About us
Recruitment,- built on trust, partnership and people.
What we’re famous for
We’ve spent 30 years in recruitment being obsessed about building trust with our clients and candidates.
OA Recruitment began in 1995 with one woman, one vision, and a belief that recruitment could be better. Built as a family-run business from the ground up, OA was founded on relationships, integrity, and a genuine commitment to people.
That approach has driven 30 years of growth. From individual placements to complex recruitment partnerships, OA continues to work closely with clients and candidates alike – staying true to our founder’s original belief that great recruitment is personal, thoughtful, and built to last.

Our History
30 years of recruitment, shaped by relationships.
OA Recruitment was founded in 1995 with a clear point of view: recruitment should be about people, not transactions. Built as a family-run business, we’ve grown through trust, consistency, and long term partnerships – not quick wins. For 30 years, we’ve worked alongside clients and candidates through changing markets and evolving needs, staying true to the belief that strong relationships deliver better results.
Here’s what 30 years of growing looks like.
