From a client

I've had the pleasure of working with Ocean Red since its inception and I can say with confidence that Richard's approach to recruitment is something genuinely different.

More proof.

From a candidate

He also gave me confidence because he understood what my previous role was very well, as well as what this new role was and knew I'd be a good fit. He has a unique perspective into whether or not the grass will genuinely be greener from where you currently are.

What people say

From the people I’ve worked with.

Richard's approach to recruitment is both consultative and thorough. He takes the time to truly understand your business, its culture, its people, and its goals, before working on any brief, which makes a real difference in the quality of candidates he puts forward.

Alicia AriffinChief People Officer, xyt

If I am looking for a new role I won’t hesitate to contact Ocean Red again, of all the agencies I had spoken to on my job hunt, they were the standout with great communication and a simple and easy process.

Connor BaxterC# Developer

It was clear from the get go that I was important to him and that he was putting in real effort to ensure that I knew what was happening, steps going forward and most importantly that I was comfortable and happy with how things were.

Peter DayLaravel Engineer

When London salaries became a real constraint for us, rather than telling me the budget wouldn't work, he came back with an excellent engineer based in Portugal who fit both the role and what we could afford. That kind of pragmatic, commercial thinking is rare.
