Tailored recruitment solutions
Opus was established in 2014 to offer a solution to the large temporary resourcing costs many local authorities face following traditional methods of recruiting staff.
Our local authority heritage means we have a deep insight into how public sector and not for profit organisations work, which sets us apart in the market.
We understand that temporary resourcing spend is a significant burden on local authorities and work directly with your organisation to understand your specific recruitment needs and establish a high quality, cost effective solution to resourcing staff which reduces spend on the expensive agency supply chain. Depending on how the model is set up, this can deliver a financial return.
Our specialist recruitment teams have a wealth of public sector recruitment experience and a track record of delivering successful solutions for our clients’ resourcing needs.
Opus can offer clients more than just recruitment agency services. We are also an experienced managed service provider with a suite of fully scalable, end-to-end recruitment workflow and supply chain management systems that can easily handle 100 or 10,000 workers.
Our focus is on quality, and we are continually striving to improve and develop to stay at the front of the recruitment field.
