”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

”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, Practical Action

”The most significant contribution of Oxford HR was the breadth and depth of candidates that we interviewed. This really spoke to the diversity of profiles that I felt was critical for the team success. Oxford HR was very supportive throughout the entire process from initial interviews to recruitment. They were also critical in helping us to navigate post recruitment by discussing candidates progress and recommending solutions.

Patrick Domingos-TembwaDirector of Investment and Operations, Reall

”Oxford HR asked the right questions and listened deeply from the outset of the recruitment process grasping rapidly the type of special individuals we were looking for to complete our International Board. Their search processes were thorough and a number of truly outstanding candidates were identified. From the initial contact right through to the interview and hiring phase, we were supported by a team of friendly professionals. We would not hesitate working with Oxford HR again.

Kay RichigerManager Governance, International Board and Council

”What was most impressive was their laser-beam like ability to scan the market to quickly come up with a set of individuals for final interview.

Nick HepworthDirector, Water Witness International
