”We engaged Oxford HR to support us with two particularly challenging searches. On both occasions, they identified strong candidates with the skills we needed. Their consultants bring valuable sector knowledge, which enabled them to understand both our organisational context and culture. We are very pleased with the results.

Svetlana IgnatievaChief Operating Officer, Fauna and Flora

”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. We have since worked with Oxford HR a number of times. The relationship has grown into a full understanding of our organisational culture, leading to some very successful appointments.

Kay RichigerManager Governance, International Board and Council, WWF

”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. Throughout, it felt like having a world-class HR team working inhouse. The positive impact that the candidate has made in her few months with us is testament to the quality of Oxford HR’s work. The team took time to develop a detailed understanding of our recruitment needs. Their questions about the role were particularly useful in helping us to deepen our own understanding about the person and profile we were looking for.

Nick HepworthCEO, Water Witness

”Oxford HR is one of the most effective recruiters we have worked with at Oceana. They have twice found us extremely skilful leaders for key parts of our global organization. I look forward to continuing our productive relationship with them in the coming years and recommend them strongly to NGOs seeking high level talent.

Andy SharplessOceana

”The team at Oxford HR have been outstanding. Right from the first discussion they strike the perfect balance between running a professional process and taking the time to truly understand our business and the requirements of the search. They have expert knowledge of the Environmental Sustainability sector, a significant network of highly skilled contacts to call upon and the commitment needed to deliver a successful outcome. I am delighted with the candidates they have helped us to recruit and would recommend them without hesitation.
