What makes me different
I have been in the technical recruitment world since 2005, having started as a trainee for Sthree then working under Opus Founder, Darren Ryemill, at a company he previously co-owned.
I'm immensely proud to say that I was there on day one of Opus (I made the first ever Opus placement) as one of the founders and feel privileged to have been involved in all the growth, achievements and accolades since.
I love the endless opportunities, career progression and exposure to new things that have come from being here, from managerial responsibility to working internationally.
In the modern world where start-up businesses are rife, it’s exciting to be involved in one which can count itself as a genuine disruptor in the industry and one which is used as the benchmark for others in the sector.
