Oakleaf Partnership Review

Great agency to work with! I was placed into a role within a month of registering with them. They keep you updated throughout the process and create a great candidate experience. I would definitely recommend!

I have a great experience with people who work for Oakleaf recruitment, very professional and informative. As a job seeker I received high level of professional advice and career evaluation. Highly, recommended to both employers and job seekers. Thank you Jack and Linda - you made mine job search enjoyable.

Linda Giacomantonio has been instrumental in sourcing the right role to match my profile. A true professional!

I can appreciate that the job of a recruiter is extremely busy and they probably don't have a lot of time on their hands to spare for candidates who might not be suitable to the roles they are currently recruiting for. However, I find it unacceptable that they do not return calls or emails within an appropriate time frame. I have had to chase and follow up. I know your service is free to candidates, however, looking for a job isn't the easiest task in the world. So if you are not able to help someone let them know sooner rather than later because they could be keeping all their hopes high on the return of your call or email. I am hugely disappointed with the service that you offer and I won't be using you in the future. For anyone looking for payroll jobs they won't help you unless you have the perfect CV. They won't even return your calls or emails unless you chase and follow up. I would highly recommend going to Portfolio Payroll or Hays where the consultants actually care about providing a service.

It was a pleasure to work with Linda who was very friendly and attentive and making sure that the position is right fit for the candidate as well as for the client. Highly recommend to use Oakleaf Partnership.

I would highly recommend Oakleaf Partnership. As a candidate, I ve received a level of service not matched by any other recruitment companies. The consultants have been very responsive and made me feel really looked after. Jack Burns and Lina Giacomantonio ensured I was updated through the whole process

Highly recommend Kiri and Rebecca from experience as both a candidate and a client!

I have found the consultants at Oakleaf Partnership to be extremely professional, responsive and engaged. As a candidate, I ve received a level of service and interaction not matched by most other consultancies. In particular, Katrina Stewart has been sharp, insightful and thorough - ensuring I ve been updated throughout the process and had constructive feedback, irrespective of outcome. From a client's perspective, Oakleaf Partnership truly do represent your Company and ensure that the candidate s experience of your brand is a positive one. I highly recommend them.

I was placed in to my current role by Rian at the Longbridge office and I can t rate the service highly enough. Throughout the process I felt like I was talking to a friend and really made to feel at ease which is rarely the case with employment agencies. I would definitely recommend Oakleaf.

I have known Lucy Bills for a couple of years now - what impresses me about her is the time she takes to understand what someone is looking for in a new role, her invaluable understanding of the market for senior Reward roles, and the engagement throughout the process. Thanks and keep doing the awesome job you do!

Overall, a credible and trusted HR Reward and Analytics partnership to help a candidate to match a specific business need.

Great staff, Very helpful, always ready to help, particularly Jack Burns.

I've have contacted this company twice now and they haven't been particularly great on both occasions. On the first occasion they just ignored my email and call. On the second occasion I spoke to three separate consultants and all they suggested was a role with a 2 hour commute paying less than my current salary. I ended up securing interviews at some of the biggest media & tech firms in the world so I'm not a bad candidate. I wouldn't really recommend based on my personal experience.

I can t recommend Oakleaf Partnership enough, especially Linda Giacomantonio. I understand how busy they must be with other candidates and talking to hiring managers etc. but Linda ALWAYS kept me in the loop, with phone calls, texts, emails etc. and she was always going the extra mile which finally resulting in me securing a role. Their service and attitude was exceptional and would highly recommended them to both colleagues and businesses

Just had a call from a girl in the office, couldnt believe her attitude from the off. First thing she says to me is, i cant tell you the name of the company. Hadnt even asked love. Im an experienced recruiter and had plenty of questions to ask. My first being about average hire rate within the company. Immediately standoffish attitude toward that (she didnt know the answer) asked me to justify my question which i did as salary was in question and was then told that with that attitude i wouldnt be the right culture fit. Customer service rating absolute 0. I'd give no stars if i could.

I found the team at Oakleaf to be very professional and helpful in my job search when first coming to London. They were proactive and friendly, especially the consultant I dealt with most - Alice Hamp.

Jack was extremely helpful and not your typical 'pushy' recruiter. We discussed everything I was looking for in person and he then only contacted me with roles that would actually be of interest. The process was smooth and easy whilst also allowing me to ask any questions as required. Thanks, Jack!

Sadly another 1 star review. I moved to the UK and applied for a number of jobs via Oakleaf in the summer and not one response to many of my emails and phone calls. A number of my peers in my network have had the same experience where they simply do not respond. The consultants are in the fortunate position of having an income and do not appreciate how frustrating it is to chase. There are more professional businesses that are far more courteous even if your face doesn't fit.

It has been an absolute joy working with Jodie Wolrich who has helped me finding my dream role. She took the time to meet me and listen to what I was looking for and had an excellent match. Thanks to having all the details I needed I was able to prepare for the interviews and I'm looking forward to starting my new role in the New Year! THANK YOU JODIE!

I have worked with Oakleaf Partnership on many occasions, and have never failed to be impressed with how thorough and attentive they are to their customers. On more than one occasion, I have had the pleasure of working with Theo Karageorgis. It's always lovely to work with her, as she is very approachable, understanding and helpful at all stages of the job application process. She has pushed me to be open to different types of roles, and as a result I have been successful in obtaining a new position. Theo has always been readily available for any questions, and always ensured that everything was in place before going on any annual leave. She was very helpful to me at the application stage, in assisting me with preparation for my interviews and reviewing my written piece. If I am ever in the position of looking for a new role, I look forward to working with Theo and Oakleaf Partnership again.

Unable to fault Teresa and Linda s professionalism and work ethic. Appreciate both of their efforts and will most certainly use their efforts for myself and for business.

Thank you again for all of your hard work.

Oakleaf partnership have always been so helpful and supportive with helping find the job that would suit me. Theo Karageorgis Has been fantastic throughout my experience with oakleaf and I would defo I rely recommend her to others! Thank you for all the help so far and I look forward to working with Theo again in the future.

I've been working with Oakleaf's payroll division for a number of years and I have always found the Payroll recruitment team to be very professional and communicative. I would highly recommend this agency to both employers and job seekers. A huge Thank you to John and Linda, it's been a pleasure working with you both and it definitely won't be the last!

The company contacted me and put me forward for a few vacancies but didn't even provide interview feedback, a poor recruitment service.

They would probably be a good recruitment firm if they ever returned calls or acknowledged candidates. Alice Hamp in particular!

Would give 0 stars if I could. One specific consultant hasn't returned one call or responded to my emails. Have applied for an Internal Recruitment application. Would rather be told my profile isn't suitable than be ignored. Helps both parties.
I don't believe these are live roles!

Having Theo to support and guide me through every interview stage has been extremely useful. She provides in depth knowledge of the firms she pitches. Would highly recommend Theo for anyone seeking employment within the legal sector.

Fantastic experience of working alongside Liz and her colleagues at Oakleaf. Liz was extremely personable and proactive in her approach. She went above and beyond my expectations - I could not recommend more highly.

No responses to applications submitted ever. Not helpful

Oakleaf Partnership offer a professional service to both clients and candidates. They go the extra mile to understand their client s requirements and then carefully match quality candidates to each role that they have. In my experience, they also take time to provide constructive feedback relating to the interview process regardless of the outcome. Would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience with this company. They actually listened to what I wanted in a position. Met me face to face and subsequently placed me.

Thank you so much Oakleaf!

A fantastic HR recruitment firm who genuinely care!

Oakleaf were fantastic. Alice Hamp was in regular contact with me even if it was just to let me know she didn't have an update.

I am now in a job that I love so I would highly recommend Oakleaf.

Great staff, great company. Very helpful and polite.

I have worked with Oakleaf now for a number of years as a client, as a permanent candidate and more recently as an interim. What I appreciate the most is the consistency of service across all desks. Whoever you work with shows strong market knowledge, a great understanding of your needs either as a client or a candidate and fantastic client service. Katrina Stewart in particular is an outstanding consultant and spends a great deal of time investing and maintaining relationships with her clients and candidates. Oakleaf are always more than happy to share their knowledge and information.
