WHO WE ARE
recruitment services tailored to your needs,
including Executive, Contingent, Retained and
Exclusive Solutions. The key to our service
is our unique proactive search methodology;
before we start working with clients in a
particular area, we spend 12 months minimum
mapping that market. This involves speaking
with everyone in that market, finding out what
they have done in their career so far, what they
currently do and more importantly what they
want to do in their next job. Hence, when we
start working with clients on vacancies we have
a thorough knowledge of the local talent pool.
WHAT WE DO
From our offices in London, Manchester,
Zurich, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, New York and
Singapore we cover the UK, Ireland, Continental
Europe, USA and Asia Pacific regions.
WHERE WE DO IT
2002
YEAR OF OUR
ESTABLISHMENT
Due to our unique search methodology,
deep technical knowledge, and excellence in
delivery, we develop long-term partnerships
based on trust and integrity. This enables
us to attract the most suitable talent in the
market instead of being limited to a list of
candidates that are actively seeking jobs. This
is paramount when the demand for many skills
needed within the sector outweighs the supply
of candidates at any one time.

“I have used OJ Associates for a number of years in my current position and
also in previous roles at other firms. They have very good knowledge of the
Compliance and Risk market, can map out the market well but importantly get
to know their clients and who would, and more importantly, who wouldn’t fit
the team dynamics on an assignment. They will understand your requirements
and also will only provide high-calibre candidates, priding themselves with a
reputation of investing long term in the client relationship and the candidate
relationship. They don’t waste anyone’s time, they manage the logistical side and
prep the candidates well before interviews and all in all are a pleasure to work
with and are one of the most professional recruitment firms I have worked with.”

Swiss Re
“I have had a very successful and productive working relationship with Oliver
James Associates over a number of years, including being placed by them into
both my current and previous employers, and from the hiring perspective, where
they have been involved in the recruitment of certain members of my Financial
Planning and Reporting Team. I have found them to have an excellent technical
understanding of the insurance sector. They take time to understand the
requirements of their clients and they are able to source relevant candidates who
closely match the desired profile. They have a strong knowledge of the candidate
marketplace and are able to provide a consultative approach that greatly benefits
the candidates with whom they work, as well as the clients they serve. I would
highly recommend them as a specialist search agency to the insurance market.”
