”I can talk with Yolanda – it doesn’t feel like an interview – it’s sharing my experiences, what I could bring and what HIVOS could bring to me. They (Oxford HR) were very accommodating in terms of time differences as I was in Africa at the time and gave me very clear timelines. I felt we were on the same page in terms of core values.

Claudia SurjadjajaTrustee to Supervisory Council, Hivos

”Oxford HR did an absolutely fantastic service for us when helping us with the search for the Head of Policy and Advocacy. We really needed their expertise and passion, and the added help with the dual location recruitment.
