Commercial & Private Sector
We support UK commercial organisations building and scaling technology teams. Our work spans product-led businesses, national brands and consultancy delivery, across permanent and contract hiring in core technology roles.
Retail & Digital Transformation Programme
We were engaged via a software engineering consultancy to build a new scrum team for a large UK retail organisation as part of a wider digital transformation programme.
The initial delivery combined permanent and contract hires across backend and frontend engineering, including senior and principal Java and React specialists.
Time to hire ranged from 5 to 30 days, depending on seniority.
Following the successful delivery of the initial team, we were retained to support further permanent and contract hiring across additional workstreams.
Travel & Aviation Growth Programme
RecOps partnered with a national travel organisation to scale their Software Engineering and Data teams during a period of sustained growth.’
The objective was clear: increase hiring pace while reducing the number of interviews required per hire, protecting internal engineering productivity across the estate.
We delivered hires across Lead Engineering, Data Science, Senior C# Development, Programme Management and Automation Testing, providing tightly managed shortlists and efficient processes.
Time to hire ranged between 6 and 30 days, with interview volumes carefully controlled to maintain delivery momentum.
Following the initial engagement, RecOps continued to support additional hiring across engineering and data.
Acquisition-Led Technology Scale-Up
RecOps partnered with a UK technology business during a period of acquisition-led growth, supporting the integration and expansion of their engineering function following a major acquisition.
The brief focused on rapidly scaling capability ahead of a wider operational merge, with delivery required across core software, support and data functions within a defined six-month window.
We delivered multiple C# Developers alongside Automation Testing, Application Support, PHP Development and BI capability, ensuring continuity across both legacy and newly acquired systems.
Hiring targets were met within the agreed timeframe, supporting a smooth transition into the next phase of growth.
