”Oxford HR's support throughout my application process has been invaluable and I was particularly impressed with the overall transparency and responsiveness. The entire team, from the lead consultant to the thematic experts and support staff, have been very supportive through the process, with clear communication at all stages.

”We received excellent and timely support from Oxford HR throughout the entire process. Each step was simple and clear, and it was evident from the outset that it was a real team effort. From the time taken to explore and understand our recruitment brief to keeping us informed about progress, supporting the interview process and through to post-appointment advice, we found it a comprehensive and invaluable service.

”Oxford HR stands out because of the time that they invest in getting to know ETP and what we’re looking for. That time results in a customised search which produces a strong pool of candidates. The team at Oxford HR also runs an impeccably-planned process, taking a lot of the administrative and scheduling stress away from us.
