How We Recruit for Our Clients

At Oak Employment Ltd, we take a structured and thorough approach to finding the right candidates for your business. Our recruitment process begins with a detailed conversation or visit to the site, to fully understand your requirements and the role. Once we have a clear job description, we create a targeted job advert designed to attract suitable candidates and then cross match it with the database.

As applications come in, we carefully review each CV, assessing qualifications, experience, and suitability for the role. We then make initial contact with promising candidates, speaking with them directly to discuss their experience, clarify details from their CV, and get a sense of their suitability and motivation.

We would only put a CV forward for your consideration if we feel confident that they meet your requirements and they have completed our registration process and been fully vetted. From there, we coordinate with you to arrange interviews and ensure a smooth recruitment process from start to finish.

Our goal is simple: to provide a high-quality, reliable service that connects businesses with the right people efficiently and professionally.

Temporary to Permanent Roles

Our temporary-to-permanent staffing solution provides employers with the flexibility to evaluate new employees before making long-term commitments. By engaging candidates in a temporary capacity, you gain the opportunity to assess their performance, adaptability, and cultural fit within your organisation.

At the end of the agreed period, successful candidates can be seamlessly transitioned into permanent employment. This approach minimises hiring risks, supports more informed decisions, and ensures you secure talent that aligns with your business objectives and workplace culture.

Compliance

At Oak Employment Ltd, we take compliance seriously and ensure that every aspect of our recruitment process meets the highest legal and industry standards. Our procedures are fully aligned with current UK legislation, including:

  • Right to Work checks in accordance with Home Office requirements
  • Agency Worker Regulations (AWR) to ensure fair treatment for temporary staff
  • GDPR and data protection laws, safeguarding personal information at every stage
  • Health & Safety compliance, with particular attention to industrial roles

All candidates are thoroughly vetted, with checks on qualifications, licences, references, and certifications such as fork lift or driving permits. This not only protects our clients but also gives candidates the assurance that they are being placed in safe, compliant, and properly managed roles.

By embedding compliance into everything we do, Oak Employment provides peace of mind to businesses and candidates alike—ensuring recruitment that is professional, transparent, and fully accountable.
