You trusted Tech Talent Partner.

Our business is boutique, highly personal, led by Managing Partners with 50 years of combined technology recruitment and executive search experience. We partner with the world’s leading law firms, Legal Tech companies, and SaaS businesses to hire the people who drive innovation, revenue, and transformation.

Since 2006, Opus Resourcing has been a specialist recruitment partner across technology, SaaS, Legal Tech, and Legal BD & Marketing. From engineering and product leadership to commercial, BD, and go-to-market teams, we embed ourselves in our clients’ growth plans and deliver searches that move the needle.

Our core services are Permanent hiring and Executive Search.

Our approach is research-led and consultative. We begin every search by mapping the market, identifying talent trends, and building a clear picture of the candidate landscape, so you understand not just who is available, but who is right.

  • We go beyond the active candidate pool, using targeted research and direct approaches to reach the best passive talent in Legal Tech, Legal BD, SaaS and technology
  • Every search is led personally by a Managing Partner, not passed down a chain
  • We build long-term partnerships, not transactional relationships, over 95% of our clients return to us for their next hire
  • Our flexible search methodology is tailored to your brief, your culture, and your timescales
  • We have 20 years of specialist experience delivering complex and niche hires across technology, SaaS and increasingly the legal sector
  • Clients trust us because we give honest advice throughout — on the market, the candidates, and the brief itself

Data-Centric and Tailored Approach to Talent Sourcing  

One size never fits all, so we invest significant time in understanding your business, culture, and hiring needs. We will start by using data analysis to understand your talent insights and tailoring our approach and recruitment strategy to suit your unique requirements.

Depth of Expertise

Our Managing Partners have decades of experience recruiting technology, product, legal BD, and senior commercial talent. That depth of knowledge across disciplines and sectors is what allows us to deliver where others can’t.

Specialist Depth Across Every Discipline

From software engineering and product to Legal BD leadership and SaaS go-to-market, we recruit across the full range of technology and commercial functions, so you never need to brief the same context twice.

Focus on Quality over Quantity

In a market where candidates can apply for roles at the click of a button from anywhere in the world, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the volume of applications: not all of whom are qualified. Our extended talent networks and market mapping skills enable us to focus on delivering you the small number of quality candidates you require.

Global Approach

We work across the UK, US and Europe, with particular depth in the US legal market and European SaaS landscape. We understand the cultural and commercial nuances of hiring in each market.

Superior Candidate Experience

For us, delivering a superior candidate experience is a critical ingredient in the methodology we use to ensure your success. This improves your job acceptance rate and enables us to secure trusted advisor status with candidates. Many of our former candidates
have gone on to use us as their recruitment partner.

Our Clients

Our clients range from seed-stage start-ups to Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies across the UK, US and Europe. They include Am Law 100 and Magic Circle law firms hiring BD directors and innovation leaders, Legal Tech SaaS companies scaling their commercial and engineering teams, and high-growth SaaS businesses building out go-to-market, product, and technology functions.
