Our vision for the sector is aligned with promoting positive change in favour of marginalised people.

We believe in inclusive economic growth that creates jobs and equal opportunities for everyone; helping people lift themselves out of poverty and leading to self-reliant, stable and prosperous communities. Our team has worked across the globe with clients in this space, from funds specialising in agriculture, to niche-focused livelihood NGOs. This experience also spans the range of roles we have worked on within these organisations, from specialists to head office, from Sustainability Managers to Chief Executives.

We are therefore in a strong place to advise, appoint and develop our clients’ senior teams, being uniquely placed to identify the key leadership attributes when working in this important sector.

”I highly recommend Oxford HR, for their ability to utilise their strong network of candidates to forge and maintain mutually beneficial relationships.

Hasin JahanCountry Director Bangladesh

”Oxford HR has continued to follow my progress, and every 3 months checks up on me to see how I’m doing and if I need any support with anything. I have never experienced this level of support from any recruiter.

Audrey AhwanDirector for Programme Development, BRAC

”On the whole I have been impressed with the quality and calibre of candidates Oxford HR have presented us with and their ability to cast a wide global trawl that wrings out candidates who may not be currently looking, giving us a more solid pool of individuals to consider. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Ola FajobiDirector Global HR and Organisational Development, IRRI

”The Oxford HR team were proactive in keeping me informed of the progress and were helpful in giving advice on the interview process of the shortlisted candidates.
