Testimonials

Thank you for all your continuous support and professionalism.

Dr. Richard Schwab, Group HR Director, TriGranit Group of Companies

I have worked with Claudio and Cobalt for a number of years and have filled some very important roles with their help. Claudio takes a brief very well, understands the FM market and when he does present a CV it is always applicable to the role and worthy of an interview. I have no hesitation in recommending Claudio and his team for FM recruitment.

Aidan Bell MD at Aramark Workspace Solutions

Cobalt showed great perseverance throughout even when the requirements for the candidates changed considerably. Niki, you were always available via both telephone and email and you communicated with us throughout the process keeping us updated and informed at all times. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Cobalt took the time to understand our business needs and only shared with us appropriate candidates. We found Cobalt to be very attentive as well as friendly and prompt with arranging appointments with candidates and subsequently following up with useful feedback from candidates which has resulted in a number of successful placements with RLB within our various offices in the South East.

Kate has been a total diamond, she is incredibly professional and attentive, quickly showed a thorough understanding of our brief and the sorts of candidates that would fit with our culture.

Many thanks Kate and Cobalt please keep up the good work.

Cobalt has demonstrated professionalism and deep market knowledge in combination with the ability to source ‘hard to find’ candidates in a number of jurisdictions. In particular we are very pleased with Daniel Bauer and the level of service provided by Cobalt in Germany.

Daniel J. Herrmann MD Germany , Tamar Capital Partners

I found Cobalt and in particular Tori Dickson to be attentive and personal in their approach. We had a number of CV’s sent through by various firms, but what stood out about Tori was that she would take the time to pick up the phone to talk me through the possible candidates rather than letting me wade through the CV’s. Through doing this, I felt that she understood exactly what my brief was which certainly saved me a lot of time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cobalt to others
