WHAT OUR SPECIALISTS SAY

Clare is a really communicative, understanding and supportive person. She always took care of all my questions promptly, our exchanges were very fluid and clear. What I appreciate also in Clare is that she takes time to discuss for other topics outside of the interview process, making it really pleasant. She managed all throughout the interview process, everything is clear and every doubts I had were answered. I felt I can trust her fully and I am not mistaken. Finally, I am very happy to have joined the company she presented me. She described it the way I am living from the inside. Thank you Clare!

Lead Ruby Developer , Oyster

Sam has been highly professional and dedicated to helping our organisation grow. His resourcefulness, whilst hiring both pre-sales and sales team members, was exceptional. His communication is always very clear, and his approach has been reassuring during all steps of the process. He has maintained a very level-headed and pragmatic approach whilst ensuring communication to prospective candidates is clear and precise. Sam has a solid understanding of the Cyber Security marketplace in terms of the expectations of candidates in a highly competitive space – this enabled us to successfully recruit team members across EMEA in a timely and professional manner. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Sam if you are looking to expand your teams.

Client experience, Pentera

Working with Clare has transformed our engineering hiring at Oyster – basically strapped rocker boosters to it. She’s worked incredibly hard finding us candidates and helping get them closed, and beyond that she’s helped us refine our process to be more efficient and effective. Based on this experience I’d definitely choose Opus for future engagements.
