Lisa Kelly, Consultant
After graduating in English from the University of Leeds, I joined a global recruitment business. Having spent three years recruiting support staff, I wanted to specialise and joined Oakleaf in May 2008, drawn to its fresh approach and personal feel. Following an internal restructure, I now focus mainly on the Professional Services and Financial Services sectors recruiting both permanent and interim appointments at all salary levels across the north of England.
Whilst I enjoy being active and spend as much time as possible out running, my real passion is for cooking and I love nothing more than cooking a big meal for friends and family shared over a bottle (or two!) of wine.

Testimonials for Lisa
- Mike Rustill, Organisational Development Manager Wescot Learning & DevelopmentThe team at Oakleaf Recruitment in Leeds offer a uniquely bespoke and personal package for any professional looking to find alternative employment for any reason. They provide the tools and networks you would expect from a professional organisation, however, they genuinely make you feel as though they are focused on you and you only! I have used Oakleaf for my own personal needs and as a provider for growing the teams I have been responsible for.
- Sarah Hibbert – EC HarrisMy recruitment consultant (Lisa Kelly) was excellent and I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Lisa contacted me as she thought I would be a good match for the role; unlike some other recruitment consultants in different companies, she took the time to describe what the role would actually entail and was keen to help me gain a realistic understanding of it. She called before the interview to help me prepare for the types of questions my interviewer would ask. She called shortly after the interview to find out how it had gone, and called back to offer me the job shortly after. I really appreciate her efforts and she seemed to genuinely care about helping me find a role that I would be happy in. I have really enjoyed my first two weeks in my new job and have been impressed by how Lisa has maintained contact (a good luck card for my first day, a call to see how my first week has been). Although looking for a new job is not easy, a good recruitment consultant can make all the difference.
