“With a whirlwind of changes upending talent acquisition, recruiting leaders need a strategic framework and fresh thinking to drive results. The principles shared in this book can provide both. I’ve seen RecOps work first-hand in our organization and believe it can be the blueprint for improving talent acquisition processes for any HR or recruiting leader who wants to deliver high-quality results.

James Colino, Head of Talent Acquisition at Sheetz Inc, Founder of The RecOps Academy & Author of “RecOps”
Hi! I’m James Colino, author of RecOps, Founder of the RecOps Academy and the Head of Talent Acquisition for a really cool company called Sheetz! I’ve been a recruiter and talent acquisition leader for over two decades. I don’t know everything, but I do know that running a recruiting function has never been more difficult. And it’s not getting any easier!
Recruiting leaders are challenged every day to streamline processes, deploy new technologies, and leverage data in more ways than ever before. Without a system and a plan to manage it all, these pressures result in broken hiring practices and a failure to meet recruiting goals. Not to mention frustration and burnout for talent acquisition leaders.
Fortunately, talent acquisition teams can take control of their function and drive transformation through a continuous improvement practice that is just beginning to take shape in some of the most progressive organizations around the world.
This practice is called RecOps.
In this book, I’ll provide a detailed overview of what RecOps is and guide you through the steps of how to build a RecOps practice inside your organization. You’ll learn the skills necessary to do RecOps and discover the importance of mission, vision and strategy in setting the stage for transforming any part of your recruiting function.
With RecOps, you’ll identify what’s broken in your hiring process and fix it using proven techniques. The end result? Better talent…faster…at a lower cost…with a better experience. Who doesn’t want that?

As the VP of Talent Acquisition for multiple healthcare companies, I often called James for guidance on my most difficult challenges. He always guided me back to the practice of RecOps, and now I know why. This book pulled together the problems we all face in recruitment and how to fix them in a more systematic way. Every recruiting leader needs this book!
