Client Feedback

“ASM Assembly Systems are a global technology leader, many of the people we employ have skills and experience than very few people have.  Traditional recruitment methods weren’t working for us, as well as they used to so at the start of 2019 I contacted Cogito and asked them to work with us to develop a model which was able to identify the talent we needed, promote our employer brand authentically and improve our processes to ensure we can attract, engage and acquire talented people – Cogito’s transformation programme has helped us to do this.  Their team provides us with a tailored strategy based upon our unique needs, great candidates, market insight and continuous advice to ensure we are set up for continued success and increased return upon our investment ”
