Oakmyre is led by Sian Williams, who founded the firm after twenty years in senior and executive recruitment across the public sector, healthcare and purpose-led organisations.
She brings a clear understanding of accountable, values-led environments and the leadership they require. That insight, and the relationships behind it, is what Hertfordshire’s universities and colleges get when they work with Oakmyre.
The focus is simple: securing the right leader, not just filling a vacancy.
Clients and candidates describe the time taken to understand their needs and the calibre of people put forward.
Sian is an excellent recruiter who skilfully understood our needs and quickly found a number of suitable candidates, one of whom we appointed and who is delivering exceptional results. Personable, professional and energetic.
She goes above and beyond to get to know you and your needs. Her communication is spot on and she is super effective. She makes recruitment not just easy, but a pleasure.
A relationship-driven recruiter who brings extensive expertise and a personalised approach. Her strategic insight makes her an invaluable partner for organisational hiring needs.
We work with universities, colleges and education organisations across the East of England, at senior, executive and board level, alongside the wider public and charity sectors.
Senior professional services and leadership roles, from Director of Finance, Estates, HR and Marketing through to Chief Operating Officer and executive leadership. Our focus is leadership recruitment rather than academic posts.
No. Higher and Further Education sit within our wider remit across the public sector, healthcare, social care, charities and housing.
We work in partnership, not at pace for the sake of it. Quality, transparency and care guide every engagement, and every search is led personally by Sian.
Yes. Every engagement begins with a conversation. Whether the brief is fully formed or you are still working it through, we would welcome the chance to talk.
The best outcomes come from an honest conversation about what is genuinely needed. If you are shaping a senior appointment in Hertfordshire’s education sector, we would welcome the conversation.
