Karen recently recruited me to a role and the service from Oyster was exceptional. She was very approachable, kept me suitably updated and informed on progress and was professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen (and Oyster) .

The most professional recruiters I’ve experienced. Caz managed every step of the process. Excellent communication, extremely affable and manages feedback. She goes above and beyond to represent you. Karen stepped in during Caz’s absence and has been extremely reliable. I can’t rate them highly enough.
