The problem
Hiring problems rarely begin with sourcing alone. They begin earlier — when success is not clearly defined, the role is not well scoped, and stakeholders are not fully aligned on what great looks like.
From there, the process becomes harder: search efforts move without enough structure, evaluation becomes inconsistent, and decisions are made with less clarity than they should be.
Our approach brings rigour to the full process — from role definition and alignment at the outset to disciplined search, evaluation, and decision support throughout.
Our practice
01 · Retained Search
Retained executive and business-critical search for roles where hiring risk is meaningful and decisions require clarity, discipline, and perspective.
02 · TalentSpoke™
An embedded recruitment model for organizations with ongoing hiring needs, extending our approach to bring structure, predictability, visibility, and confidence to how hiring happens over time and at scale.
Why Oxford + Richmond
We define success upfront — aligning stakeholders, sharpening the role, and ensuring the search begins with a clear view of what great looks like.
We proactively map and engage the market — reaching candidates who would not otherwise come to the client's attention, and providing transparent benchmarking on talent, compensation, and availability.
Consistent, structured evaluation brings rigour to candidate assessment — helping leaders make confident, defensible hiring decisions.
The most capable candidates in any market are most often employed, performing well, and not actively looking. We identify and engage them directly — with the credibility and context required to open a conversation that a job posting or inexperienced recruiter never could.
Client testimonials
