”I am aware of Oxford HR but it's the first time I have used them for a search. We used their Nairobi offices for a very senior role based in East Africa. Their approach from the outset was impeccable. Each stage worked seamlessly, their applicant pack was very well presented and written, their candidate portal is excellent and their support available at any point. We successfully recruited having virtually managed this from our London HQ. I would highly recommend their services.

Julia PorterInternational Head of HR, Brooke

”I want to thank you for your email as it is very useful feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me with more details as I know it is not necessarily a common standard. I have huge appreciation to you and your team for the management of this process – it makes it pleasant and meaningful, irrespective of the outcome.

”I had great support from the Oxford HR team. They were available to answer any questions I had and to update me on the processes every step of the way.

Oulie KeitaExecutive Director, YouthConnekt Africa

”Oxford HR managed the process extremely professionally helping us to source great candidates, whilst taking all the weight off us through the process. Importantly they helped to filter and ensure the fit was right and that candidates were well briefed and genuinely interested and suited to us.

Justin HighsteadExecutive Director, Gatsby Africa

”The team at Oxford HR were great. They were flexible in how we worked together to meet our needs and lived up to their commitments.
