Our philosophy is simple: build recruitment solutions that meet our clients’ needs.

<p><strong>Our philosophy is simple: build recruitment solutions that meet our clients&rsquo; needs.</strong></p><p>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.</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.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>How we can recruit for you</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><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 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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Retained recruitment</strong></h3><p>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.</p><p>&nbsp;</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><p>&nbsp;</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><p>&nbsp;</p><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&rsquo;re proud to be an extension of their talent attraction strategy encompassing everything from research through to market mapping and branding, so to be able to help our clients stand out to the best talent in a competitive market.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Helping you build your knowledge</h3><h4>Salary Surveys</h4><p>We regularly produce industry-wide salary surveys, and can produce more bespoke surveys for a specific role, location or seniority.

We can tailor these to your speciﬁc needs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Strategic Hiring Plans</h4><p>Here, we work with you to develop a detailed roadmap of how you will identify and source the best talent. Our experience of working with a wide range of clients across the built environment since 2001 helps us to set timelines, budgets, and agree stakeholders and processes for each role, as well as look at internal mobility and succession planning options.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Helping you attract better employees</h3><h4>Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Workshops</h4><p>Wherever you are on your DE&amp;I journey, we can develop a bespoke DE&amp;I strategy - built together - that will support you in hiring a workforce that better represents society and elevates the potential of your people.
