ORYX

ORYXsearch is a technical recruiting firm led by principal Bob Russell, who has been doing high technology recruiting for over 40 years. Its mantra is identify, engage, execute, and its stated mission is to create relationships rather than transactions. The company believes in a collaborative approach to recruiting, working closely with clients to understand their needs and develop solutions together, with the goal of building long lasting client relationships. It offers help at any level, from impartial advice to practical assistance in connecting with people, and promises to be there as questions or issues arise at every step.

The company's industry focus is robotics, semiconductor, software, technology and executive hiring. Bob Russell has helped young, high growth technology companies scale their organisations by using a deep network and tier one tools to source and actively engage engineering talent, and has also worked with larger companies, usually finding unicorns or people at executive level. ORYXsearch describes its expertise as more than 40 years of connecting qualified engineers, and its recruiter focus as search and research strategy, research, engagement, qualification and success.

ORYXsearch sets out four key solutions. Search and research recruiting is a process it says enhances candidate interest and enthusiasm while reducing time to hire. Collaborative sourcing combines an understanding of the client's situation with the firm's tools, skills and network to identify prospective connections quickly. Matching provides quick, effective screening of potential situations against the client's requirements, and messaging is a proven method for engaging top connections. Cost varies according to the client's level of commitment. The argument for using the firm is that it saves time by avoiding hundreds of unqualified and unwanted connections, saves money through an efficient process that managers and candidates prefer, and raises the quality of the hiring experience.
