Compass Associates partners with a growing Pharmacy at branch and corporate level to scale business

Compass Associates tendered for an exclusive contract with Pharmacy+Health to work recruit across all levels of staffing, both within branches and at a corporate level. This has involved supporting from a ground-up level, due to the internal process /on-boarding being only in it’s initial stages of creation when the partnership was made.

With 15+ facilities across seven states, these facilities are staffed by a team of trained and experienced Nurses, Therapists, Psychologists and Psychiatrists, complemented by dedicated operational teams. Offering over 1950+ beds across their facilities.

The client has extensive growth plans to expand its offering within the states it already operates in, and to venture into further states over the next five years, with a ten-year plan for the President and CEO to retire.

This also includes expanding their headcount. Due to a recent resignation, the provider was looking to replace their Chief Operating Officer to focus on their business objectives and be a long-term replacement for the

President and CEO. After successfully completing several Director and Leadership assignments for this provider, Compass Associates was exclusively approached to mandate this assignment.

Key process elements following the brief:

• Successfully sourced suitable candidates to be presented for interview stage by ensuring they had the required experience to support future business expansion and headcount plans
• Regular communication between both clients and candidates to ensure fulfilling the brief
• Continue building strong relationships with the internal leadership and talent acquisition teams

Compass Associates completed this two-stage process in a timescale of less than four weeks: more than 58 candidates formed the original long list, before 14 candidates were submitted to the short list. The client interviewed 11 for the first stage of the process, before 4 were invited back to final stage, before one identified candidate was offered and accepted first time.
