- Turnover increased 47%
- Staff numbers increased 35%
- Placements increased by 40%
Oakleaf, the recruitment consultancy that specialises in HR, payroll, reward, pension and human capital services, today announced record financial results for the year ended 31 March 2015. Its turnover has increased by 47%, net fee income is up by 43% and profit before tax has increased by 60%.
Candidate placement figures is another statistic that highlights the firm’s growth – these have increased by 40%. This is supported by the number of employees working at Oakleaf - up 35% in the calendar year.
“Becoming the leader in our market has come largely through word of mouth recommendations in our original financial and professional services markets, as well as diversifying the industries we support, whether those are pharma, construction, telecoms and many others,” explained Nicola Grimshaw, CEO of Oakleaf.
“To see our team’s work and courage come to fruition through these performance figures is extremely gratifying for us all. Our work has a long-term impact on businesses in the UK and internationally. It’s significant to us that our placement figures also highlight our integrity when it comes to the businesses and people we support.”
Other significant success factors, according to Grimshaw, are growth of the reward and analytics team, the dominance of the payroll team and starting a part-time offering, something Oakleaf sees as an increasingly important solution to UK organisations’ hiring needs.
Oakleaf has plans to broaden its client base and specialisms to further support financial and business growth. It has recently doubled its occupancy space in its Holborn, London offices.
