The Cobalt Group places 49th in Recruiter Magazine’s Hot 100

Announced today, The Cobalt Group (featuring Cobalt Recruitment and our renewable energy recruitment specialist arm, Comanos), has once again featured in Recruiter’s prestigious Hot 100 list for our 2024 activity.

The List pulls together the most efficient and profitable recruitment businesses with bases in the UK from any sub-sector, ‘that have continued to demonstrate resilience, leading their respective sub-sectors in both navigating a turbulent hiring environment and maintaining high fee-earner efficiency’ in 2024.

On the placing, CEO of The Cobalt Group, Stephen Shorter, comments: “I’m incredibly proud of our team at The Cobalt Group for achieving this recognition in Recruiter Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2024. This is truly a testament to the dedication, hard work, and passion of our colleagues at Cobalt Recruitment and Comanos who continuously go above and beyond to deliver the best results, even in challenging market conditions. I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our clients and candidates for their ongoing trust and partnership – your belief in us is at the heart of everything we do.”

Optimsm for the Built Environment

On the built environment specifically, the Recruiter commented that “The sector is likely to see a resurgence in hiring activity in 2025 as significant government expenditure acts as a catalyst for growth, driven by pledges to build 1.5m homes over the next five years, ending the de facto ban on onshore wind projects, to develop a taskforce to accelerate stalled housing sites and restore mandatory housing targets.”

We’re delighted to have received recognition in this List and mirror the optimism from the Recruiter in their outlook for the built environment in 2025 and beyond. See the full report here and to see why we regularly rank on these Lists, submit your brief or enquiry here.
