The Collective
When we started RecOps Collective, we knew our community needed more than one voice or opinion.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single place for RecOps professionals to go to find guides/frameworks, thought pieces, and humor specific to our space.
SO WE CREATED ONE
This space is for RecOps to share those ideas and also see their work up in a public space.
If you want to submit an article, don't hesitate to contact hello@recopscollective.com for guidelines and submission.

Choosing the Right RecOps Stack
Building the right tech stack in RecOps can be hard. Our co-founder Jeremy and Joe Atkinson from PURPL sat down to chat about how to build the right RecOps stack.
Questions RecOps Folks Should Ask During Their ATS Scoping
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is one of the most important tools to a recruiting team, and RecOps professionals are often tasked with maintaining for finding new ones. Who better to give advice on the right questions to ask when you are evaluating a new ATS than someone who has to sell it?
