Research Driven Recruitment

Joining Oxford Knight

Role: Research Associate
Location: City of London
Salary: Basic Rate £25,000. OTE £35,000+

Who are we?

Here at Oxford Knight we do things differently. We believe that it’s time to bring much needed thought, intelligence and calculation to recruiting. We also think that a company’s working environment is incredibly important to produce the best results. Therefore we work in an open and relaxed office where personality and creativity is encouraged, and where intelligent recruiting is taught.

Whilst our immediate goals are to service our clients by producing the highest calibre candidates the sector has to offer, our long term ambition is to create a whole new model of recruitment which we can roll out across the world.

The Role

The Research Associate (RA) role is designed to put you through your paces and train you to become a first class head-hunter. Our training combines elements of classroom learning alongside practical one-to-one mentoring which gets you up to speed and confident in your role as quickly as possible. Once you’ve learned the ropes, you’ll be speaking to and managing clients and candidates on a daily basis, researching the technology sector to always stay one step ahead of the game and coming up with new ideas to help push the business forwards.

This isn’t your average recruitment job, so we encourage people who haven’t necessarily considered this sector before to apply. All you need is positive attitude, the drive and ability to learn and a hunger for a prosperous career.
