About Talentedge (Technology)
Troi (Contingent) are a small team of innovative ex Internal & Embedded recruiters who have honed their talents over the years recruiting technical and commercial roles in both agency and internal settings, across multiple sectors and geographies. They’ve collectively worked in recruitment for decades, and understand what flexible and scalable recruiting agency solutions should look like and how to attract the best talent, whether that be for a contractual, permanent or fixed-term hire.
View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We wanted a platform where we could readily engage with high-quality talent, cutting through the noise and demonstrating that we have genuine positions and strong relationships with our clients.
Our Situation
Limited by LinkedIn
Before cord, our small agency struggled to prove our credibility and stand out in a crowded market. As a small firm focusing on tech and commercial hires for early-stage companies, it was hard to prove our reliability to both candidates and clients. Alternatives such as LinkedIn Recruiter proved too time-consuming, and I frequently encountered difficulties contacting specific candidates on LinkedIn due to being out of network.

Deep candidate profile information
Identifying quality applications takes seconds
Being on cord enhanced our agency's credibility and accountability. The platform's emphasis on high response rates and quick response times allowed us to demonstrate our commitment to genuine positions, reassuring candidates of our legitimacy and aiding in building trust with them.
Instantly notified of relevant candidates
By creating streams with specific candidate criteria, I could accomplish my sourcing goals within just 10 to 15 minutes a day on cord, avoiding the extensive search time common on platforms like LinkedIn. Also, daily updates on new candidates entering my streams kept me promptly informed of relevant talent.
High response rates save hours
As a small agency just starting out, it was very useful to dedicate the time I would normally spend on sourcing to other tasks. When engaging with candidates, I quickly received responses to my outreach and maintained an average response rate of over 50%, which is far higher than other platforms I’ve used.
Deep candidate profile information
cord provides comprehensive candidate information, including salary expectations, company size preferences, and backgrounds, streamlining sourcing compared to LinkedIn's limited data points. This eliminated the need for extensive back-and-forth communication.
Identifying quality applications takes seconds
Another factor that helped speed up recruiting was the Profile Match Score visible on applications that enter our inbox. This quickly indicated how suitable a person was for the role being hired. For instance, if someone contacted me with a 90% Profile Match Score, I instantly knew they were a great fit for the position.
