In Oxford we are lucky to have a large range of excellent local recruiters from both direct employers (businesses who recruit their staff directly) to recruitment agencies (who recruit candidates on behalf of their clients) both of whom offer a range of excellent opportunities.



Oxford Recruitment Agencies


The Oxford area has the advantage of a number of very helpful employment agencies who can listen to your needs and help you to be the first to apply for the positions you want. Recruitment agencies can really maximise your chances of finding and, more importantly, getting that superb.


Recruitment agencies can also assist you in 'thinking outside the box'. Have you explored the idea of using the skills you have gotten and using them to a different type of employment? Recruitment agencies can prove to be an vital source for job seekers.



Searching Jobs online


It is important not to underestimate the significance of the internet to your job hunt. Loads employers are turning to the internet for their recruitment needs, occasionally posting their roles on their own websites as well as jobsites such as this one. Often this can be their only avenue of advertising their positions so be sure to exploit this valuable tool.


Create a job alert and we will email you whenever a new job is available that matches your job criteria; informing you of the relevant roles so you see them before anyone else.


Do you know employers and agencies can also use our website to look for CVs to fill their vacancies? So make sure you register your CV with us so we can help bring the jobs to you.



Useful Recruitment Advice


Job seeking can be tricky and unfortunately there will commonly be competition so it's essential your CV makes an impact. Your CV is a potential employers' first point of contact with you so it must be up to date and well presented. Your prospective recruiter should be able to see at a glance what your key skills are and what experience you have had. Try starting your CV with a personal statement. This should be a couple of about you, explaining your strengths and your goals.
