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.
