What our clients say
We measure our work by the relationships it builds. Here is what the people we partner with, clients and candidates alike, say about working with us.
Candidates
I have known Alice since early in her Oakleaf days. She has always stood out as someone I can trust and whose opinion is welcome and regarded. I've been looking for a new role on and off for around 12 months, Alice always keeps me in mind when opportunities arise and unlike many people I have met in the Talent Acquisition space has always remained in touch even if a role she…

Thomas is a highly professional recruitment specialist. He managed the process with openness and clarity that gave confidence and always made time to feedback and ensure that I knew what was going on and the cause of any delays. This made the experience a positive one. His depth of relationship and understanding of his clients showed through and he used this to help create a…

Beth is a personable individual with a really professional approach. She helped me to find my ideal role within a short time period and was excellent at keeping me informed throughout the process. Not only that she managed to secure me an interview the same day with a turn around of less than a week! I would definitely recommend Beth and Oakleaf as a recruiter and will…

I have been contracting for 10 years now and so I've dealt with many agencies and recruiters, all of which have their own styles and approaches. In the past decade, there have been a few stand out, one off recruiters that have been so fabulous that they always come to mind when I think of opportunities and see a potential in a company for a new hire. Louise, without a doubt…

Professionalism, integrity, honest communication, focused job matches, some of the qualities that mark out a recruitment consultant from others. Stacey has these in abundance. Add a friendly, approachable manner and you have someone who is a credit to Oakleaf, the industry and herself.

What can I say other than what a true professional, with an amazing personality and the drive to assist you in securing your next role that is right for you. I couldn't recommend Stacey highly enough, thanks again for all you did for me and always going the extra mile, you're a star.

Executive Search
I have known Thomas at Oakleaf for a number of years and what distinguishes him is that he operates as a trusted advisor rather than a supplier of CVs. He takes the time to understand not just the role, but the organisation around it: its stage, its pressures, its culture, and what the appointment actually needs to achieve. That means the conversation with him starts earlier…
