Working with Cobalt is always a pleasure. What impresses me is how they really take the time and effort to fully understand our exact needs and requirements, ensuring that they only send us highly suitable candidates.

Cobalt are an invaluable link in this chain and I look forward to using them in the future.HR, Resourcing team, DTZ
I would just like pass on my thanks to Oliver and Matt for their thoroughly professional approach to EC Harris over my first couple of months as the Recruitment Manager for Projects on Locations. Their approach has been consistent and timely, they also understand our business and its requirements. I am confident that they will continue to produce quality candidates that will enhance or clients capability to operate at the highest levels. It is with my gratitude that I write this and look forward to a long a professional association with Cobalt Recruitment.Resourcing Manager, EC Harris LLP
Following my recent interaction with Rosie, it’s overall been an easy and good experience. From giving the brief and description into what we were looking for, she offered a range of candidates, some of which already knew the managers so clearly proactive and good quality candidates. Also following a rather bad experience with a trial on a website we lost a fair amount of money and received just one application, so we reached out to Cobalt and within days we had some really great options. Rosie was easy to liaise with in regards to queries and concerns which made the process much smoother and we ended up placing a great candidate. We would highly recommend Rosie and Cobalt.Sophia Miller, HR, Henderson Global Investors
My experience to date with Cobalt has been very good. The applicant put forward for the role was ideal and had the same salary expectations as per my brief. The process of arranging an interview was also very straightforward. With so many candidates viewing job offers as an opportunity to renegotiate with their current employer and a number having since turned down a job offer in favour of an increased salary with their current employer it was good to see that the candidate in question appeared to be serious about wanting to change company and as of now is set to start work as agreed. Oliver was flexible with the terms & conditions required by my company and we have managed to avoid any hurdles in completing the recruitment process. Overall very happy with the service.G.C – Head of Planning, Cleshar Contract Services
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and Gardiner & Theobald to once again thank Oliver Jones of Cobalt for sourcing and providing Project Controls resource to our Pharma team. We have now managed to successfully place a number of personnel in key positions with our clients thanks to your hard work and determination. Your understanding of our requirements and ability to quickly match and offer the appropriate candidates is very much appreciated within the Gardiner & Theobald organisation. I am confident that with your ongoing support, our business relationship with Cobalt Recruitment will continue to develop and flourish.Partner, Gardiner & Theobald LLP
Many thanks Oliver for the ease and speed of the process of recruiting and appointing our Senior Planner despite the short timescale. Communication was great and we had no issues. The only issue in my mind was the speed in which we worked for approvals, 2nd interview etc, which was needed to take place quickly as we didn’t want to lose your candidate and conscious he was keen to move back into employment after his holiday.Head of Planning, Bouygues UK
