We wanted to dramatically scale up the size of our company at an affordable cost.
Our Situation
Economical and urgent hiring
We were in need of a larger number of Engineers, but the cost of using agencies was too high. We needed to scale up from 8 to around 50 people, and it was not economically feasible to rely on agencies to achieve such a large increase in personnel. LinkedIn wasn’t a useful alternative either. On cord, the main focus is on finding someone to hire, whereas on LinkedIn, it is more of a social networking site. In my experience, people on LinkedIn aren’t often open to a career change. I needed more urgency in my hiring, and that is what cord provided.
Using cord
Flexibility through filtering
Search filters are an essential tool in my hiring process. They allow me to be more flexible and try different options when looking for Engineers. Without them, I might have a starting idea of the Engineer I am after, but with the filters, I can explore a wide range of options to find the perfect fit for the company. With the filters, I have the ability to search for Engineers based on various parameters, such as salary range, remote work preference, and primary and secondary technical skills, allowing me to find exactly who the company is looking for. For example, if Two is looking for a remote developer, I can filter out Engineers who are not open to working remotely. This was very useful when Two started on cord as, back then, we were only looking to hire remotely. cord has a high volume of quality remote Engineers, so this was never an issue.
Direct and immediate communication
Direct and immediate communication
cord offers a distinct hiring experience compared to traditional recruitment agencies. There is a greater emphasis on direct communication; I am able to reach out directly to potential Engineers and spend my time on cord responding to not only outreach replies but also to Engineers who have reached out directly to me. The messaging feature on cord enables rapid and engaging conversations, which aligns well with the dynamic and fast-paced culture of our startup.
The immediacy of the messaging on cord allows me to move Engineers through my hiring pipeline much quicker than any other alternative. Engineers on cord are motivated to find a new role quickly and this is evident in the fast response times and high response rates. I can quickly identify and engage with potential hires, ultimately leading me to fill my open positions promptly.
