Recruitment support across key Thames Valley industries.

Thames Recruitment supports businesses across Oxfordshire, including Thame, Oxford, Bicester, Aylesbury and other local areas. We work with a diverse range of organisations, from growing independent companies to established employers with ongoing hiring requirements, delivering recruitment solutions tailored to your sector, structure and long term objectives.

Our approach is both practical and relationship led. We take time to understand how your business operates, the pressures you face and the qualities that define success within your team. Rather than simply forwarding CVs, we introduce carefully selected candidates who combine the right skills with the right mindset to contribute from day one.

Over time, we have built strong partnerships across office, commercial and industrial sectors, including professional services, retail, education, logistics and manufacturing. Whether you are recruiting for a single position or scaling your team, we provide recruitment support grounded in a deep understanding of the Oxfordshire job market.

What sets us apart.

At Thames Recruitment, we believe hiring should be clear, responsive and built on genuine conversations. Open communication, honest guidance and a strong people focus shape the way we work. We are not driven by targets or scripted processes. We are driven by long term relationships and by helping employers and candidates achieve the right fit.

Being based in Oxfordshire gives us real insight into the local job market, the businesses operating within it and the people who make them successful. That understanding allows us to act efficiently, match more accurately and deliver recruitment support that feels personal and considered rather than transactional.

"I honestly cannot fault Thames Recruitment. From the first call, they were easy to talk to and actually listened to what I wanted rather than trying to rush me into something. I never felt pressured and they kept me in the loop the whole time. The role I ended up in suits me so much better than my last job and I would not have found it without them."
