Easy for freelancers
Setting up with Compass is zero hassle for freelancers. Just a 10 minute call when it suits them and the rest can be done by via our simple online portal. Freelancers can take Compass umbrella to any temporary assignments, meaning no need to repeat the ID checks or supply of personal and banking information.

“It’s been a breath of fresh air to work with Drey and his team at Compass. I feel like I receive unbiased and honest advice, levels of flexibility other umbrella companies have not offered whilst offering a highly efficient service at competitive margins.”

Specialists
Understanding how the advertising industry works has been key to the success of Compass and we have approved supplier status with many of the major players; creative agencies and their recruiters.
The smart choice
Many umbrellas deduct a margin for each assignment, with Compass there is always only one small deduction per week, even if there are multiple assignments. Unlike many umbrellas, we don’t charge set-up or exit fees.
