Part of the Compass house
of brands

The standalone executive search and advisory services function within the Compass Recruitment Solutions house of brands, CCO is able to draw upon the grass-roots knowledge of sister contingent brands dedicated entirely to the investor backed healthcare and life sciences markets to identify emerging leaders who operate under the radar of many less specialist search firm competitors.
