Our Commitment
Our core commitment is to promote positive change by ensuring that social and environmental impact organisations have the tools and people they need for success. We strive to embody these values on every level and pride ourselves on having an excellent track record of supporting candidates from underrepresented groups and transparent and clear communication. We truly seek to work in partnership with our clients so they are able to continue working towards their world-changing visions.
Collective and Personal Expertise
Oxford HR’s strength and uniqueness is defined by the exceptional skills and experience of its staff. We believe that a team performs best when every individual is valued for their knowledge and expertise and encouraged to work together in a nurturing and supportive environment. We share knowledge and focus on disseminating ideas and expertise across the whole organisation. We hire people who are steeped in the backgrounds they’re delivering services in. People who are professional and resourceful, constantly eager to learn, and committed to their own personal development.
Care
We firmly believe in a culture of care: for our staff, our associates, our clients and candidates, and for the sectors we work in. We work globally, across many different cultures and societies, and constantly strive for a culturally sensitive response in all our projects, and for a deeper understanding of the people we work with. Our culture is non-hierarchical, and we regard all staff and associates as equal parts of our organisation.
Cultural Sensitivity
We recognise the underrepresentation of certain minority groups in leadership roles and want to challenge that wherever we can. We thrive with our diverse workforce and fundamentally believe in the strength of diversity. Having worked across cultures and contexts, we have the expertise and sensitivity to work effectively all over the world.
Value for Money
We understand that organisations in the social and environmental impact space are often under financial constraint. We offer services that are flexibly priced, and we have the ability to be creative in offering bespoke packages to suit both your needs, and your means. Most importantly, we understand these constraints as we are an organisation that puts purpose before profit ourselves.
Ethical and Transparent
We uphold principles of ethical recruitment including openness and transparency in our communication with both candidates and clients.

Our global team is innovative, ambitious and experienced, with exceptional networks and each with a passion for positive change.
