Cobalt is a specialist recruitment provider to the Education sector, recruiting for all key senior functions. 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.

Our Client Base

We recruit for all sizes and varieties of institutions from large universities and schools to education councils and government bodies. Our remit covers all levels from primary through to further education. We recruit nationally and internationally, sourcing candidates from around the world.

We establish strong professional relationships and are therefore able to develop a deep understanding of our clients' cultures and strategic objectives by visiting the client on site and meeting current 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.

Our Candidate Base

Across the Education sector the imbalance between supply and demand for talented professionals is acute and through our extensive database and market knowledge, we are able to source the right candidates for our clients.

We recruit across all disciplines including primary, secondary and tertiary education, recruiting for teaching staff and lecturers through to Principles, Deans and Directors. We also source specialist education staff such as teacher trainers, education consultants, librarians, examiners and business managers.

Our Approach

With education skills becoming increasingly transferable across borders we are in a strong position to recruit internationally for our clients. We work primarily on an executive search or advertised selection basis, targeting specific skills and experience for our clients. In addition, we work from our extensive database for contingency positions.
