At the end of each financial year, Compass presents our internal Core Value Awards. Nominations for these awards are open to all employees within all CRS brands. This year, five out of the seven Core Values Award categories were won by people within the Compass Associates teams for their contributions to each of their respective divisions over the past year.

2022 has seen us able to present these awards at the CRS End of Year conference after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

What are the Compass Core Value Awards?

The Core Value Awards are based on our brand values and are presented to employees of all Compass brands, based on nominations from employees and recognition for their overall performance. The  Senior Leadership Team then meet to determine the winners of our Core Values Awards.

Professional Development category WINNER: Jon Mondey

CRS’ Head of HR, Cassie Pay presented this award on behalf of Compass. Managing Consultant, Jon Mondey works within the Compass Associates’ General Health Division, and the following summarises why Jon was chosen by the Compass Senior Management Team:

“Jon has successfully built a radiography desk from scratch this year, taking it on himself to create and implement a complex qualification process, understand in-depth the difference between the market to our other clinical disciplines in general health and create a desk that was replicated by our Manchester Division. His billing in a new desk has been exceptional. This has been recognised with his recent promotion to Managing Consultant in January, Jon has now taken on training responsibility for new consultants within his sub-team and is on the path to becoming a manager within the business.”

Delivery of Service category WINNER: Lily Bulbeck

One of our founding directors and business co-owner, Mike Jeffreys presented the Delivery of Service Award on behalf of Compass. Principal Consultant, Lily Bulbeck was selected as the winner of this category for the following reasons summarised below:

“Lily’s performance has been nothing short of excellent this year! She has gone from strength to strength achieving 3 strong consecutive quarters on her way to breaking the care home record! However, it’s not all about the numbers as Lily delivers one of the best candidate journeys within the business, setting a great example to colleagues old and new. Additionally, her attention to detail and market knowledge means she takes highly detailed briefs ensuring she is in the best position to deliver a great service, which is fundamental to why Lily has done well this year in only her second full year in recruitment.”

Professionalism & Integrity category WINNER: Christian Hannam

The Professionalism & Integrity Award was presented by Compass Associates’ Associate Director, Carl Dutton. The winner of this category was awarded to Managing Consultant, Christian Hannam. The Compass senior management team summarised the below on why Christian was chosen:

Christian is fully immersed in his market and can guide clients on their roles to ensure he delivers successfully resulting in plenty of repeat business.”

Entrepreneurial Spirit category WINNER: Lynette Robb

Compass Associates Associate Director and CCS Managing Director, Adam Brenton presented the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award to the winner. This year, Principal Consultant, Lynette Robb was chosen as the successful nominee to receive this category award:
