What We Do
Established in 2016, Cobalt Search is an Executive Search firm providing A Player leadership talent to clients across the UK, US, Canada and the Middle East.
Our clients are passionate about getting the very best talent into their organization. They insist on using a process that delivers candidates that will excel and will be the right cultural fit.
Cobalt is committed to delivering diversity.
What Makes Us Different?
Often clients approach us because they’ve experienced a failed search or disappointing levels of service. While we know that we’re one of many in a noisy and competitive marketplace, we firmly believe that our different values, methods and attitude make us stand out from the crowd.
We go deeper, look harder, search smarter and deliver faster. Because we are totally transparent in everything we do, keeping candidates and clients informed, up-to-date and engaged throughout the process we deliver a consistently exceptional experience for both parties.
We think differently about search. Here are the facts:
We guarantee our placements; if they don’t work out during their onboarding, we will find the perfect replacement free of charge
It’s not enough to find someone who can simply ‘do the job’, we ensure we gain an authentic insight into what makes the perfect cultural, operational and strategic fit for every client.
We charge the majority of our fee on placement
The entire end-to-end recruitment process including sourcing, interviewing and shortlisting is delivered by senior level managers with at least 20 years of recruitment experience. This gives us the confidence to charge our clients differently to traditional search firms.
We have a 96% retention rate
We are experts at assessing. We make sure we understand our clients, their roles and culture and our candidates. This means we can match effectively, which results in candidates that stay, have impact and deliver significant value. 96% of our placed candidates have stayed for at least 12 months.

““Cobalt presented several highly credible and suitable candidates, all of whom would have been a great fit with the CFO role and our organization culture. It was a challenge to settle on our eventual appointee because of the exceptional quality of the field, but, once we had made our choice, Cobalt provided excellent support to both ourselves and the candidate through the appointment process. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this process.”
