Economic Development

Transformative Leadership and Empowerment

Sustainable and progressive economic development is critical to both the long- and short-term viability of any positive change, and so is an integral part of every not-for-profit and for-purpose organisation’s success. As the global economy continues to shift and change away from its traditional models, the need for transformative leadership is greater than ever. Oxford HR supports not-for-profit, public and private sector organisations in identifying the inspirational talent they need to address these complex social and economic development issues and ensure a positive impact on societies.

“They [Oxford HR] were very encouraging in their approach, giving very positive vibes about the recruitment process ahead, instead of recruitment firms who think it’s good to keep candidates in the dark and be pessimistic in their communication.. once I started moving to the next rounds they were always there to advise and guide me giving me the necessary visibility, transparency, guidance & prompt feedbacks which as a candidate, were so important for me.”
