”WWF is fully committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and has stringent KPIs that are upheld in every recruitment, hence the decision to partner with Oxford HR as a company that understands this deep commitment and actively instills DEI principles throughout their search process. In all the assignments done in the past two years, Oxford HR brought forward long- and shortlists of excellent and diverse candidates with the relevant technical skills and the people’s skills and values that are so important to us. We wholeheartedly recommend Oxford HR's high-value for-money services.
