We joined cord looking to hire an AI Scientist - a relatively niche role that we struggled to source for elsewhere.
Our Situation
An incomplete picture
Prior to using cord, our main tool when sourcing was Linkedin, but there were a few aspects that made it harder for us to get results. One of the main problems we experienced was not having full visibility on people’s profiles. When we found someone that might be a fit for our roles, we didn’t know if they were looking for work, and even if they were, we didn’t know whether they were able to work in the US. Because we didn’t have a full picture on someone before we messaged them, our response rate was low, typically 10-15%. We needed a tool that would help us identify and contact quality Engineers that matched out requirements.
Using cord
The info we needed
As soon as we joined cord we were able to create streams based on our open roles, these streams allowed us to filter down to exactly who we were looking for. We were able to specify the technical skills we wanted Engineers to have, what salary range worked with our budget, and we could make sure that they could work in the US. On top of the requirements we had, we got visibility on other aspects that would help us make a sourcing decision such as industry preferences, remote-working preferences, and previous experience. On cord we had a much clearer picture of whether someone would be a good fit for our business, even before we started speaking to them.
Better matches, more replies
Once we’ve found someone that’s initially a good fit, I have the option to reach out using a pre-built message template that features personalisation and an automated follow-up. Because of the information on people’s profiles, the fact that they were actively looking for work and the matching requirements that were built into my streams, our response rate improved to 55%, more than double what we were getting on Linkedin.
No hiring fees
When we hired for our AI Scientist position on cord 4 weeks after we posted the role, we didn't need to worry about hiring fees due to cord's subscription-based pricing. The ease of use and results we got from cord have meant that I've recommended it to my previous company.
