I worked with Harriet in a job-hunting capacity during a very difficult time in the market and was very grateful for her knowledge, network, advice, expertise and patience! She is a smart, talented and thoughtful senior recruiter and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her personally (or Oakleaf as a consultancy) to any senior HR contacts.
