View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We needed to improve our recruitment process by sourcing better-fitting Engineers and engaging in more effective conversations with them, all while saving significant time and resources.
Our Situation
Challenging, time-consuming recruitment
We were specifically on the hunt for a Full-Stack Engineer, during a period when the market was particularly difficult. We found that the Engineers we were getting through our own website weren't really the right fit for us. The process was also incredibly time-consuming, with a considerable amount of my time spent on hiring. We needed a platform to access high-quality, suitable Engineers in a time-efficient manner.
Using cord
Initiating conversations with templates
Access to active Engineers
Transparent listing and quality applicants
Prior to using cord, we were at the mercy of job boards, waiting passively for the right Engineer to come along. With cord, we could take the reins, actively reaching out to individuals that looked like a good fit for our company. Using the message templates on cord simplified and expedited our outreach. Crafting individual messages for numerous Engineers can be a time-consuming process, but with cord's templates, we could communicate effectively and efficiently. This saved us considerable time and helped us to maintain a consistent and professional tone in our communications.
Access to active Engineers
cord’s feature of providing access to active Engineers was a game changer for us. We were no longer spending time and resources on Engineers who were just idly browsing or not ready to make a career move. Instead, we were engaging with Engineers who were genuinely interested in changing companies. This not only expedited our recruitment process, but also improved the quality of our interactions with Engineers. With an impressive 95% average response rate, almost every single person we reached out to replied to us, and they did so incredibly quickly, with most responses coming within 24-48 hours. This allowed me to move potential hires down the pipeline much more efficiently.
Transparent listing and quality applicants
Being able to provide clear and upfront information about our preferences and the skills required for each role was another advantage of using cord. We could build out Tiney’s cord profile and each job posting with the necessary details, such as skill requirements, remote preferences and the offered salary for each role. Then, potential hires could access this information and assess their suitability before even applying, saving both their time and ours. Ultimately, this removed the time spent screening unsuitable applicants as we were only receiving quality inbound applications.
