Professional and thorough
Top marks for Iona Gadsby who provided a professional service from start to finish. I received prompt updates and clear feedback throughout the whole process - a level of consistency and professionalism that made for a refreshing change from the mixed experiences I’ve had elsewhere.
Trustworthy agency and professional recruiter
When Amy first reached out for the Cloud engineer role, I wasn't particularly interested, but she kept at it over the months and I'm glad she did. Eventually the opportunity came up around the time I was ready to move on, and I like the team and am enjoying the role. She was also a great help during onboarding, which can be a bit of a minefield, but she was always prompt and helpful, which made the process hassle free.
Amy was very nice and helpful
Amy was very nice and helpful, making sure to answer everything and explain what she knew.
She was available on WhatsApp all the time and if I had questions it was easy for me to reach her and get an answer or at least know that she would bring an answer when she knew.

Highly recommend working with Louis M
I had a really positive experience working with Louis M. Communication was always clear and straightforward, and he kept me updated at every stage without me having to chase. What I really appreciated was that he didn’t just send me multiple roles — he put me forward for one senior SOC position that genuinely matched my experience and what I was looking for, which showed he’d actually taken the time to understand my background. He also shared helpful insight before interviews so I felt prepared going in. Overall, the process felt smooth and well managed, and I’d happily recommend working with him.
Logan is a star
Logan was a great help with my latest career move. Thanks for your help mate.
Louis from Oscar has been brilliant
Louis from Oscar has been brilliant, he has been professional throughout the recruitment process and always kept me up to date with what was happening. He was always always available on the phone and offered support to help with the interview process. Even after accepting the role he has remained in contact to make sure the onboarding process was going well and if I needed anything else. He has gone above and beyond expectations! He really is a great person to deal with and the only rating I could give is 5*
Smooth and enjoyable recuirtmemt experience
Had Ellis as my recuirter and he was very professional and passionate with supporting me in getting a role as a Junior Data Engineer/Analyst. Furthermore, he would always make time to update me via text messages or phone calls with any updates to my application even outside of 9-5.
Would highly reccomend Ellis and Oscar recuirtmemt as a whole.
Helpful recruiter!
Ellis is a sound guy, friendly, and regularly checked in to ask me my thoughts during the recruitment process
Anisa Zaraj supported me extremely well…
Anisa Zaraj supported me extremely well throughout the process. Her approach was very personal and genuinely involved; she really took the time to understand my situation and think along with me. Communication was excellent and switching quickly was never an issue. Thanks to her, the entire process felt smooth, professional, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Anisa.
Good communication from agent
Oscar's Commendation as a Recruiting Agency
This recruiting experience was exceptional.
Anisa Zaraj from Oscar was very accomodating, she showed kindness and attentiveness, she made me feel comfortable and at ease for the entire recruiting process and during the contract to this day.
It shows that Oscar takes the care of their talents very seriously.
I truely recommend this recruiting agency, let us reward those who are doing right by us in this industry.
Anisa Zaraj @Oscar - Superstar recruitment consultant - honestly!
Anisa (who initially contacted me and saw me through the hiring process) - has been a revelation as a professional recruitment consultant.
From the very first (speculative) communication and discussion - she has been insightful, knowledgeable, thorough and wonderfully supportive.
She constantly went and continuously goes over and beyond in providing transparent and positive recruitment services - from initial submission, interview prep/feedback and onboarding check-ins with ongoing progress follow-ups.
She's a *Superstar* recruiter - and I do not say that lightly - as she is a shining example of her profession and a clear credit to Oscar.
This is the first time I have ever written an online review for a professional engagement in three decades - so apart from the sincere thanks for the initial consideration enabling me to achieve my current (dream) role - there's a lot to be said for the 'human-touch' (sincerity and sterling service) Anisa selflessly provides.
A truly amazing individual - remember the name! :)
Elliot was very helpful in assisting me…
Elliot was very helpful in assisting me with gaining my new opportunity as a software developer. He kept me informed before and after interviews (it was a 2-stage interview process) and provided me with plenty of detail about the job position before applying. This hasn't always been my experience when dealing with other agencies.
Overall, he was very supportive and informative, and I would happily recommend him to anyone else who is looking for another job opportunity.
Bronwyn is a Recruiter Who Delivers
Bronwyn was fantastic to work with throughout the recruitment process. She was highly organised, incredibly helpful, and always friendly and approachable. Bronwyn kept me well informed at every stage of the interview process and made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. I really appreciated her professionalism and support, and I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter to help me secure the role. Highly recommended.
Great working with Bronwyn Parker
Great working with Bronwyn Parker, she made the whole process seamles.
Lizzy Harper Review - 5 Star
It’s a genuine pleasure to recommend Lizzy Harper. Since the end of September, I have worked with Lizzy while pursuing an opportunity, and her support has made all the difference.
Throughout our interactions, Lizzy has been exceptionally quick to respond and provided clear, concise messaging every step of the way. Her ability to streamline the application process ensured everything ran smoothly and efficiently, always making sure my questions were addressed promptly.
What truly stands out is Lizzy’s personable approach—she adds a thoughtful, human touch to every conversation, helping candidates feel valued and at ease. Lizzy is an excellent communicator, balancing professionalism with warmth, making her a fantastic intermediary between candidates and organizations.
I would happily recommend Lizzy to anyone looking for a recruiter who brings both organizational skill and genuine care to her work.
Working with Amy has been an absolute…
Working with Amy has been an absolute pleasure. What really stands out about her is how genuinely compassionate and people-focused she is. In an industry where candidates often feel like just another number, Amy takes the time to truly connect, listen, and understand your goals, both professionally and personally.
She approaches recruiting with empathy and authenticity—making you feel valued and supported every step of the way. Amy doesn’t just fill roles; she builds relationships. Her thoughtful communication, transparency, and encouragement make the entire process smooth and positive.
If you ever have the chance to work with Amy, you’ll immediately notice the difference—she truly cares about helping people find the right opportunity, not just any opportunity.
Amazing recruitment process
I've had an amazing experience with Iona Gadsby - super helpful. She would answer any questions I had and made the interview preparations much easier to deal with. Thanks a lot again!
