Proactive Job Search

Owing to the wide-reaching and high-level relationships Compass Associates have established in the senior care and behavioral health, candidates can be reassured that their dedicated consultant will proactively approach their job search, rather than relying solely on inbound jobs that might be available at a specific time.

Following a thorough consultation, consultants then approach appropriate decision-makers in accordance with your personal expectations, dramatically increasing the number of prospective opportunities – particularly where geographic remit is a crucial factor.

Remuneration Benchmarking

Often the key driver for considering a change of role, Compass Associates is able to offer you an up-to-date salary benchmarking guide against your industry peers, as a like-for-like comparison. The team can go into detail about drivers and considerations dictating how much your salary is reflective of what the market is paying at a comparable business.

Standard and enhanced benefits of all senior care and behavioral health providers are understood owing to the high level of consultant market knowledge, offering reassurance you are in safe hands.

Current Live Vacancies

Compass Associates’ market reputation and quality of relationships with clients means that a high proportion of all jobs able to be advertised at any point are being recruited for on an exclusive basis. This ensures that as a candidate, you will not be contacted by multiple agencies about the same role and can be reassured that the positions you are being submitted for will result in swift feedback.

The various team’s size means consultants are aligned geographically to ensure full market coverage, which ensures the point of contact you have will almost certainly be the most appropriate individual to be able to secure you a role in the area you have indicated is your preferred location.

Discreet Services

Discretion is a fundamental component to all services offered by Compass Associates – and there are often instances where confidentiality is vital owing to the sensitive nature of the hire.

As a result, clients can be offered a number of options, including: a full confidential search where sensitive information can be shared with candidates upon the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), in order to offer full reassurance that private information will not become public knowledge. Private searches can also be run where client names or details are not shared until such a moment which the client is happy with.

Volume Campaigns

Post-M&A activity, VC-backing, Private Equity investment or scaling for growth can lead to instances where volume hires across multiple disciplines are critical to the success of an organisation’s expansion.

Compass Associates have a demonstrable track record where the divisions have supported high-volume projects or campaigns to position business for sale or to be Listed; support FTE headcount reduction to bring costs down; as well as team mobilisations of builds.
