Compass Executives: CoVid-19 statement.

Here at Compass Executives we have acted immediately. We are committed to ensuring our clients and candidates feel supported during this ever-evolving period, whilst ensuring the safety of our staff and partners.

We understand that our valued clients will incur a period of strain and apprehension: the fundamentals remain that providers will still need staff more than ever to carry out their critical jobs in the most testing of times.

Our aim is to take steps to ensure we balance the health of our workforce, mitigate the risk, as well as balance the fact that we have a job to do and a healthcare industry to service.

After several conversations with health and social care leaders, industry bodies and legal representatives, we are determined to provide a safe solution so that interviewing, screening and ultimately the hiring of staff can still take place in a timely manner.

Please consider the below as a starting-point, and we very much welcome feedback from all parties to ensure we are on the front foot:
