Recruitment agency Cobalt creates work environments "people want to be part of, rather than forced to be present in."

The London-based company specialises in matching people with job opportunities in real estate, construction, financial services and accounting from its offices in the UK, Germany and the USA. Its clients range from large corporates to niche entrepreneurial entities.

Cobalt prides itself on "working in a way that suits clients and candidates best," ensuring its own team members have roles and a workplace culture that inspire them too.

All employees can take unlimited annual leave to help them keep focused and on top form. The leave-booking app has a 'Burnout Board' flagging up colleagues who haven't taken any holiday recently and are yet to book any.

Staff also have access to Zoom yoga classes and various platforms, including one that gives staff access to counsellors and coaches and another that offers retail discounts as well as workouts and wellness webinars.

And there are plenty of opportunities to get together with colleagues, virtually and in person. These include regular senior leadership team bonding days to 'no-work-chat' dinners and BBQs. Open to all are Zoom cooking classes, rounders events, parties and crazy golf.

And incentives keep staff aiming high, from monthly sales competitions with monetary prizes to the ultimate reward of the annual 'High Fliers' holiday to a luxury location. Previous destinations have included Las Vegas, Miami and Cape Town.
