Structured Methodology

We provide a hands-on executive search and recruitment service handling and project managing the recruitment process for you from start to finish.

Our client managers only ever work with a handful of clients at any one time, which ensures we can concentrate on co-ordinating the whole recruitment process so you can get on with the important business of running your organisation.

As an executive recruitment firm, we generally put the following search process into practice, keeping you informed of our progress and working closely with you and the candidates to ensure we find the best person. Our search methodology is used for every search, whether for executive leadership, SaaS or FinTech.

Manage Process

Our structured methodology is our tried and trusted search-based recruitment method, which allows us to find the right people for your role.

Our research is only ever undertaken within agreed boundaries, and we will adhere to any “hands-off” policies or other restrictions you wish to implement.

Oakstone works hard to understand the culture and story of your company so we can replicate that across all hires. Whether that’s sales, marketing, customer success, or consulting in the UK, Spain, Germany, France or the Netherlands, you only have to come to us with that vision and tell it once, and then we can replicate this over and over again.

All-Round Approach

We prepare you and candidates for interviews, debriefing everyone involved after each stage and ensuring no one is rejected or drops out for the wrong reasons.

During interviews, candidates often make incorrect assumptions about their performance, and we deal with any concerns to ensure a potentially successful recruit does not unintentionally walk away.

Our all-round approach means nothing is left to chance on either side, and our commitment to providing an unparalleled personalised service means we’re always on hand to deal with any issues.
