Our Fan Mail
Emma was very helpful and kept me up to date with everything during the whole process. She was quick to respond to any messages and calls and made sure all information was shared as was needed. I would highly recommend Emma and Oyster recruitment.

I cannot recommend Oyster Recruitment Agency highly enough, particularly due to my exceptional experience with Amy, who reached out to me regarding a job opportunity that has culminated in my upcoming employment in January. Amy’s support extended well beyond simply identifying a suitable position. She prepared me for the interview process by providing valuable insights and potential questions I might encounter. In an industry where finding the right fit can be daunting, Amy’s personalised approach made all the difference. Her commitment to supporting me throughout the process is amazing and greatly appreciated. Thanks to Amy’s effort I am excited to embark on this new chapter of my career. I extend my gratitude to her and the Oyster Recruitment Agency for their outstanding service.

I had a fantastic experience working with Lauren . Their professionalism and dedication were evident from our very first conversation. They took the time to understand my background, career goals, and what I was truly looking for in my next role. What really stood out was their exceptional interview coaching. Lauren provided practical advice, thoughtful feedback, and helpful insights that gave me the confidence to perform my best during the interviews. Their guidance not only helped me secure a great position but also improved my overall approach to interviews. Throughout the process, communication was prompt, transparent, and supportive. I always felt well-informed and encouraged. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring recruiter who goes above and beyond for their candidates.

Kaylee was my recruiter she was efficient and professional I would highly recommend.
Kaylee made everything stress free and was extremely helpful when I had questions.
Can’t recommend enough you can tell that she is very dedicated to making the recruiting process seamless.
Desmond Calder
From the moment I reached out to Karen about a role I was interested in, she has been amazing. Encouraging, supportive and gave some fantastic hints and tips for me to do (and not do!) at the interview. Her help in getting me seen by the company has been invaluable – I suspect my application would have been lost amongst the hundreds of others had I applied via a job board – she reviewed my CV and spent the time on the phone getting to know me to make sure I’d be a perfect fit. From that initial email reaching out to her, I was interviewed and secured a job offer within 7 working days!! In today’s job market that’s nothing short of miracle work. Reach out to her if you’re frustrated with your job hunt because she’ll offer the best support you’ll get anywhere! 10 stars 🙂

Joshua Hayward
Thank you so much Lauren Harris. The commitment Lauren has shown to help me secure a new role was exceptional. Anytime I had questions Lauren was available to assist me. The whole process was completely stress free, I was given insight on all aspects of my new role and everything that I was told about the role was exactly as explained. This is something I have never come across before. I will definitely send anyone looking for a new position her way.
