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!

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!

Report
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 have found the consultants at Oakleaf Partnership to be extremely professional, responsive and engaged. As a candidate, Ive received a level of service and interaction not matched by most other consultancies. In particular, Katrina Stewart has been sharp, insightful and thorough - ensuring Ive 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 candidates experience of your brand is a positive one. I highly recommend them.

Report
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.
