Projects structure your work in Cobalt. Each project groups the records and actions tied to a specific goal — a need to fill, a consultant to reposition, an account to grow, and so on.

By use case

Pick the project type that fits your goal:

Source for a need

Source candidates to fill a client need.

Start a bench placement

Reposition a consultant who is between assignments.

Push a top profile

Proactively push a profile to your clients.

Identify the right decision-makers

Find the right people to contact (expanding contacts, new decision-makers).

Discover new clients

Identify new companies to approach.

Views

A project can be displayed in three views:
  • Cards — card layout.
  • Kanban — columns by status. This is the default for sourcing projects.
  • Excel — row-by-row table. This is the default for prospecting projects.

Project status

Each project has an Active or Archived status. Active projects are the ongoing ones — potentially worth following. Once a project is finalized, archive it: it no longer appears by default in the projects list, keeping the page free of projects you no longer use.

Filters

You can filter projects by type and by member. Handy, for example, in a weekly meeting: filter by member to review everyone’s business actions for the past week.

Attachments

Depending on the project type, you can attach needs or candidates. You can also attach workflows to partially or fully automate certain project tasks. See Create your first workflow to learn more.

Permissions

By default, everyone can see and edit projects. If you want, you can restrict this access using custom roles — see Roles and permissions.
