Founded in 2005, Oakleaf Partnership is a specialist in HR, Reward, Payroll and Human Capital recruitment partner. Oakleaf is aligned with the values of the professionals they serve and the organisations with whom they partner. Oakleaf is a symbol of courage and their culture is underpinned by having the moral courage to do what is right.
Challenge
Oakleaf’s ambition was growth and finding the right HR recruitment talent was critical to ensure the success of their business strategy. At the time, the recruitment market was buoyant and the Rec2Rec agencies approached had a high client volume and were not able to support Oakleaf’s people growth plan.
Despite GSR2R’s existing volume of requirements, they we confident that they would secure the HR recruiters required by Oakleaf, to achieve long-term success. This introduction was the start of a successful partnership that has spanned a decade.
Sourcing experienced HR recruiters is notoriously difficult. Successful HR recruiters are motivated by providing a consultative service, building lasting relationships that often result in friendships and being on call to support their clients’ challenges, that goes beyond traditional recruiting.
Recruiting these valued professionals requires dedication and commitment, a clear understanding of what makes them tick and the extensive network to know where to find them. Cheryl’s passion to the task was clear from the outset and she got to work quickly to uncover the talent that continues supports Oakleaf thrive today.

Outcomes
“What made the outcome so successful was Cheryl. She’s incredibly thoughtful. She has a wonderful ability to understand culture, fit and style and what drives the people she represents. She then matches them with organisations who are looking for similar qualities”, says Oakleaf MD, Simon Hunt.
The professionals Cheryl placed accounts for 25% of Oakleaf’s workforce today and ranges from experienced senior consultants to members of Oakleaf’s senior management team. The average tenure of these placements is 3 – 4 years, with 30% of hires made progressing to senior management level, during their time with Oakleaf.
Cheryl is proactive and her activity allows Oakleaf to fill gaps in the business, quickly diminishing the lost revenue of not having someone in a seat.
“Cheryl’s service to people is phenomenal. She is one of the least self-centred people I have ever met and cares more about the outcomes of other people than her own. Her success is the by-product of people’s happiness”.
