We wanted to give ourselves a competitive advantage by accessing candidates you can’t find on LinkedIn.
Our Situation
Wasted Energy
Before using cord, identifying candidates who were actively looking for new roles was a major challenge. Platforms like LinkedIn showed many profiles, but it was hard to tell who was truly open to new opportunities. This made targeting the right individuals difficult and often led to wasted efforts contacting candidates not interested in moving.

Access to New, Quality Talent
On cord, I was able to distinguish between active and passive candidates. This feature significantly improved my recruitment process as I could focus on individuals who were genuinely interested in new roles. It saved time and increased the efficiency of my recruitment efforts by ensuring I reached out to the right candidates from the start. As they were open to conversations, my response rate on cord was double that on LinkedIn.
Interviews Booked Instantly
Prior to using cord, engaging with candidates and scheduling interviews was time-consuming as I had to wait for responses to messages and then go back and forth to arrange meeting times. But on cord, I could send a message to a candidate, and they could book a time in my calendar immediately if interested. I could have interviews booked with candidates I had sourced on that day.
Improved Quality of Matches
Unlike other platforms where candidates might list a wide range of skills and you have no idea just how proficient they are in each of them, cord allowed for a distinction between core skills and additional skills. This differentiation made it easier for me to match candidates with job requirements accurately and quickly. It reduced the time spent sifting through profiles and improved the quality of matches.
Access to New, Quality Talent
cord consistently introduces new candidates onto the platform, expanding my talent pool far beyond what I encounter on sites such as LinkedIn. These candidates are active, high-quality, and ready for a role change. Accessing candidates not available elsewhere enables me to diversify the candidates I present to clients, making my life as a recruiter much easier.
