Testimonials

  • “Marti has played a hugely influential role in helping us to create and develop a team of highly skilled and dedicated professional trainers. In particular, she has gone out of her way to gain a deep understanding of our business and our requirement to recruit people who are not just committed to our values, but who live them in their work. Marti understands that we value personality, attitude and teamwork as highly as knowledge and technical skills. As such, she has consistently presented us with a pool of top-calibre candidates who exactly match our requirements, and choosing a successful recruit has always been a difficult process. Largely as a result of Marti’s support, we have been able to rapidly build a team of high-performing trainers, and in the last 18 months since our business was established, not a single team member has left. Marti is resourceful, enterprising and extremely supportive. Her help and advice has been invaluable and we cannot recommend her highly enough for this award.”

    Ann
    Operations Director

  • “Jamie was in constant contact throughout my application and interview process, and was quick to support, guide and just have a chat, something that many recruitment consultants clearly do not see the value in. Recruitment can be like the wild west but I had full trust in Jamie and will be keeping his details as a valued contact for the future.”

    Quote

    Ben
    Candidate

  • “I would happily recommend Jamie. We initially began working with Jamie and Oakmoor Recruitment around 18months ago, on two longstanding recruitment campaigns that our existing recruitment suppliers had struggled with. We had been unable to find the right candidate for either vacancy due to a combination of niche training sectors and the location of the role. Jamie managed to identify suitable candidates for both vacancies really quickly and within 3 weeks we had successfully filled both roles. We have worked with Jamie ever since and now work with Oakmoor on an exclusive basis. Jamie obviously knows the sector really well and continues to provide us with an excellent service as and when we outsource any of our vacancies.”

    Briony
    HR Business Partner

  • “Jamie has been able to source candidates for us that were previously unobtainable with our current recruitment PSL. We do tend to get the same CV’s from agencies but Jamie has managed to consistently identify unique candidates. In a short space of time, Jamie provided short lists for multiple locations and is proving to be a valuable contact in identifying great calibre trainer/assessors. I would recommend Jamie.”

    Chris
    Operations Director

  • “Whenever a vacancy arises, we know it is going to be a challenge to fill because we have very unique requirements… Marti consistently works with integrity as an absolute professional through her honesty, willingness to truly listen, ask the right questions, offer her experience, challenge our assumptions resulting in forwarding candidates who are the right match for what we are seeking, which is reflected in the successful campaigns she has run on our behalf. Marti is our first choice every time and set an example every recruitment consultant should follow and many could learn from the standards she sets!”

    Quote

    Dawn
    HR Manager

  • “I applied for a job online through the web, to which I received an extremely speedy and friendly response from Marti. …She instantly put me at ease with her outgoing, friendly and supportive personality, maintaining an air of courtesy and professionalism throughout our call… I feel that this is more of a vocation for her than a job; Marti appears to thrive on the connection with people and the supporting of them to achieve new career goals. Marti is an exceptional person and suits her job role brilliantly.”

    Emma
    Candidate

  • "Jamie has a clear understanding of what we look for in a candidate and who will fit with our existing team and culture. Candidates are always comprehensively briefed about both the role and organisation, and this helps our interview process run much more smoothly when compared to other recruitment partners we have engaged with. We continue to partner with Jamie because he understands our business and is able to continually identify the right people supporting our growth.”

    Quote

    Kiely
    Director of Operations

  • “Marti was the key contact for me in a recruitment drive which took us across several counties in England. Marti took on this task diligently and expeditiously, with outstanding results. Over a period of approximately 6 weeks, Marti planned, organised and facilitated 8 hires which resulted in us filling all vacant posts in the timeframe required. The net result being that we were able to deliver our promise to the learners, their employers and the funding agencies.”

    Quote

    Steve
    Managing Director

  • "Compared with other recruitment suppliers we have worked with in the past, Jamie compares favourably in a number of areas. He is able to source hard to find candidates, and quickly, and also offers a competitive, exclusivity rate that has worked out positively for us. He understands what we look for in our assessors and what will fit within our existing team dynamics, which results in a more streamlined recruitment process. We will continue to work with Jamie for these reasons, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services.”
