The Details
Our heritage and global presence
Cobalt Recruitment is where The Cobalt Group, our network of specialist real estate and renewables recruitment businesses worldwide, began. As our flagship business, Cobalt has continued to specialise and further develop its reputation across these same core sectors that we originally started within, partnering with local clients across the world to become the trusted partner of choice within the UK, Germany, and the US.
And we’ve won a lot of awards on the way - being recognised for our recruitment services by APSCo (the Association Of Professional Staffing Companies), making it into the Times Top 100 companies repeatedly over the past a decade, and proudly being named an ‘Outstanding’ workplace in recent Best Companies’ awards.
What we can offer the sector
A team of specialist, experienced recruitment, executive search and HR advisors, capable of recruitment for those necessary, quick-to-fill roles, through to full-scale partnerships as part of your talent acquisition team. We offer bespoke salary guides, market mapping exercises, consultation around your employee attraction and retention (EVP), interview and onboarding processes, and much, much more. We have the largest database of built environment professionals worldwide – and beyond that, we partner with market-leading job boards and use the most innovative technologies to find only the best in the business, so you only get the best for your business.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
DE&I done right unlocks real business value. By embracing diversity, you can access a broader talent pool, improving the calibre of employee you can attract and retain. Our consultants are trained in inclusive hiring processes, and we deliver a unique annual diversity report across our industries. Through our ‘Cobalt Conversations’ events, we drive DE&I initiatives that create lasting impact for clients and candidates. Discover how we can help your business thrive with DE&I solutions that deliver results.
Our commitments beyond recruitment
Like so many of the organisations we work with and represent, we care about our communities. We participate in a reverse mentoring scheme run by Real Estate Balance to nurture the next generation of real estate leaders, we give to industry-specific programmes like LandAid, and we run interview workshops and CV clinics at local schools. We’ve also made industry-first environmental commitments, to help create a greener real estate, property and construction industry.
