Case Studies

James Shenton is the founder and managing consultant at Opus Resourcing, a boutique technical recruitment business with 19 years of industry experience. Operating across the UK, Europe, and the US, Opus specializes in mid to executive-level technical recruitment.

Before joining Superfast Circle, Opus had built its business primarily through referrals and networking within the talent acquisition community, establishing a strong reputation for delivering on challenging roles for major companies like Sky, Three, and Apple.

However, the recruitment landscape began to shift significantly, with internal talent acquisition teams growing larger and more companies entering the technical recruitment space. This market transformation, increased competition and a need to expand beyond their warm network prompted James to seek professional marketing support.

He discovered and joined Superfast Circle through their email campaigns and attended a webinar. He was drawn to their specialized focus on recruitment marketing and consultative approach, which aligned with Opus’s business philosophy.
