Mission
Every day, thousands of recruiters waste hours on repetitive tasks: sourcing candidates, sending messages, scheduling interviews, taking notes. These fragmented tools slow them down and keep them away from what really matters: human connection.
AI is changing the game. Not to replace recruiters, but to free them. We're building Cobalt to automate the invisible, structure information, and let HR teams focus on what matters: identifying and nurturing top talent.
We're not building another ATS. We're creating an intelligent platform that understands context, anticipates needs, and works in the background. AI shouldn't be another tool to master — it should just work.
How we work
At Cobalt, we believe in ownership, transparency, and speed of execution. Every team member is a builder.
Full ownership
No micromanagement. Everyone owns their scope, from design to deployment.
Speed of execution
We favor action over perfection. Ship fast, iterate, learn.
Radical transparency
Metrics, decisions, roadmap: everything is shared. No politics, just clarity.
Product impact
Every feature solves a real user problem. No vanity metrics.
The team
We're an early-stage team based at Station F, Paris. We're looking for people who want to build, not just execute. Curious, autonomous profiles who aren't afraid of ambiguity.
