Founded in 2003, Consult is a global recruitment consultancy delivering permanent, contract and locum recruitment solutions across healthcare, medical, scientific and allied industries. The business is known for supporting high-growth and scaling organisations, placing specialist commercial, operational and technical professionals across dental, optical, animal health, medical aesthetics, audiology, and scientific and engineering sectors.
Joining under the Compass umbrella in 2025 builds on a journey that began in 2003, when founder Michelle Lally launched Consult with an initial focus on the dental sector. Michelle’s leadership has remained at the heart of Consult’s growth, building a culture rooted in relationships, integrity and long-term partnerships as the business expanded into wider sectors. As part of the Compass team, this ethos is now supported by wider infrastructure and shared expertise, enabling Consult to better support high-growth organisations, from innovative startups to established blue-chip companies, while maintaining the personal, specialist approach that defines the business.
Through Compass, Consult continues to expand its reach, capability and impact across global healthcare & scientific markets.

The business is proud of its team of 25 driven professionals, all united by a commitment to delivering exceptional service. Strong relationships are built with clients based on trust, reliability and consistently high standards of execution.
“I joined Consult as a Recruitment Resourcer with no prior experience in recruitment at all. Since joining I have been promoted twice and have worked my way up to Senior Recruitment Consultant, with a core focus on the international Med Tech industry.
You are encouraged to be creative, use your initiative and work autonomously which allows you to progress your career in the direction you wish. There is no micromanagement but an incredibly supportive team if you need any guidance. You are definitely rewarded for your efforts and are offered brilliant progression opportunities.”
