We needed to find quality Engineers to join our team and break free from the hassles of recruitment agencies.
Our Situation
Expanding our reach
In the past, we faced difficulties in finding high-quality Engineers for our company. We relied on third-party agencies for recruitment, which often resulted in miscommunications and led to a higher rate of Engineer rejection. In addition, we used to hire people through personal connections such as friends and family, but as we grew, we needed to expand our reach to a wider pool of qualified Engineers.
Using cord
Easy to source
No restrictions, collaborative hiring
Unified outreach, quick responses
I would create a stream on cord and regularly review the profiles of new Engineers as they entered the stream. The platform's Slack notifications made it easy to stay on top of new Engineers in my streams. If an Engineer appeared promising in the Slack summary, my team and I would quickly follow up with them to move them along the hiring process. This helped us to efficiently identify and pursue top Engineers for our organization. But alongside allowing Engineers to come to us, we actively sourced new talent, and one of the ways we did that is by leveraging cord's diversity filters to expand our team in specific ways, particularly in finding women in technology. It's often challenging to find female Engineers, so we made a conscious effort to use the diversity filters to reach out and review a larger pool of female Engineers. cord's platform made it easy to filter by specific demographics and find qualified Engineers who aligned with our hiring goals.
No restrictions, collaborative hiring
At Looper Insights, we really appreciated how cord has no user limit restrictions. This feature enables our team to use the platform without any constraints, allowing us to manage our hiring process efficiently. This is unlike other hiring tools that may limit the number of users or require additional payments for more users. With cord, we can have everyone involved in the hiring process without any restrictions, ensuring we can find the best Engineers for our team. As our organisation is flat, we found shared streams to be an efficient way to manage Engineer recommendations. Everyone at the company had access to the streams and could search for and recommend Engineers that they believed would be a good fit for our team. This allowed for a collaborative approach to hiring and ensured that all team members had a say in the hiring process.
Unified outreach, quick responses
I found cord's message templates to be a helpful tool for maintaining consistency in our responses to Engineers. Since there were multiple team members handling Engineer outreach, the templates ensured that everyone was sending a unified response to those who reached out to us. This allowed us to efficiently manage Engineer communication and ensure that our employer brand was consistently presented to all Engineers. This streamlined and efficient approach to outreach increased our ability to start conversations with as many qualified Engineers as possible in a short amount of time. These Engineers are active, engaged, and looking for a role change. Because of this, we were able to reach out to active Engineers and receive responses within the same day, making the recruitment process faster and more efficient.
