Our Goal
We were looking for a tool to help us identify quality Engineers and combat low response rates to our outreach.
Our Situation
Wasting time
Previously, we’ve used Linkedin recruiter to look for Engineers, but often we found that there were inaccuracies in what people stated on their profile - often regarding whether they were actually looking for work. We’d sift through swathes of profiles to find someone that’s a good match, and then and then we’d find out they’re not looking to switch roles - wasting time in the process.
We needed a tool that allowed us to easily identify relevant Engineers who were actively looking for work.
Using cord
Active Engineers, info up-front
We joined cord after one of our own Developers recommended it to us, they referenced that people on cord were ‘active’ and ready to switch roles. Since we started using it, I’ve mainly been responding to people that reach out to us directly, I’m easily able to see their key technical skills, salary requirements, and previous experience which makes accepting or declining incoming requests simple.
Easier outreach, more replies
Aside from responding to inbound messaging, we have streams of Engineers set up to cater for each live role we have - every time someone joins cord that matches the criteria we’re looking for, we’re able to message them straight away as they start their job search which means we’re more likely to get a positive response back. Features like templated messaging further reduce the amount of time we have to put in once we’ve found someone we want to talk to.
Quality, without the cost
Using cord, we get a much higher standard of Engineer when compared to Linkedin and they’re much more likely to respond to messages we send them. When it comes to making an offer for a hire, we know we don’t need to factor in any extra budget because of the lack of hiring fees.
