Running a recruitment agency means juggling multiple open mandates, dozens of active candidates, and clients who all want updates without delay. Most of the friction isn’t the work itself — it’s the tooling: chasing emails in LinkedIn, reformatting CVs in Word, and finding interview notes buried in a shared Google Doc. Cobalt eliminates that friction so you can focus on what actually drives placements: sourcing the right people, qualifying them well, and presenting them compellingly.

How recruitment agencies use Cobalt

1

New mandate — one project, everything in one place

When a client brief lands, create a Project in Cobalt: add the job description, required criteria, salary range, and client context. Every candidate you source, approach, or qualify goes into that project’s pipeline. No more cross-referencing spreadsheets or losing a great shortlist in an email thread.
2

Source without limits

Install the Cobalt Chrome Extension and import any LinkedIn profile into your database in a single click. Then enrich it: Cobalt finds a verified professional email and a direct phone number. What used to take several minutes per profile now takes seconds.
3

Multichannel outreach at scale

Set up an automated sequence once: LinkedIn message on day 1, email on day 3, follow-up on day 7. Cobalt’s AI personalizes the opening line for each candidate based on their profile — so every approach feels hand-written, even at scale. Your reply rates go up; your admin time goes down.
4

Qualify without losing context

When a candidate interview is done, Cobalt transcribes it and produces a structured summary: motivations, salary expectations, availability, key strengths, and any reservations. That summary links to their candidate profile automatically. When a client asks for feedback on a candidate several weeks later, you have everything — instantly.
5

Present to client — branded and polished

Generate a skills document in one click: the CV is reformatted into the client’s template, the qualification summary is included, and the key points are highlighted. Delivered in the client’s colors, in seconds. No more reformatting in Word at the last minute before a client deadline.
Cobalt’s Chrome Extension works directly inside LinkedIn. You import a profile, enrich it, and add it to a mandate pipeline without leaving your browser tab.
