Our Goal
We joined cord looking to hire a remote C# developer without having to resort to costly agencies.
Intuitive Design and Cohesive Collaboration
Before discovering cord, our experience with recruiting platforms was limited. What truly stood out about cord was its intuitive design, which even newcomers could swiftly navigate. This ease of use was instrumental, especially when we aimed to expedite our hiring journey without the hindrance of a steep learning curve. Furthermore, cord's features promoting team collaboration proved invaluable, allowing us both to focus on our specific recruitment roles and facilitate a smoother hiring pipeline. With everything from messaging to scheduling housed on a singular platform, our hiring process was not only streamlined but also rendered more cohesive and unified.
Quality Candidates and Valuable Profiles
The search filters were instrumental in sifting through profiles and narrowing down the most suitable prospects. Despite our initial apprehensions about the number and quality of candidates we'd find on cord, especially for our niche roles, our worries were soon allayed. We were able to find more than enough quality candidates in our search, even with our specific requirements. The standardised candidate profiles on cord greatly aided our decision-making process. Rather than grappling with disparate CV formats and presentations, cord's profiles provided a uniform snapshot of a candidate's history and expectations. This feature gave us an immediate sense of who the candidates were and their competencies, allowing us to delve deeper into their detailed CVs when required. The structured profiles ensured that we had all the essential information at our fingertips, making our screening process more efficient and ultimately reducing our time to hire to under a month for two hires.
High Response Rates and Quick Response Times
Having active candidates revolutionised our recruitment strategy. The platform's assurance of candidates actively seeking opportunities dramatically reduced our communication delays. In our industry, swift decision-making is paramount; waiting indefinitely, especially when evaluating multiple prospects, isn't feasible. With cord, the change in our engagement with candidates was palpable. We witnessed an impressive 90% response rate, starkly contrasting our past endeavours. The majority of these candidates replied within a day, often within an hour streamlining our recruitment approach and making it far more agile. In previous recruitment cycles, timely responses were a rare luxury. However, with cord, rapid candidate feedback became the norm, expediting our hiring process and boosting its efficiency.
