Testimonials

I really appreciated all the effort Luke from Compass Associates did for facilitating every stage of the interview process. I cannot thank him enough for being so responsive, engaging and supportive. I found my recruitment experience with Luke flawless and I would highly recommend him.

Raheemat Alabi - Specialist Eating Disorder Nurse

I just wanted to share my experience with Luke Shaw.

I was moving from the North of England to the south of England when I received a message on Indeed by Luke. He was recruiting people for a residential youth clinic and had come across my CV. He had a great understanding of my situation and worked around my schedule to secure an interview for me for when I moved down south. Every week, Luke touched base with me to make sure I knew the whole process of the recruitment process, and what was happening next and answered any questions I had in mind.

I appreciate everything Luke has done for me. I wish you all the luck for your future, Luke!

Jamie Mcnulty - Mental Health Coach

Luke was very helpful. He was very communicative and knowledgeable about the role and was able to answer my questions and follow up those he didn’t have the answers. He updated me on a weekly basis. At the beginning I was unsure that I was qualified for the role, but Luke gave me the information and encouragement to go for it and I ended up getting the job.I would highly recommend Luke.

It has been a pleasure working with Luke from Compass Associates over the past few weeks and I have found him to be a patient, reliable and courteous individual who always had my best interest at heart.
