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><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.<h3>Retained recruitment</h3>Our retained model, which includes a minimal upfront engagement fee and has 100% 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.<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.<h3>A recruitment partnership</h3>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.<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Our consultancy services</h2>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.

To Cobalt, DE&amp;I is a journey, not a checkbox.Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&amp;I) at Cobalt is foundational to the way we work, underpinning all elements of our company culture, the way we work with our candidates and clients, how we work with, value and celebrate our colleagues, and beyond.&nbsp;DE&amp;I is a journey and not just a tick box. That&rsquo;s why we are dedicated to hiring and retaining a representative workforce, and continually educating our team on DE&amp;I best practices, which sets the foundations for truly inclusive recruitment.We recognise that in our position as a specialist search, recruitment and HR consultancy, we play a vital role in the DE&amp;I journey across the Real Estate and Construction sectors. We want to promote equity and improve not only the prospects of potential candidates working within these industries but the opportunities for our clients to engage with a relevant and representative talent pool too.Every day, we work with businesses at different stages in their DE&amp;I journey, from initial awareness of the need for greater diversity, real equity and inclusive workplaces, through to the implementation of key pillars of inclusion across both recruitment and internal practices.<h3 style="text-align: left;" align="left">Pillars of Inclusion</h3>DE&amp;I at Cobalt is built upon four key pillars; services to clients, hiring &amp; onboarding, company culture and language.&nbsp;<img src="/static/imglib/EDandI-icons.png" height="291" width="905" alt="" />​<h3 style="text-align: left;">1. Services to Clients</h3>Attrition is the biggest cost to any business, so a focus on DE&amp;I can improve retention and save costs across the board.&nbsp;We know many of our clients face similar challenges when it comes to DE&amp;I, so by sharing our collective successes and challenges, Cobalt can help take your business from intentions to actions.It all starts with a conversation to understand the values of your business &ndash; what is important to you, and how does DE&amp;I fit into that?As part of our commitment to supporting DE&amp;I with our clients all our consultants are trained Inclusive Recruiters, helping to optimise your hiring processes and access broader talent pools while ensuring equity and inclusivity for all candidates we work with, allowing the best possible outcomes for our clients in hiring the best talent.

Hiring and Onboarding</h3>The what, the who, and the how of hiring.&nbsp;We&rsquo;ve left no stone unturned in analysing our processes to optimise them for diversity, equity and inclusion, through the Inclusive Hiring workshop that internal Hiring Managers complete we ensure our recruitment and onboarding is equitable and accessible for all. In these workshops we aim to understand and interrupt biases and create hiring processes that focus on letting candidates best showcase their skillsets.&nbsp;<h3 style="text-align: left;">3. Culture</h3>We want to cultivate a diverse, interesting, and healthy work culture that is driven by our people, for our people.&nbsp;Culture is everything from the way we work with each other, the way we make decisions, how we recognise, reward, and celebrate our successes, and how we communicate. As recruitment specialists, we welcome sharing our own best practices with clients for the betterment of workplace cultures through the Real Estate and Construction sectors.<h3 style="text-align: left;">4. Language</h3>Inclusive language is woven into our policies, training, and day to day communications.&nbsp;This encompasses how we talk about and communicate Cobalt to the world, but also how we talk about our people, our candidates, or clients. 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.Cobalt Conversations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.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.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>​<img src="/static/imglib/image.jpg" height="300" width="905" alt="" />

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

<h2>Cobalt&rsquo;s Climate Commitment</h2>Carbon neutral since 2023/Net Zero by 2030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.To meet this target, we are actively measuring and managing our carbon footprint. Using 2023 as our baseline year, we recorded total emissions of 229.7tCO2e &ndash; approximately 220.2tCO2e of which was arising from Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.<h3>Carbon Reduction Plan </h3>Our Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) focuses on three key areas to minimise our carbon footprint:Sustainable Purchasing: 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.Staff Initiatives:&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.Supplier Engagement: 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.Staff Training &amp; Awareness: 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.&nbsp;A copy of our CRP is available on request to <a href="mailto:info@cobaltrecruitment.com">info@cobaltrecruitment.com</a>

Cobalt Recruitment&rsquo;s Head Office is located in London, with other UK offices located in London and Manchester. It also has offices overseas in Germany and USA.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment is predominately a leading specialist recruitment provider to the Property, Construction &amp; Engineering and Financial Services &amp; Accounting sectors. We recruit professionals from our offices in the UK, Europe, and America for clients ranging from large corporate organisations to niche entrepreneurial entities, as well as into the public sector. business and legal services to other businesses in both telephone, email and face to face consultancy formats. It offers a 24-hour advisory service for which demand is consistent throughout the year.</li></ol>DefinitionsCobalt Recruitment considers that modern slavery encompasses:<ol><li>Human trafficking&ndash; involves transporting, recruiting or harbouring people for the purpose of exploitation, using violence, threats or coercion.</li><li>Debt bondage or bonded labour &ndash; the world&rsquo;s most widespread form of slavery, when people borrow money they cannot repay and are required to work to pay off the debt, then losing control over the conditions of both their employment and the debt.</li><li>Descent-based slavery &ndash; where people are born into slavery because their ancestors were captured and enslaved; they remain in slavery by descent.</li><li>Child slavery &ndash; many people often confuse child slavery with child labour, but it is much worse. Whilst child labour is harmful for children and hinders their education and development, child slavery occurs when a child is exploited for someone else&rsquo;s gain. It can include child trafficking, child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic slavery.</li><li>Forced labour, through mental or physical threat, against their will</li><li>Being owned or controlled by an employer through mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse;</li><li>Being dehumanised, treated as a commodity or being bought or sold as property;</li><li>Being physically constrained or to have restriction placed on freedom of movement.</li><li>Forced and early marriage &ndash; when someone is married against their will and cannot leave the marriage. Most child marriages can be considered slavery.</li></ol>Commitment<ol><li>Cobalt Recruitment acknowledges its responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking within its own businesses and in its supply chains. Cobalt Recruitment understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and its supply chains.</li><li>The labour supplied to Cobalt Recruitment in pursuance of the services it provides is carried out wholly in the countries where those services are provided i.e. United Kingdom, Germany and USA as appropriate.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment has a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. It will refrain from entering into business, and/or will discontinue any current business with any other organisation which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in servitude, slavery, and forced or compulsory labour.</li><li>No labour provided to Cobalt Recruitment in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. Cobalt Recruitment strictly adheres to the minimum standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in the United Kingdom, Germany and USA as appropriate, and in many cases exceeds those minimums in relation to its employees.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment offers employment contracts on a guaranteed hours basis only; no offers of employment are made on a zero hours basis.</li><li>Part-time and fixed-term employees within Cobalt Recruitment are provided with the same pro-rata contractual entitlements as full-time and permanent employees. If these are not offered, Cobalt Recruitment is able to rely on objectively justifiable grounds.</li><li>Group employees are offered a competitive remuneration package and Cobalt Recruitment prides itself on the additional benefits it is able to offer its employees on a wide variety of platforms. It conducts staff surveys on an anonymous basis to give employees a voice on their individual employment, their department and Cobalt Recruitment company as appropriate. Commitment to creating career progression in a supportive environment has been rewarded by being ranked in the top 100 of the Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to Work for in 2015 and 2016.</li></ol>Potential Coverage and Steps<ol><li>Cobalt Recruitment considers its coverage to modern slavery to be limited. Nonetheless, it has taken steps to ensure that such practices do not take place in its business nor the business of any organisation that supplies goods and/or services to it.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment carries out due diligence processes in relation to ensuring slavery and/or human trafficking does not take place in its supply chains.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment has not, to its knowledge, conducted any business with another organisation which has been found to have involved itself with slavery and/or human trafficking.</li><li>Cobalt Recruitment encourages use of its Whistleblowing Policy to report any concerns regarding modern slavery and will investigate any complaints thoroughly.</li><li>To ensure effectiveness in combatting modern slavery, Cobalt Recruitment maintains an accurate supplier list including contact details. It will ensure action is taken in response to reports of modern slavery in its supply chains and any complaints made via the Whistleblowing Policy will be responded to in accordance with the policy.</li><li>Following a review undertaken for Cobalt Recruitment&rsquo;s statement of the previous financial year, Cobalt Recruitment confirms its supplier list is up to date for the current financial year.</li><li>As in the previous financial year, there have been no reports that any of Cobalt Recruitment&rsquo;s suppliers have been involved in activities covered by the Modern Slavery Act.</li></ol>Training<ol><li>Upon commencement of employment, all employees undergo a structured onboarding process. All employees are made aware of Cobalt Recruitment policies relating to standards of behaviour that it requires from them. Cobalt Recruitment also provides training on awareness of modern slavery to those within Cobalt Recruitment who have been identified as having responsibilities in this regard, namely those involved in finance and procurement. Cobalt Recruitment ensures that annual update training is provided.</li></ol>PolicyA Whistleblowing Policy is in place which encourages the reporting of any wrongdoing which is in the public interest.Data Protection and Compliance OfficerCobalt Recruitment has a Group Data Protection &amp; Compliance Officer, to whom all concerns regarding modern slavery should be addressed.
