Neha Chouhan - Clinical Head of Department for Cardiac Surgery

I am really pleased with the whole application process. Benedict Warnes delivered very well. He was very polite and a good listener. He carefully took my details and job preferences – nature of work, commute, even health issues with care of finding me the perfect job role. I never felt chased or pressured, like I have with other recruiters. He'd set appointments to make phone calls, replies on time, informed me if he is going on annual leave (something he is not obliged to do but took care and I found it very professional). With that, I was never left wondering about updates or the next steps. I found the interview preparation guides were concise and on point. He informed me about real timetables and expectations. There was no sugar-coating or unwarranted sales talk. There was no promises but he definitely delivered a good outcome. He helped me get a good offer, I will definitely recommend Compass Associates! A million thanks!
