SPIE processes hundreds of candidates per RFP with Cobalt
On the densest RFPs, SPIE’s teams need to review, qualify and present 200 to 400 technical profiles in a matter of days. Cobalt gives them the means to hold that pace without sacrificing quality.
PARTNERSHIP WITH SPIE
SPIE is Europe’s leading independent provider of multi-technical services in energy and communications. Its subsidiaries continuously respond to public and private RFPs — each one requiring the submission of dozens or hundreds of qualified engineers and technicians. For a single large RFP, the team may need to present up to 300 profiles.
Before Cobalt, an RFP of this scale tied up several people for a week: pulling CVs from multiple sources, cross-reading profiles, producing skills documents one by one, aligning every file with the client’s template. The bottleneck was not sourcing — it was absorbing the volume on time.
With Cobalt, the teams import every candidate in one pass, use semantic search to keep only the profiles that match the specifications, then batch-generate SPIE-branded skills profiles. What used to take days now takes a few hours.
The benefit goes beyond speed. Business managers can finally focus on understanding the client’s real need and shaping the right response, rather than formatting CVs. And because every file stays in the same workspace, internal reviews and trade-offs happen faster than before.
