“The team at Austin Fraser is extremely customer focused. They took a lot of time upfront to understand our business and the requirements of the technical positions that we recruit for. The result is that they can put forward a couple of candidates for a job and we know that they will be a very good fit.

Austin Fraser’s service takes the recruitment burden away from our management team. We simply don’t have time to trawl through hundreds of CVs, which in our experience is what a lot of other recruitment agencies give you. Another thing that we like about their approach is that they are completely honest with us. If we are asking for the impossible, they will tell us rather than promise something that they cannot deliver, which means we can plan accordingly.”

Oxford University Press

Its group IT function provides technical and project support across the business.

"I have dealt with many different recruitment agencies over the five years that I have worked at Oxford University Press and I can honestly say that what differentiates Austin Fraser above the rest is that they listen to what is required, act upon what is required and provides the right number of potential candidates that fit the requirements. This is done in a controlled and yet in a rapid way due to at most times the requirement is needed at short notice. There is no pressure sales of candidates and the follow up after the appointment is in place is again good.”
