”It is a delightful and rich experience to work with Alanna and Evelyne on a leadership search. Their deep knowledge of the sector; keen understanding of the leadership qualities we required and wanted in our search; true partnership approach in working with us; presence, patience, counsel and support throughout……all of these qualities contributed to a most successful search and a positive outcome for our team.

Barbara GranthamPresident and CEO, CARE Canada

”I have worked with several recruiting firms and recruiters in the past, but have had the best experience with Alanna and Evelyne from Oxford HR. They took the time to understand us as a company, me as an individual and the culture we are trying to build. This is important as they truly acted like consultants and did not just try to fill a role to get a fee. They guided me through the process, made recommendations, were very respectful of time and helped me make the best decision throughout the process, including the final negotiation with a candidate. I would highly recommend giving them a call if you are looking for talent.

Greg WongCEO, RIWI Corp

”Oxford HR was crucial in connecting me with Generations For Peace, and seeing the match between my experience and skills in programming, research and communications, and GFP’s needs to find a grant writer who could grow into other areas as the organisation evolves. They saw the potential in me to fill GFP’s immediate, medium and long-term needs, and it’s been an immensely gratifying journey with GFP so far.
