Methodology

How we measure


This page explains the figures Opus publishes and what they refer to. These are company-reported claims. The underlying records, reporting periods, and aggregate calculations are not published here.

How does Opus measure hiring performance?

Opus publishes company-reported figures for retention, companies served, hiring speed and candidate profiles. This page explains what those figures refer to; it does not publish the underlying records, reporting periods or aggregate calculations. A profile in the database is not proof that a person is screened or available. A customer story describes one client's experience, not a company-wide result. Process counts also need to be read literally: eight vetting layers count screening gates, and six AI certification modules describe the internal course. Neither count establishes a pass rate. To evaluate a result, ask for its date range, the population counted and the calculation behind it.

97% one-year retention

97%

Opus reports that 97% of placements remain with the same company after one year. The eligible placement count, retained count, reporting period and exclusions are not published here. It should not be read as a verified cohort result.

325+ companies

325+

Opus reports that more than 325 companies have hired through the service. This is the published company count, rather than a count of placements. The counting period and supporting customer list are not published here.

637,000 candidate profiles

637,000

Opus reports a database of 637,000 candidate profiles. Recruiters screen candidates for each opening before presenting them to the client. The database count does not establish that every profile is already screened, senior, or available.

3 vetted candidates in 5 days

3 in 5

Opus promises 3 vetted candidates in 5 days. Clients receive candidate profiles, scorecards, and references for their hiring decision.

About 14 days from brief to hired

14 days

Opus reports an average of about 14 days from brief received to hired. Confirm the proposed first day worked separately. The sample size, reporting period and calculation are not published here. Confirm the proposed start date during your search.

8-layer vetting

8 layers

The eight layers are skills, English fluency, communication, accent clarity, references, role fit, culture fit, and drive. Every candidate clears all eight on every search before placement. The number counts distinct screening gates, not interviews or reviewers.

Screening pass rate

Not published

A screening pass rate needs a defined candidate pool, period, and count of candidates who completed all required stages. This page does not publish a verified pass-rate calculation. The eight-layer process describes the screening steps, without establishing what share of applicants passes.

6-module AI certification

6 modules

This counts the six modules in Opus's internal AI certification, which every placement completes before joining a client team. The program covers prompt engineering, tool fluency across ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor, and AI-assisted work. The six-module figure describes the course structure, not a score or completion time.

What a customer story can show

A customer story shows what happened on one team. The Landry Mechanical case study describes the roles filled and how the first hire took over an evening shift. The other client accounts describe their own hiring and operating results. Those examples do not establish the company-wide retention rate, average onboarding time or counts above.
