Compliance on the Road

As part of our on-going commitment to providing high-standard compliance, most of our candidates will require a meeting with one of our compliance officers. This is an opportunity not only to go over the necessary documents and checks but also it gives us a chance to meet you in person and get to know you a little better. Don’t worry though, you won’t be expected to travel out of your way for your meeting; Total Assist will work around you…

We give you the choice of not only the time and date of your interview but also the location. Our team of field-based compliance officers are out on the road to meet you at your convenience at home, at work or even at one of our offices if you prefer.
