Davenport Oxley

Davenport Oxley is a London-based recruitment firm that provides interim and contract, permanent and executive search services in the UK and globally. It specialises in commercial, technical, professional, mid-level and senior management appointments, and says it works with clients ranging from early stage start-ups and SMEs to large global enterprises.

It covers four industry areas: Financial Services, Industrial, Public and Social Sector, and Technology and Digital. Its interim offering supplies admin, technical, professional, mid-level and senior executive interim managers for temporary replacement, special projects and mergers and acquisitions. Permanent placements are made on a contingency basis, using database search and global networks, with fees based on successful placement. Executive search is offered on a retained basis, where part of the fee is paid up front, a second part when a shortlist is provided and the balance on completion.

The company's consultants are supported by researchers, and it also handles cross-border recruitment for firms around the world.
