View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We are in a scale-up phase so recruitment is a top priority for us. We needed a platform that provided us with a large quantity of quality candidates.
Our Situation
A Streamlined Solution
When trying to hire before we were inundated with candidates who didn’t align with our technical needs or company ethos. The slow pace of acquiring suitable candidates and the considerable time invested in interviews made our recruitment process less effective, highlighting the need for a streamlined solution like cord.

Invaluable Inbox
Efficient Message Templates
Quality Inbound Applications
Having a unified inbox where I could filter candidates by position proved invaluable, particularly as it allowed multiple users across MWI to view and action applications in a singular, centralised location. This feature streamlined our hiring process, enabling both me and my colleagues to manage all candidates and respond to them efficiently from one place. It significantly facilitated quicker archiving or progressing of candidates, contributing to a smoother and more organised workflow. This collaborative approach and consolidated view of applications undoubtedly played a significant role in reducing our time to hire, ensuring that we could promptly and efficiently secure the right talent.
Efficient Message Templates
The availability of message templates, especially for declining applications, was a considerable asset. These templates allow for the provision of specific and constructive feedback for unsuccessful candidates, such as salary mismatching or lack of a specific skill set. This humanises our responses and creates a more positive interaction. The ability to communicate rejection considerately and in a timely manner likely had a positive impact on our overall response rates, as candidates appreciated the transparency and clarity in communication. This also allowed for a consistent tone of voice across our organisation as multiple users could respond with the same templates.
Quality Inbound Applications
Receiving a multitude of quality inbound applications to our job listings has significantly streamlined our hiring process. This surge in relevant applications has enabled us to reduce the time traditionally needed to source potential candidates, thereby saving us considerable time overall. It felt reassuring to know that our job listings were reaching the right audience, attracting individuals whose skills and experiences aligned with our needs. This positive shift in inbound applications not only expedited our hiring timeline but also allowed us to allocate our resources more effectively, focusing on engaging and evaluating prospective candidates rather than expending time on extensive sourcing. Alongside that, as soon as we matched with a viable candidate, we had immediate access to their email, phone number and CV, contributing to an efficient and effective hiring process and reducing our time to hire.
