Cobalt Education

Cobalt is a leading specialist recruitment provider to the Education sector, recruiting for all key senior functions. Our client base encompasses all sizes and varieties of institutions from large universities and schools to niche private establishments and Government Bodies. Cobalt establishes strong professional relationships and, over time, we are able to develop a deep understanding of our clients' cultures and strategic objectives by visiting the client on site and interacting with existing staff. This knowledge gives us a unique ability to recruit at all professional levels, adding value to organisations from Head of Department through to Board level positions.

Consultants at Cobalt have an impressive knowledge of their specialist area, having been attracted to Cobalt either directly from the Education sector or from other specialist recruitment consultancies. As individuals, we are passionate about the sectors in which we work and about forming lasting, productive relationships. These drivers are highly evident in the way that we approach our work and ultimately the unrivalled success we achieve.

We cater to all of our clients' recruitment needs whether they seek to appoint one key individual, a department, or fulfil their annual intake. Cobalt possesses both the expertise and the resources to ensure that all of their objectives are met on time, within budget and with the minimum of disruption to the operation of their institution.

It is important to state that we are not driven purely by our clients; we are fully aware that the sourcing and onward professional management of candidates is instrumental to the successful execution of our mandates. Across the Education sector the imbalance between supply and demand for talented professionals is acute. This is particularly true in the Middle East where the stellar economic and social growth of the region over the last decade, including the influx of ex-patriate workers, has put significant pressure on the education system at large.

This rapid economic expansion and development across the Middle East and North Africa has led to an increase in educational establishments in recent years. The demand for teachers, lecturers and training professionals has grown accordingly and in order to meet this demand, Cobalt has extended its service offering to the region.

Our consultants and our dedicated team of in-house researchers are highly candidate focused and are therefore constantly developing relationships with potential candidates in order to satisfy their clients' requirements both now and in the future.
