8 tools replaced. Zero double entry.
From candidate sourcing to client presentation — discover how Cobalt replaces your entire recruitment stack.
Trusted by
The problem nobody really solves.
Staffing firms and recruitment agencies stack tools. Result: fragmented data, wasted time and candidates slipping through the cracks.
8+ stacked tools, no unified view
An ATS here, a CRM there, a sequencing tool elsewhere, enrichment on the side. Your data is fragmented, your team spends more time switching tabs than recruiting.
Constant double entry between ATS and ERP
Every positioned candidate is entered in the ATS, then re-entered in BoondManager. Every dossier is manually generated then uploaded. Every update is forgotten in one of the two systems.
Lost candidates, erased history
A recruiter leaves and takes their notes, contacts, ongoing deals. No centralized history, no continuity. You start from scratch with every turnover.
Overview
A system, not a collection of tools.
Every recruitment step feeds the next. Data flows automatically between sourcing, engagement and management — synced with your ERP.

Discover
Identify the right profiles in minutes, not hours.
Semantic search, automatic enrichment and conversational AI agent. Cobalt finds the candidates your competitors take days to identify.
Talk to Balt like a colleague. It does the rest.
Balt is an AI agent connected to all your data — candidates, notes, projects, exchange history. It interprets your requests in natural language, queries your talent pool and external sources, then generates a scored, enriched shortlist. Every action requires human validation: Balt proposes, you decide.
Conversational search
Describe your need naturally. Balt understands context, skills, rate and location. No Boolean syntax, no manual filters.
Dossier generation in 30s
Balt compiles profile, experience and interview notes to generate a skill dossier in your client's format. PDF, Word or PowerPoint.
Continuous learning
Mandatory human validation on every action. Balt learns from your feedback — its scores and suggestions improve mission after mission.
Describe your ideal candidate. AI finds them.
No more long Boolean queries. Type "React developer, 3+ years, available, London, £400-500/day" — AI analyzes your full talent pool using semantic embeddings and surfaces the best profiles, scored by multi-criteria relevance: skills, availability, location, seniority.
Semantic search
AI understands meaning, not just keywords. "Digital project manager" also matches "Digital PM", "Head of Digital" and "Digital transformation lead".
Explainable scoring
Each profile gets a decomposed score: skills (40%), availability (25%), location (20%), seniority (15%). You see why a candidate ranks high.

Verified emails
95% find rate. Each email verified in real-time to eliminate bounces and outdated addresses.
Smart CV parsing
PDF, Word or image — AI extracts experience, skills, education and structures them in the candidate profile automatically.

Engage
Never let a candidate slip through the cracks again.
Automated multichannel sequences, centralized inbox, transcribed calls. Every interaction tracked, every follow-up sent at the right time.
Outreach that doesn't look like spam.
Email + LinkedIn + WhatsApp in one campaign. AI personalizes every message based on candidate profile — experience, skills, current role, detected interests. The sequence stops automatically when they reply, resumes via another channel if needed. Built-in anti-spam: warm-up, address rotation, bounce detection.
Visual builder
Drag-and-drop with conditions and branching. If email opened → LinkedIn follow-up. If click → call. Every step is configurable.
AI personalization

AI methodology
How Cobalt AI works. Concretely.
No buzzwords, no magic. Here are the mechanisms behind every Cobalt AI feature.
Semantic matching
Cobalt encodes every profile and query into semantic vectors. "Digital project manager" is understood as a concept, not a string — it matches "Digital PM", "Head of Digital", "Digital transformation lead". The model is specifically trained on IT recruitment and staffing roles.
Explainable multi-criteria scoring
Every score is decomposed into weighted criteria: technical skills (40%), availability (25%), location (20%), seniority (15%). Weights are adjustable per project. You see exactly why a candidate is ranked #1 and another #15 — no black box.
Systematic human-in-the-loop
Balt proposes, you decide. Every AI action — shortlist, enrichment, follow-up, document — goes through explicit human validation. When you accept or reject a suggestion, the model incorporates your feedback and refines its recommendations. No blind automation.
Security & compliance
Your data stays yours. Not ours.
European infrastructure, native GDPR compliance, end-to-end encryption. Every AI decision is traceable and validated by a human.
GDPR compliant
Data processing compliant with GDPR. Consent, right to erasure and portability natively built into the platform.
EU hosting
Infrastructure hosted in Europe (France). Your data never leaves the EU. Standard contractual clauses (SCC) for non-EU subprocessors.
End-to-end encryption
Data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Role-based access control with multi-factor authentication.
Human-controlled AI
No automatic action without validation. AI assists, the recruiter decides. Complete audit trail of every decision.
