Job description

Join our team and experience how we lead with passion, positivity, and accountability to deliver the Right Talent. Right Now. We create an environment where you can think big, have fun and truly make a difference.

Recruiting Associate

For more than 40 years, Oxford Global Resources has helped organizations solve complex business and technical challenges by connecting them with specialized expertise. We work across industries including technology, life sciences, engineering, and healthcare, providing services that range from individual staffing support to co-managed projects and fully managed programs.

Our work is built on understanding what each organization needs and bringing the right people and approach to the challenge. Behind that work are teams across Oxford who strengthen how we operate, support our people, and help us deliver for clients. If you're looking for a place where your work connects to a larger purpose and has a visible impact, there's an opportunity to do that here.

What We're Looking For

Every successful placement at Oxford starts with a recruiter who knows how to find the right talent and build strong, lasting relationships. The Oxford Recruiter Academy is designed to teach you how to do just that.

This 6-week, paid, temp-to-perm training program is built for early-career professionals looking to launch a career in recruiting. Through hands-on training and in-person collaboration with a cohort of peers, you'll gain practical experience from day one while building the skills needed to succeed as a recruiter. The Academy also serves as a pathway to full-time recruiting opportunities at Oxford.

During the Academy, you'll take on the core of the recruiter role: sourcing, update calls with consultants, and consultant interviews. Your work helps Oxford connect clients with specialized technical talent.

We're looking for people who are curious, strong communicators, detail-oriented, coachable, and motivated by building relationships through meaningful conversations.
