Jose Carlos Marinho Pinto – Charge Nurse

Following my recent successful job appointment, facilitated by Chris Burgess at Compass Associates, I would not hesitate in recommending him for his professionalism and dedication to his client. Having matched my CV to the role, he then took the time to get to know my professional aspirations whilst continuing regular communications between all parties, ironing out the any queries as he did so. This ensured complete clarity and understanding of the role being advertised and lessened any doubt I had about applying. Once my application reached interview phase, Chris’ communications remained timely, encouraging and considerate, which continued throughout all subsequent stages until I was offered the role and ultimately started at the company.

Kerry Gunn – Regional Nurse Manager

I dealt with Chris Burgess all the way through the process. He was informative throughout and kept me up to date with everything that was going on especially due to current climate. He contacted me every week to check that everything was going ahead and kept me informed if there were any issues that required my attention. All in all, Chris made my application and successful interview seamless and I am thankful to him.

Tracey Barron – Practice Paramedic

Having spent over a decade within the healthcare industry, I have come across an abundance of recruiters who I have worked closely with. Compass Associates is one of those which provides a more tailored approach to supporting hospitals with roles that need filling as opposed to filling roles for the sake of it.

I have worked with Compass Associates both as a client and as a candidate and can only say that with their support in recruitment, we have been able to excel as a clinical facility.
