What makes me different
I have eight years’ experience of Technical Recruitment across multiple markets in the UK. This includes being both a business leader and also a hands-on recruiter/head hunter whilst setting up various successful Tech Recruitment teams. I have managed highly successful teams built on simple but effective principles: having consultants who really learn their markets, get to know their customers (both clients and candidates) and work with high productivity.
I am building up the Opus Manchester office from scratch. This comprises of two divisions – a Technical Recruitment Division which is made up of different specialist teams of consultants in specific technology markets (Microsoft, Open Source, Business Intelligence, Infrastructure, DevOps, Big Data and Cyber) across both Permanent and Contract professionals in the North of England and a Commercial Software Division placing Sales and Marketing professionals in the UK and European Tech market (Cyber Security, Big Data, RPA, Enterprise and Cloud Software).
It is a rapidly growing, entrepreneurial and innovative company which is always looking to set new records and raise the bar in terms of customer service.
