Specialist recruiter for real estate, finance, and construction across UK, US, and Europe
Cobalt Recruitment is a London-based specialist recruiter focused on real estate, finance, and construction talent across seven countries. The hiring velocity is accelerating, with finance roles dominating the pipeline (43 open positions) alongside construction (23) and operations (12), suggesting client demand is concentrated in project finance, development accounting, and compliance-heavy operations. The tech stack reflects a traditional professional-services backbone: Salesforce, Dynamics 365, SAP, and Oracle for operations, paired with recruiting-specific tools (LinkedIn Recruiter) and industry-standard design software (AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Procore, Yardi) — indicating deep integration with client workflows rather than proprietary platform innovation.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Finance, Head of Property, Tax Director
