We build strong partnerships to act as an extension of our clients&rsquo; businesses, creating seamless, inclusive processes across the recruitment cycle.</p><p>Whether this has been for a one-off recruitment need for that critical, immediate hire, or in the development of a wider employee attraction program for multiple permanent or interim hires, we can support your wide range of recruitment needs to help you get to your goals faster.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>How we can recruit for you</strong></h2><h3><strong>Exclusive recruitment</strong></h3><p>Our most popular way of working with the sectors. Our exclusivity model allows us to source candidates from a wide talent pool &ndash; including a dedicated, deep search for those passive candidates not actively looking for a new role at the time.

This more consultative approach provides a market overview and enhances the diversity of your candidate pool.</p><h3><strong>Contingent recruitment</strong></h3><p>Our contingent approach supports you when you need it most, when you have a vacancy to fill now. This method can be deployed quickly, and you will only pay if we are successful in placing the right candidate with you.</p><h3><strong>A recruitment partnership</strong></h3><p>Through a Partnership agreement, we can create a customised package that suits your requirements. This model allows us to work as a true partner with your organisation when you have multiple vacancies, whether they&rsquo;re across your whole business, a single department, or various locations. This is a cost-effective recruitment method that includes everything above plus more. Your dedicated specialist Cobalt team will not only find the best possible candidates for your vacancies but also partner with you throughout the full recruitment lifecycle with our offering of consultative services below.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><strong>Our consultancy services</strong></h2><p>Our 23+ years of working with the sectors has given us real insight into what clients want to know when they&rsquo;re trying to attract employees, and what candidates want to see.

We have also held a&nbsp;Cobalt Conversations event about the importance of inclusive language&nbsp;to discuss and share best practice amongst our clients.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Cobalt Conversations</p><p class="Paragraph SCXW128507771 BCX0" style="text-align: left;" align="left">Cobalt Conversations is our series of panel events focused on diversity, equity and inclusion where we bring together clients with similar goals, but perhaps at different points in their DE&amp;I journey, to hear from experts from the industry and beyond discussing their expertise, challenges and successes, with the aim of providing our clients with actions and solutions to apply in their own organisations.</p><p class="Paragraph SCXW128507771 BCX0" style="text-align: left;" align="left">Previous events have included how we can foster inclusivity at work, how language impacts belonging and diversity initiatives, and the importance of incorporating inclusive recruitment into an organisation&rsquo;s DE&amp;I strategy.</p><p class="Paragraph SCXW128507771 BCX0" style="text-align: left;" align="left">We are always interested to explore opportunities to collaborate with like-minded people to bring these conversations to the real estate and construction industries. Whether you are a DE&amp;I advisor/practitioner, or a real estate or construction company that want to explore the potential to work together or attend our next event, then please&nbsp;<a class="Hyperlink SCXW128507771 BCX0" href="mailto:mbond@cobaltrecruitment.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get in touch with our Head of Inclusion, Megan Bond.</a></p><p style="text-align: left;" align="left">​<img src="/static/imglib/image.jpg" height="300" width="905" alt="" /></p>

Cobalt’s Climate Commitment, carbon reduction plan and more at at the forefront of our environmental credentials.

<h2><strong>Cobalt&rsquo;s Climate Commitment</strong></h2><p><em>Carbon neutral since 2023/Net Zero by 2030</em></p><p>Cobalt Consulting (UK) is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2030, aligning with the Mayor of London's ambitious climate goals. We recognise the urgency of addressing the climate emergency and have set an accelerated timeline to minimise our impact.</p><p>To meet this target, we are actively measuring and managing our carbon footprint. Using 2023 as our baseline year, we recorded total emissions of 229.7tCO2<em>e</em> &ndash; approximately 220.2tCO2<em>e</em> of which was arising from Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>We measure our carbon footprint annually in March for the proceeding year, so our 2024 figures will be available in Q2 2025. From this, we can offset carbon emissions and help our clients and candidates understand what impact they have by using our services.</p><h3><strong>Carbon Reduction Plan </strong></h3><p>Our Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) focuses on three key areas to minimise our carbon footprint:</p><p><strong>Sustainable Purchasing: </strong>As an office-based service provider, our emissions primarily stem from purchased goods and services, staff commuting, and business travel, rather than the production or transportation of physical goods. We have implemented a sustainable purchasing policy to prioritise environmentally responsible goods and services.</p><p><strong>Staff Initiatives:</strong>&nbsp;Staff events, including socials and parties, significantly contribute to our emissions due to transportation, accommodation, and consumption of food and beverages. To address this, we have adopted a policy that emphasises selecting event suppliers with strong sustainability credentials.</p><p><strong>Supplier Engagement: </strong>A significant portion of our emissions is tied to spending with major suppliers. We are actively collaborating with them to understand their environmental impact and identify opportunities for reduction.</p><p><strong>Staff Training &amp; Awareness: </strong>To further embed our net zero goals into the company culture, we have engaged our staff with training programs and awareness campaigns. This includes learning sessions that focus on the importance of sustainability and provide practical advice on reducing carbon footprints both at work and at home. We have also integrated sustainability modules into our onboarding process to ensure that new hires understand our environmental commitments from day one.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>A copy of our CRP is available on request to <a href="mailto:info@cobaltrecruitment.com">info@cobaltrecruitment.com</a></p>
