We had the pleasure of connecting with Laura and COBE Career Services about the benefits of partnering with COBE. Within a couple of days we had three recommendations from the faculty. Our hiring managers told me it was one of the stronger candidate groups we had for this role in recent memory, and we were able to hire a graduating senior with extreme ambition and foundational knowledge required to be successful in this role.
