Glowing Reviews From Happy Clients!
Frankie really is a skilled leader and coach in the field of recruitment. He found my weak CV and got me an interview after phoning me twice and having a lengthy conversation with me about who I was and what I wanted.
He went away and matched me to a job. I left the property sales market to go into a more rewarding career as a carer and Frankie promised he would find me something suitable, which indeed he did.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Oakgar Recruitment/Frankie as he keeps his promises but is also a genuine human being who recognizes potential in a candidate, gives them the necessary tools for an interview, and encourages them to go for it, hand holding all the way. Very impressed.
100% recommendable.
After searching and applying to many jobs with little success I tried this company for help and it didn’t disappoint.
Frankie was amazing, gave me so much help and guidance and now have got a job offer which I have accepted.
Thank you for everything!!
Thank you Frankie. I have just secured employment through Oakgar recruitment.
Frankie was really good at keeping me in touch with how things were progressing through to coaching for the interview.
He also in my opinion went above and beyond when i had technical difficulties with the interview.
Please accept my thanks and i would have no hesitation in recommending Oakgar recruitment to anyone.
Very friendly and professional experience with helping me find a job - Frankie is very comprehensive with how he helped me go through the interview process, and gave me lots of very good advice to keep in mind throughout my time with him.
I'd highly recommend OakGar and Frankie to anyone else looking for a job, as you can learn a lot on how to improve yourself when looking for job opportunities with them!
I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from Sandra Oakley throughout my recruitment process. Her professionalism, dedication, and guidance were truly invaluable in helping me navigate each stage with confidence. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was in place for my smooth start with the company.
Sandra’s support didn’t just make the process easier—it made a real difference. I recently received my Contract of Employment, and I couldn’t have reached this point without her consistent assistance.
Thank you, Sandra, for all your help. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done and look forward to staying in touch!

OakGar joined our PSL 7 months ago and handles the majority of our recruitment.

After being let down by several other agencies, I was a bit cautious when I received a call from OakGar. They explained how they were different, so we decided to give them a chance. Safe to say, if it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have worked with another agency again—nor would we be in the position we’re in now, with a fully staffed team.

We had never used a recruitment agency before and were unsure of what to expect, but OakGar completely changed our perception. From the very beginning, they gave us confidence with their professionalism and followed through on every promise. The level of support and communication was outstanding, and the candidates they provided were an excellent fit for our team. We won’t look anywhere else. OakGar is our go-to from now on.

We are working with Frankie over the past two years and he is very professional, knowledgeable, transparent and caring which is needed within the Health & Social care industry. He has made most of our placements from a small PSL we have in place therefore delivers high quality candidates. He is promoting us as a brand which comes as a bonus when headhunting his candidates as well as given feedback and advise within the industry. I would highly recommend Frankie and his team if you are looking for an honest consultancy who is not after your money but instead making a difference to your organisation.
