What our clients say
“Compass Carter Osborne really delivered for us in our search for a new CEO for Outcomes First Group. It was a vitally important assignment given that we were recruiting a successor for a long standing and highly successful CEO in a sector-leading business. Compass Carter Osborne went above and beyond in developing a deep understanding of the business and our requirements, and in only presenting candidates that closely met these. They think very creatively and their focus was very sharp; they particularly understood the culture of the business. The search was speedy and well organised, with a very high standard of verbal and written feedback. They have a granular knowledge of the sector and because of the way in which they work, we were fully involved throughout and achieved a great result. A really excellent search – thank you.”
Outcomes First Group – Chair
“Compass Carter Osborne started from the very beginning with a detailed, professional explanation of the available position. They spent time to present the great opportunity and chance to accelerate my career but at the same time, the challenge, and the strong expectation from their client.”
Hengrui Therapeutics – VP, Head Biological Drug Discovery
“Compass Carter Osborne delivered on a key appointment for the PFA and the wider football industry. It was a complex brief involving creating an entirely new position. The role was vitally important, with the successful candidate taking on a sensitive and multifaceted responsibility across CTE, concussion and brain health in professional football. CCO led a comprehensive and exhaustive process, developing a deep understanding of the union’s requirements and using his expert knowledge to help scope and evolve the brief throughout the search. The entire process was professional, efficient and well organised, with consistent communication and feedback at every stage.”
The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) – Chief Executive Officer
“I have been so impressed by Luke’s integrity, clear purpose and drive to achieve for his clients. Luke has worked with Priory on a number of things but more recently to source two independent Non Executive Directors and a Director of Talent Acquisition. He has kept us informed, fielded some great candidates and follows up at each stage, even when they have started. I would really recommend him if you are searching for high calibre individuals.”
Priory Group – Chief Executive Officer
“I recently had the pleasure of being appointed to an independent healthcare provider as a NED after being put forward for the role by Luke. Throughout the whole recruitment process I was treated with respect and felt valued. I was particularly impressed with the follow up support after the decision to appoint me, which I have never experienced from other search companies. Luke continued to check in with me to ensure my onboarding went smoothly and that I had settled into the role. Overall, a highly professional and comprehensive approach delivered personally by Luke.”
Priory – Independent Non-Executive Director
“Luke was absolutely brilliant along the journey. He acted as a real partner and was able to answer to all my questions in order to get comfortable with the decision of making the change. His expertise and knowledge of the sector really came out along the process. Most importantly, he was always available when I needed him to be, which is something I valued a lot. In summary, I couldn’t recommend him and Compass Carter Osborne enough.”
AniCura – Group Chief Operating Officer
“We worked with Compass Carter Osborne in the search for our Chief Financial Officer and from the start it was clear they were a good choice of partner. A focus on understanding our needs as a business, and mine personally as a CEO were front of mind for Paul and Kieran. They took the time to listen, understand and not only focus on the functional aspects of the role – but critically, the team fit and culture we are building.
Process, structure and follow-through were like clockwork, and the quality of candidates were of a consistently high-level. I would highly recommend Compass Carter Osborne.”
Renaiss Health – Chief Executive Officer
“I’ve known Tarquin for over 15 years, during which time he has delivered a number of executive assignments at senior level, including COO/executive team and senior management roles in scientific/professional disciplines (his network in the biotech/life-sciences sector is second-to-none!). He works hard to truly understand both the candidate brief and the culture of the company, sets realistic expectations and retains regular contact as an assignment progresses, always providing thorough updates and pragmatic advice. He has the highest levels of professionalism and integrity – he really is a pleasure to work with.”
One Nucleus – Director
“Jamie did a great job – he really took the time to understand our business, our needs and what we were looking for. We knew our brief was specific, yet Jamie met all our expectations with the search. He maintained a high standard of communication and meticulous attention to detail throughout the process. I would recommend Jamie and the Compass Carter Osborne team without hesitation.”
Melrose Education – Chair & CEO
“Our recent work with Compass Carter Osborne was exceptional. The search was perfectly organised, response times were swift, and due to the consultant market knowledge and network, we quickly found our ideal candidate.”
Schoen Clinic – Member of Group Executive
