“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. They patiently listened to my introduction and clearly identified and commented on important points for his client, my personal development and further presentation to my current company Hengrui. In the end, it was more like a joint project than a recruitment process. The chance to be part of the Hengrui scientific and therapeutic development and expansion in Europe for future therapies development for the benefit of both the patients and the company represents for me not only a challenge and pleasure but also an honour. The professionalism I received during the recruitment process thanks to Compass Carter Osborne was warm and friendly, and I can recommend them without hesitation.”

“We held a competitive process and took proposals from 6 firms so that we had a strong cross-section of single-handed head-hunters and larger corporate executive search companies. I had worked with CCPO before so I could have just given the assignment to them but I wanted to see how the team would benchmark against some of the largest players. From the outset the attention to detail was remarkable. In addition to the work they were doing on the brief, I also had a call to check in and make sure that I had all I needed. The approach was forensic and meticulous without being over the top. The pitch was spot on and CCO were the clear choice. They had taken the time to understand our business needs and had done their homework on the organisation over and above the brief. I demonstrated that they had really listened. We are quite a cost constrained organisation and Compass Carter Osborne were not the lowest price in the companies that we looked at but given what they offered, represented excellent value. A true partner.”
