Our story

Built Around the Realities of Modern Hiring

Oxford + Richmond was built by leaders who have sat in the chair — and know what it costs to get a hiring decision wrong.

2018

Modernizing Executive Search

Oxford + Richmond began in 2018 with a belief that executive search could deliver a more responsive, transparent and modern experience.

From the outset, we combined deep search expertise with a sales-based mindset, disciplined outreach and thoughtful use of technology. That foundation continues to shape how we support clients and candidates today.

Building the Future of Mid-Level Recruitment

As our work evolved, we saw another challenge taking shape. Organizations could make strong leadership hires, but often lacked the structure and capacity to consistently build the teams around them.

We began applying the same discipline, market access and partnership-led approach used in executive search to recurring professional hiring. This created a more structured way to support the roles that keep organizations moving and help leadership teams deliver on their priorities.
