Proactive Job Search
Owing to the wide-reaching and high-level relationships Compass Associates have established in the health, social care, and specialist education markets, 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 most cited motivation for considering a change of role, Compass Associates are able to offer you an up-to-date salary benchmarking guide against your peers in industry, as a like-for-like comparison.
Owing to the market coverage of all consultants, factors ranging from home or service size, provider ownership, geographical consideration, direct reports and CQC ratings are the minimum standard for generating a true value, as opposed to relying on ‘number of years’ experience’.
Standard and enhanced benefits of all health, social care and specialist education 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.
