Description

In this episode, Sean McNicholas, Senior Commercial Manager at The OPRA Group, discusses the company’s shift from traditional transactional recruitment to a project-based model. This approach aims to align with a client's broader business goals, whether they are scaling up, launching new initiatives, or undergoing a transformation. Sean explains how this involves a comprehensive project implementation plan that includes market intelligence, talent mapping, and candidate attraction. The model emphasizes building a long-standing relationship with clients by providing continuous education and adapting to their evolving needs, rather than just filling a job.


The SROP is hosted by James Lawton: ex-recruiter, now helping enterprise-level companies with high volume hiring with automation and AI.
