Research Driven Recruitment

At Oxford Knight we love Capital Markets, Big Data & Start-ups. Let us find the right hire for your company.

  • We love the core work Read More

    A lack of listening skills and knowledge is the number one complaint made about recruiters. We remedy this in a number of ways; one of which is to actually have a culture of learning. We’re all Wikipedia addicts, meet-up organisers, bloggers, and tech crunch fans. We do this every day and long before we even look at a job spec.

     

  • Identify and meet the needs Read More

    Face time is very important. We can’t guarantee to always be in a suit, but rest assured we will listen, consult, and make note of your needs both salient and subtle.

     

  • Search and discovery Read More

    Most of our competitors dive right into this, but we do this part very well. Our ability to identify the top percentile candidates is second to none, but remember we’ve already been to conferences, meet-ups, dojo etc. These hard to find candidates actually listen to us rather than those that spam to them day in day out.

  • We lead by example Read More

    We’re a young, fresh faced bunch, but also have the experience of some very talented greybeard recruiters. Rest assured our candidates are well prepped, have read the job spec, and are certainly sold on the job before they even interview.
