I founded Oakleaf in 2005 with a vision to create a business that not only reflected my own values but was totally aligned with those of the professions we serve and partner with. I firmly believe we have achieved that aim and are, today, the most successful and high-growth business in the markets we operate in.
Oakleaf Partnerships placed #45 in the Sunday Times Best Small Company in the UK and 15th in the top 75 Best Small Companies to Work For in London. Oakleaf were shortlisted for Best Professional Services Recruitment Agency at the Recruiter Awards. Each year we ask the whole company to share with us the top 5 words that they feel best describe the culture at Oakleaf.
For centuries the oak leaf has symbolised strength, endurance and courage. These are the same qualities we look for in our people. If you share them, there could be a prosperous future for you here - and not simply from a financial point of view, but from a personal and professional one too.

If you are eager to join the largest and fastest growing independent HR recruitment company in the UK, please send your CV to workforus@oakleafpartnership.com.Principal - HR - an exciting opportunity to join our specialist executive search division, working on high profile and exclusive retained search and executive level contingent HR roles.
Our 2012 Research report 'Raising the bar in HR Recruitment' showed that there was a clear need to enhance new employee's success rates post appointment - especially in the first 100 days. Ever the innovators, we have since established the highly successful Oakleaf Partnership Mentor Scheme. The scheme is available to candidates we have placed into permanent or fixed term contract roles (6 months or longer), regardless of sector.
The Oakleaf Academy was set up in 2015 to support rising HR talent progress as they set out on their career. The idea is to bring together talented HR professionals with senior HR leaders in a social setting, allowing them to impart their wisdom and career advice.

It's a unique and invaluable opportunity for our candidates to ask questions and expand their personal network of like-minded, ambitious HR professionals and share knowledge, learning and best practice across industry.Our aim is to nurture and support talent in the HR community, with each session having a key development theme led by a senior HR professional who will talk through their career journey and how they overcame obstacles.

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!

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Not a recruitment company that I would want anything to do with again. Called me about a job in my area, never ended up sending job spec over and I had to look for it myself on Reed. Call back the following week and I was told by him that I would receive a call from him late afternoon. Guess what, he never replied. Waste of space, arogant and rude individual. Wasted my time.

Experienced consultants with an excellent, and importantly, a realistic overview and understanding of the market. I hadn't used an HR agency before so didn't know what to expect but found them really approachable and knowledgable. Would recommend.

Oakleaf Partnership consultants are eager to help at a very high standard. Their knowledge of the market and HR itself is second to none. They have now found me my last 3 roles and I actually couldn't recommend them highly enough.
