View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We needed to hire a lot of Engineers throughout Europe and needed a reliable platform to help us with this scale-up.
Our Situation
Scaling challenges
We needed to hire Engineers at scale across Europe and found significant challenges using other job boards like LinkedIn and GitHub. Our response rates were disappointingly low, making it incredibly difficult to engage with potential Engineers, let alone progress them further in the hiring process. While we did receive some engagement through job ads, we quickly became overwhelmed with unsuitable Engineers applying.
Using cord
Game-changing speed
Valuable automation
Efficient Engineer matchmaking
The bulk of our engineering hires come through cord as it’s so much easier to start and continue a conversation with prospective talent. Engineers on cord are highly responsive and engaged in their interactions. Instead of waiting for over a month to receive a reply, I now get responses within a matter of hours. It's been remarkable to see that 80% of our outreach on cord results in a response, which is a substantial increase compared to the job boards we used previously. This has been a huge factor in the rapid decrease in our time to hire, which now is on average two and a half weeks per hire. As we need to hire at scale, speed and efficiency are crucial for our hiring efforts, so utilising cord has been a game-changer in that respect.
Valuable automation
I find the message templates on cord to be incredibly valuable. They offer a convenient way to personalise outreach to Engineers by automatically populating relevant information such as their name, skillset, and experience. This streamlines the outreach process significantly, saving me time and effort. Additionally, the automated follow-up messages have proven to be extremely useful. They are sent out automatically after a few days if an Engineer needs a gentle reminder to reply. I've noticed that this feature has increased the rate of responses we receive from Engineers. Moreover, it takes the onus off me to constantly chase responses, allowing me to allocate my time elsewhere.
Efficient Engineer matchmaking
The profiles on cord provide just the right amount of information necessary for me to make informed decisions about the suitability of Engineers for our positions. Most importantly, it shows what an Engineer is interested in working in, whether that be a tech stack or industry, so I immediately know if there is common ground between myself and the person I am reaching out to. If there is, the chance of a successful interaction and an interview booking is more likely, so I can save myself time by targeting my outreach to these Engineers specifically. Furthermore, the profiles showcase the Engineer's relevant experience, including previous companies they have worked for, salary expectations, and remote working preferences. These details are crucial in ensuring that I can easily and effectively identify the most suitable Engineers for our hiring needs.
