48 CORPORATE VISION / December 2017 , Opilio Recruitment is the go-to digital recruitment agency for global brands, tech start-ups and everything in between, simply put they are connected with the best in the industry. We invited Sheba Karamat to tell us about the success of the company and the services it offers. Connecting Bright and Talented People Established in London in 2010, the team at Opilio thought that by bringing its experience and passions together, it could really offer clients and candidates something a little different. Sheba tells us the idea behind the company and where the team wanted to take it in the future. “Over the years, we have consistently grown our business and have an incredible team of passionate and intelligent people that share our love of the digital space. We will continue to expand outside of London, with our offices in Birmingham and Manchester, and we have the network, connections, and social media reach to make things happen across the UK.” Providing us with a brief overview of the company, its clients and the services that it offers, Sheba alludes to the secrets of Opilio’s achievements. Part of its success is how the company treats its clients, as she explains what steps the firm takes to ensure the client receives the best possible outcome. “Digital recruitment is what we do. We know that the single greatest asset to any business are its people, and it is our job to find exceptional talent. At Opilio, we have three branches based in London, Birmingham and Manchester, but we recruit right across Lancashire, the midlands, and the southwest of England. “Regarding our approach to clients, we like to visit our clients in their office spaces and spend some time getting to know them, and to get the feel for their culture and atmosphere. At Opilio, we are not just about finding the candidate with the right skills, but also we look to find the candidate that fits the dynamics of the office team they will be working with.” Furthermore, Sheba goes on to elaborate on what differentiates the company from its competitors, and marks it out as the best recruitment agency in the surrounding areas. She talks about the personal touch that staff offer, as well as the initiative which strives the company to move forwards. “Crucial to our success, our personal services develop into mutually beneficial and long- standing partnerships. We proudly display our client partnerships on our website, along with testimonials from clients for whom we have made placements. “Opilio Recruitment prides itself on its industry knowledge, with many of our consultants previously working in the digital media, mobile and technology sectors they recruit for. This reinforces our statement that we understand the client’s requirements, and speak their language. “Opilio’s initiative to move out of yesteryears shadow is to show that we are just normal people. Opilio Recruitment is a fun, trustworthy, family with utmost pride in what we do – and our clients show their appreciation by sticking with us, with many glowing recommendations about staff and the business we have done on our website.” Discussing the working environment within the company, Sheba alludes to the open culture in which staff have the freedom to move around and maintain honest and open relationships with their colleagues. “Throughout the company, we have an open plan office so no one feels isolated, and we encourage our team to get out and about together to enjoy different activities that are not work related so that everyone has a good time. The team take the time to communicate and bond. So far, this year we have done mini golfing, skiing, and held an outdoor BBQ picnic, in the summer of course! Looking ahead, we will have to see what 1711CV31 is on the cards for our next event, but our team will definitely enjoy it.” In her concluding comments, Sheba informs us of what developments she foresees within the recruitment industry. There is a lot of positivity buzzing around Opilio regarding the future, and with the competition being strong, Opilio will adapt and innovate itself in order to attract new clients and recruits. “Moving forward, digital recruitment is evolving as quickly as the whole of the digital world. We deal with forward- thinking clients who are selling cutting-edge technical products. Competition is fierce, so we must act quickly to attract new recruits who possess the knowledge and creativity demanded by the clients we represent.” Contact: Sheba Karamat Contact Email:
