Oakstone International Reviews 126

Five-star experience with Oakstone International! They recently placed me at HiBob and made the entire journey seamless. The team is professional, pleasant, and—most importantly—honest. They provided clear, upfront advice and essential prep material that was instrumental in my interview success. You can tell they work closely together as a team to get the best results for their candidates. Highly recommended!

Working with Arran, Tristan, and the entire team at Oakstone International was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their communication was outstanding, and the level of preparation and insight they provided at every stage truly set them apart. It was clear they have a strong, trusted relationship with their client, which gave me confidence throughout the process.

What stood out most was their professionalism and genuine care. This was not about simply placing a candidate. They were deeply invested in finding the right long term fit for both sides, and it showed in every interaction. Knowing how many successful placements they have made with this client only reinforced that trust.

Arran will absolutely be my go to for referrals moving forward. I cannot recommend Oakstone International highly enough. The entire team deserves real credit for helping me land what I consider a role of a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Tristan for the last few months and I can say without hesitation that he is among the best executive recruiters I have worked with. He is a consummate professional with way he sets expectations, communicates clearly and consistently and follows through on commitments he makes. Highly recommend Tristan.

Got recruited to lead a BDR team. I always give the same advice about recruiters to my reps.

“If you ever meet a good recruiter. Stay with them forever”

Timeline: Burnice Lange pitched me my current org in summer 2025 for a different org. Didnt get through the process.

Tristan came back in the new year for another role.

Both had decent knowledge of the org. Could answer my second and third level questions about the opp. (This is where a lot of other firms can fall down)

Tristan guided me well and gave truthful and blunt feedback throughout the process

I had a great experience being recruited by Burnice and I absolutely recommend her - I would love to work with her again when we need to expand the team. From day 1 our interactions have been clear, she made sure to really listen and understand my goals, set the right expectations and to provide all the answers for any questions or concerns. But on top of that, she’s been a true pleasure to work with. I wish her all the success.

I had a very positive experience working with Oakstone throughout my recent hiring process. From the beginning, the team did a great job keeping me informed and making sure I understood each step of the process. Communication was clear and consistent, which made the entire experience much easier to navigate.

Burnice was especially helpful throughout the process. She stayed in regular contact, shared useful insights about the interviews, and helped me prepare so I felt confident going into each conversation. It never felt transactional. She genuinely wanted to help and was always willing to answer questions or provide guidance when I needed it.

Overall, I felt very well supported by Oakstone, and I really appreciated the professionalism and personal attention they provided. A special thank you to Burnice for being such a great resource and advocate throughout the process.

Arran was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire process. He played a huge role in helping me land my new position. His insight into the company, leadership team, and overall dynamics was incredibly valuable, and he went above and beyond to help me prepare for each conversation with the executive leadership team. Arran took the time to make sure I was fully prepared and confident going into every call. His guidance, responsiveness, and professionalism made a real difference. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I have nothing but great things to say about Arran and my experience with Oakstone. It’s rare to find a recruiter, let alone any professional relationship, where you can say you have built a sincere friendship that will last well beyond professional priorities.

Strong communication, subject matter expertise and attention to detail throughout the process.

I've had an outstanding experience with Sam. He was highly professional during our calls. Very well prepared with all the information that I wanted to get about the possible position. Whenever there was sth., he didn't know, he inquired about the info with the company and proactively came back to me. Sam led me perfectly through the various stages and was always just a text away. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Oakstone. Libby and Steve, who initially connected with me through LinkedIn, were incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. The role they reached out about turned out to be a perfect fit, and I was happy to accept an offer from the employer. A true win-win. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Oakstone team - thank you!

Tristan is the very definition of a Top Tier professional Executive Recruiter. He and the Oakstone team are the Tip of the Spear when it comes to sourcing, vetting and developing executive talent for any organization. 100/100

Tristan was an excellent partner to work with during the recruiting process. There was a strong element of trust and transparency throughout. Everyone I met at Oakstone was very professional. It’s a 5-star operation.

Libby was incredible to work with throughout my job search, she was persistent in throwing opportunities my way. She took the time to understand my background and helped me land an amazing opportunity as a BDR. Her communication was clear, consistent, and supportive every step of the way!

I had an excellent experience with Oakstone. Aaran and Tristan were awesome to work with—quick to respond, clear at every step, and genuinely invested in the outcome. I’d happily recommend them to anyone exploring their next move.

Finally a recruiter that has the candidates and the company’s best interest at heart. Right from the first conversation all the way to the offer stage and beyond, Sam & Tristan were great listeners, professional and made sure that the role was a great fit. I would recommend Oakstone to everyone who is looking for their next role.

From the very first conversation, they listened. They took the time to understand my personal circumstances and experience, and made the role they wanted to talk to me about feel relevant and relatable.

Communication throughout was like speaking with someone I’d known for years. They quickly became a trusted voice — always honest, always responsive.

What stood out most was the support. I was thoroughly prepped for each stage, with persona-specific insights and clear expectations of what success in the role would look like. It felt like more of a partnership than a sales pitch, which is rare in recruitment.

That approach played a huge role in my decision to join Fairmarkit. I genuinely felt understood, and never pushed in a direction that wasn’t right for me.

If you’re considering working with them, my advice is simple: 100% yes.

I had an excellent experience with Andy. Even though I wasn’t actively searching, he took the time to understand my background and introduced me to an opportunity that turned out to be ideal. His communication was clear, his advice was genuine, and he guided me through every step of the process. I’m grateful for his help and happily recommend him to anyone exploring new roles.

Outstanding support from start to finish
I had an incredible experience working with Oakstone. Ben and Steve were with me every step of the way – professional, approachable, and genuinely supportive. They left no stone unturned in preparing me for each stage of the process, and I never once felt pressured or pushed in a direction that didn’t feel right. Instead, I felt fully supported and informed at every turn. I couldn’t have asked for more – thank you both for helping me land such an exciting new role!

Working with Oakstone Recruitment was a genuinely refreshing experience. The entire process was handled with a level of professionalism, transparency, and personal care that made me feel truly valued. Communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt well-prepared at each stage. What really stood out was their human approach as well as speed and efficiency especially as we were navigating several different timezones. Big shoutout to Burnice and Tristan for all of their time and involvement! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trusted recruitment partner.
