About me

​My role at Cobalt

I currently coordinate the contractor payroll process and compliance. As well as this, I contribute to the Management accounts for the UK together with various other accounting duties. Having started my role in February 2022, I can already see how much of a people-centred company Cobalt is and how they genuinely care about their clients.

The Vibe & Mindset

I love the social culture and vibe of working at a recruitment company because of my day-to-day interactions with a wide range of people. I like how the ethos of Cobalt encourages a driven mindset; this aligns with my own values and how I always want to improve myself and the processes that I use in order to make life easier for everyone!

Guilty Pleasures

I am a Manchester United fan, always hoping the next season will be better! I also enjoy: travelling, eating and attempting to cook jollof rice, 5km runs and whisky at the weekends (not together!).

  • ​The best thing about working at Cobalt is the collaborative nature in the business and culture of sharing and teamwork. Not every role sits in one neat little box within my own industry sector, and it’s a good feeling to be able to count on colleague’s support and expertise when you need it most.

  • ​The ability to become a specialist in your space is something the business fully supports you with and the fact that you get to collaborate with some truly great people along the way is a bonus!

  • ​I love that you can go into any Cobalt office anywhere in the globe and know it's a Cobalt office, not by the branding or the set up, but by the approach of the people to doing their job, the fact that you are greeted like a (welcome!) family member and a genuine desire to learn and develop.

    Sara Burton - Global Operations Director
