As a dedicated consultant in Oakleaf’s Specialist Markets division since 2021, I focus on recruiting junior to mid-level permanent and fixed-term contract positions within the Financial and Professional Services sectors. During my time in this role, I’ve developed an extensive network and a deep expertise in my specialist areas of Reward, Benefits & Pensions, HR Systems & Data, Payroll, and Global Mobility.

Before joining Oakleaf, I completed my Business Management degree with high honours and played on a golf scholarship at a Georgia Southwestern State university, where my passion for the sport enabled me to travel extensively and experience a variety of unique places. This blend of athletic and academic discipline has greatly influenced my professional approach, driving my commitment to excellence and a consultative, results-focused mindset in recruitment.

Following the successful placement of a Senior Reward role..

After nearly six months of challenging internal searches, I reached out to Fiona in Oakleaf and ultimately we formally engaged the firm for our current needs.

Nick was appointed as the dedicated Consultant for this search. His expertise and efficiency were immediately evident and quickly grasped the urgency and specifics of our role, providing us with consistently strong candidate profiles within a matter of days.

Thanks to Nick’s and Oakleaf’s broader dedicated efforts and professionalism, we were able to extend a successful offer to an outstanding candidate very swiftly.
