How we work
Our recruitment process
When you work with us on specialist recruitment, we aim to ensure a transparent, efficient process, which is reassuring for both the company and the candidate. On this page, you will find an overview of the key stages in a typical recruitment process, giving you a quick sense of how we work.
Specialist roles require a balanced approach: the right professional experience must match both the position and the culture. Our process is well-tested, flexible, and tailored to each company.
From need to hire – this is how we work
Recruiting a specialist is often a strategic decision that begins long before the first candidates are identified. It starts with a need within the organization — a responsibility to be taken on, a role that needs to evolve, or a capability to be strengthened.
Regardless of the reason, it is essential that the process feels safe, structured and manageable from the very beginning.
Our approach is therefore focused on creating clarity and aligning expectations, so you as a company know exactly what will happen and what to expect on the path toward the right hire.
We work closely with you to understand the context and the environment the role will be part of. This provides a strong foundation for the rest of the process and ensures that our efforts are directed toward what truly creates value.
From the moment the need arises, we will prioritize:
-
Transparency about what happens when
-
Ongoing dialogue, ensuring you are always up to date
-
Consistence between the role, the team and expectations
-
Balance between professional requirements and personal motivation
-
A respectful and professional approach to all candidates involved
In this way, the journey from need to hire becomes a process that creates clarity rather than uncertainty. It also assures a collaboration where you feel supported every step of the way until the right candidate is in place.
If you want to explore our approach in even more depth and see how we work with executive search, you can read more here.
1. Job analysis
We begin with a meeting with you and HR. We jointly clarify the role, the required profile, and expectations. Based on this, we develop a job description and an advertising plan that reflect the role and the match we are seeking.
2. Identification and approach
We combine active advertising with search across our network and relevant databases. We approach potential candidates directly to ensure professional relevance and genuine motivation.
3. Interviews and shortlist
Compass interviews relevant candidates and evaluates them based on both competencies and personality. You receive a shortlist of 2–4 candidates who match both the role and your organization.
4. Presentation and evaluation
We coordinate interviews between you and the candidates. You receive all relevant information in a professional presentation package, enabling you to easily compare and evaluate the candidates.
5. Assessment and references
Selected candidates complete personality and cognitive ability assessments. We collect references and provide a consolidated evaluation that strengthens the decision-making basis.
6. Final interviews
You meet the most suitable candidates for final interviews together with the relevant decision-makers. Compass coordinates the process and adapts the scheduling to your needs.
7. Contract, evaluation and follow-up
We support the contract process and ensure a smooth transition. After the hire, we follow up at 1, 3, and 6 months and gather feedback for continuous improvement.
Executive Search at Compass
Recruitment with a focus on people and expertise
Finding the right specialist involves more than professional qualifications alone. It is equally about chemistry, culture, and ambition.
The difference between specialist recruitment and Executive Search:
While Executive Search is typically conducted as a discreet and highly targeted headhunting process for leadership roles, specialist recruitment combines search with open advertising. Here we are focusing on efficiency and accessibility in the market.
At Compass, we ensure that you secure a specialist who fits your organization and is able to deliver from day one.
