OSA's excellent team are experts in finding the perfect candidate for jobs at all levels, from graduates and temporary placements to senior executive positions and non-executive directors.

Sophie Gregson
Managing Director

MIRP, CertRP

As well as specialising in senior recruitment for the Guernsey market, Sophie oversees the day-to-day operations for running the OSA office. During her 19 years with OSA, she has helped hundreds of candidates with their careers, from working with junior candidates when she first joined to the more senior/executive candidates she helps today. Sophie has seen a great deal of change throughout her years at OSA but what has remained the same is the relationships that she builds with candidates and clients and the satisfaction that she achieves when she makes that perfect placement!

Belinda Windsor
Manager

Assoc. CIPD, MIRP, CertRP

Belinda says: ‘My passion, having worked in recruitment for quite some time, is meeting and helping people with career guidance. Success is knowing that organisations recruit people and not just CVs, so I like to take time to work through the ‘ideals’ on both sides before making introductions. Knowing that it can be difficult to find that perfect match for both sides at the right time, I apply reasonable creativity when coming up with solutions for you. I am definitely not a promoter of the square peg/round hole scenario.’

Angela Ferguson
Senior Consultant

MA (HONS), MIRP DipRP

With 15 years of recruitment experience under her belt at OSA, Angela thrives on pairing a person with the right job that will allow them to flourish. She is perceptive and empathetic by nature, enabling her to build strong relationships with both her candidates and clients, and can also be described as tenacious with a will to succeed at the task in hand. Angela’s background includes completing a degree in Philosophy followed by her early career in the travel industry in London and France –  and then a move to Guernsey, where she now calls home.
