The Oakland Partnership Ltd

The Oakland Partnership is a specialist recruitment consultancy based in Leatherhead, Surrey, focusing on the placement of candidates at all levels in a wide range of positions within the leasing, asset finance and financial services marketplace. As the company name implies, they want to work in partnership with clients and candidates, developing close, long-term relationships built on honesty, openness, trust, professionalism and a desire to make the recruitment process as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

The Oakland Partnership believes that when all marketing clichés are stripped away, recruitment at its best is a simple process requiring knowledgeable, well-connected consultants to listen carefully to the needs of both employers and candidates and act professionally on those needs. For candidates, they offer access to leading employers in the industry, honest advice about the market, and guidance on securing desired positions. For employers, they provide understanding of requirements, an accurate and positive image of the business in a competitive market, and consistently introduce only the highest-quality, most suitable candidates.

The firm's whole ethos is built around developing long-term relationships with both clients and candidates. They deliver on promises repeatedly, setting themselves apart from many recruiters who promise more than they deliver. The Oakland Partnership's philosophy centres on making recruitment a positive experience rather than a typical agency transaction.
