Specialist talent for public & private sector organisations

Our client base is wide, from local authorities, housing associations, charities, property consultancies, landowners to funds and family offices.

They took the time to understand the vacancy and the team. Within two weeks we had an excellent candidate in post. I’d recommend them without hesitation.

Why Oyster

Four reasons


01

Sector specialists

Our consultants come from the disciplines they recruit in. They speak the language, know the organisations and understand what excellent looks like.

02

Speed to shortlist

We average 8 working days from brief to shortlist. Our network is warm, we’re not starting from scratch every time you call.

03

Permanent and interim

Same consultant, same brief, both delivery models. No handing off to a different desk when you need an interim instead of a permanent hire.

04

Transparent fees

Fixed percentage for permanent, clear day-rate margins for interim. No hidden costs, no rebate small print that unravels.

How we work

Briefs, not JDs


Intake
01

Tell us the brief

Share the vacancy details, the team context and what good looks like. The more specific, the better, we work from briefs, not job descriptions.

Sweep
02

We go to our network

Our sector consultant activates their network first, before advertising, targeting people who could be right for you, including those not actively looking.

Lock-on
03

A focused shortlist

Three to five appointable candidates, not a pile of CVs. Every person on the list has been spoken to, assessed and prepared before they reach you.

Secure
04

Through to appointment

Interview coordination, offer management, references and post-placement support. We stay involved until the probation period is clear.

Start the conversation

Tell us about the vacancy. A sector specialist replies, not a coordinator. We’ll come back to you within one working day.
