robust conversations to get on the same page about any concerns, queries, approaches to negotiations, realistic outcomes...etc. Not once did I experience that guilt or pressure when I knew you have to tell the recruiter that the role wasn't right, but they cannot see it because they are under pressure to hit targets and fill a role, and you happen to be the only decent fish they have found in their net! LOL!

They even offered to send me a card - for landing me my ideal and the best offer of my career-seeking campaign!!!! Fantastic experience. I hope I will not have to use Oakstone again anytime soon - but if I do, then I will be happy to.”

Regional Partner Manager Testimonial

If I was looking for a recruiter or a recruitment company to help my company hire, I would look no further than Oakstone. Burnice, I know you keep saying that the candidates do the hard work but I really appreciate your ability to match candidates with suitable roles and would not have my new job without you. Thanks”

“I’ve been working with Oakstone for a few decades now in a number of different roles, and I choose to work with them due to the fantastic candidate experience that they provide and how much effort they put into understanding the company and the role, and fitting the right candidates to those roles.

I think it’s important in business to work with people you like, and I always find it really easy to speak to all of the team at Oakstone.

I think it’s Oakstone’s focus on the business and making sure there is the right cultural fit between the candidates and the roles and that makes Oakstone stand out.”

Strategic Accounts Director Testimonial

“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 a consultant at Oakstone, who caught my attention with a message that was personal and to the point. They 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.”

Strategic Sales Director Testimonial

“Working with Tristan has been a pleasure. He has demonstrated balanced and insightful perspectives on the opportunities being considered, and his care and consideration in supporting any preparatory work were particularly appreciated. It is clear the team has strong relationships with its clients, translating to the most reliable and trusted advice, which clearly does not come from a place of bias or self-serving interests. Seeking a new challenge is a significant step, and in a crowded marketplace where superficiality and a lack of personal touch is prevalent, it is reassuring to work with people that are objective and considerate instead.”

A.S. regarding their experience with Divisional Director Tristan Heywood. The candidate joined Seismic as Strategic Sales Director in the UK.

Oakstone International 20/05/2022 Oakstone International 20/05/2022

“I was first contacted by Ben for an interesting opportunity and, shortly after, a second time by Tristan for another client. Turned out the first opportunity did not work because the client had decided so, but thanks to the excellent advice I received from Tristan, I managed to sign with my new employer. Oakstone really makes a difference when it comes to keeping you posted on the job opportunity, either positively OR not, and helping you close your own deal.”
