Sales Executive Testimonial

“From start to finish, very professional. Always happy to talk things through and give you some real advice that will no doubt benefit your career move. They have a very diplomatic and fair approach to client and candidate, will advise both yourself and the client to make the transition from current employer amicable. Nice to know there are decent recruitment agencies out there, and not just to make a quick buck out of you. Should the situation arise again, I will in doubt use their services from both sides of the fence.”

“Steve – Thank you for approaching me, for explaining the opportunity so clearly, for correcting my misunderstandings and misconceptions and for helping to change me from “I don’t really understand the significance of this” to “Wow I want to learn more”. Then Andy (Hiring Manager) and the team did the rest to make me become “I really want this challenge”.

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!

Head of Inside Sales | Candidate Testimonial

“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, I had a great experience and would readily recommend Arran and his team to both candidate and prospective employer.”

“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 | Candidate 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.”

“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.”
