Our philosophy is simple: build recruitment solutions that meet our clients&rsquo; needs.Solutions tailored to your specific requirements, with flexibility in mind. We support you to hire and retain the best talent, and scale up or down when you need us to. We build strong partnerships to act as an extension of our clients&rsquo; businesses, creating seamless, inclusive processes across the recruitment cycle.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;<h2>How we can recruit for you</h2>&nbsp;<h3>Exclusive recruitment</h3>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 method has an incredibly high success rate and comes at a low cost that is only paid on the successful placement of the right candidate with you.&nbsp;<h3>Retained recruitment</h3>Our retained model, which includes a minimal upfront engagement fee and has an incredibly high fill rate, allows us to think outside the box for you. Working with you to identify the most suitable candidates for your positions, this includes direct and discrete approaches to these high-potential candidates. This more consultative approach provides a market overview and enhances the diversity of your candidate pool.&nbsp;<h3>Contingent recruitment</h3>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.&nbsp;<h3>A recruitment partnership</h3>Through a Partnership agreement, we can create a customised package that suits your requirements.

If you have any queries about working as an Interim, please ask your consultant. We can advise on the differences between each method but please note we are not qualified to provide personal financial advice.We are providing general Key Information Documents based on a pay rate of &pound;100 per day for Umbrella and PSCs and &pound;77.97 for PAYE as this provides a like-for-like comparison allowing for Cobalt paying the employer&rsquo;s National Insurance on the PAYE method. This is just an example pay rate and may not be the rate you offered for any role through Cobalt. The Tax and NI rates shown in the worked examples are based on a standard Tax code and NI class; what you will actually pay depends on your own personal circumstances.Once an assignment is confirmed with you, we or the Umbrella company (if you select that method) will provide you with a specific Key Information Document for the pay method you have selected at the agreed pay rate.&nbsp;<h2>Engaged on a PAYE Basis</h2>Key Information Document - PAYE | <a href="https://www.cobaltrecruitment.co.uk/static/download_files/Key-Information-Docs/PAYE-April-2025-update.pdf" title="Download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download</a><h2> ​Engaged on PAYE Umbrella Basis</h2>These are the Umbrella Companies Cobalt currently engages with.
