Our Goal

We wanted to streamline communication with Engineers, tap into new talent, reduce reliance on third-party agencies, and lower our hiring costs.

Our Situation
Competing in a saturated market
Before finding cord, establishing contact with Engineers was a significant challenge for us. We were primarily relying on competitive social media services and third-party agencies to source Engineers, which wasn't the most efficient or effective approach. It was difficult to maintain consistent and meaningful communication with potential hires, and we often found ourselves competing in a saturated market to get the attention of top talent. This old approach was not only time-consuming but also costly, as we had to pay significant fees to third-party partners.
Using cord
Easy Communication with Engineers
Before using cord, reaching out to Engineers was a significant hurdle. Now, cord has become my go-to platform for effortless communication with potential hires. It’s like a professional social network where I can directly message Engineers, making my interactions more personal and effective. This feature has streamlined the way I connect with talent, eliminating the awkward and often ineffective cold calls that used to dominate my days. Now, I have immediate access to a pool of active, fresh Engineers that is constantly updated. This has been a game-changer in reducing the time it takes to find the right Engineer for each role.

Efficient Organisation Features
One of the standout features of cord is the detailed and organised Engineer profiles. Before, I had to dig through piles of resumes and LinkedIn profiles, which was time-consuming and often led to missing key information. With cord, I get a comprehensive view of an Engineer’s background at a glance. Everything is neatly summarised and presented, allowing me to quickly assess if an Engineer is a good fit for a role, saving me valuable time. Once I have found someone I wish to engage with, I can utilise cord’s message templates to streamline and speed up the communication process. I love how these templates allow me to easily navigate through the user interface, effortlessly connect with Engineers, progress them through our hiring pipeline, or fit them into the right project. For me, organisation is paramount, and cord’s templates are designed with this in mind. They help me keep everything nice, neat, and systematically arranged, which is exactly how I like to work.

Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are incredibly important to me, and cord’s diversity filter has been a groundbreaking feature in my recruitment process. Before cord, ensuring a diverse pool of Engineers was a manual and challenging process. Now, I can easily filter and actively seek diverse talent, aligning our hiring practices with our commitment to creating a more inclusive workplace. This feature is not just a tool; for me, it’s a step towards a more unbiased future in hiring. I strongly recommend everyone try this feature to see what kind of great talent you can uncover.

Our Result

We’ve made tens of hires across Global Relay, significantly reduced our reliance on costly third-party agencies, and experienced amazing response rates from Engineers.
