About The Economist Group
Our Goal
We needed to quickly and effectively find diverse, top-tier software engineering talent to elevate our technology team.
Needing to Grow Quickly with Quality Talent
Prolonged hiring cycles were hindering the speed of team growth and development. We needed to source top-quality software engineers across diverse technical disciplines and skill sets, extending beyond just 'front-end' or 'back-end' development, to effectively expand our technical team.
Increased Candidate Responsiveness The response rate from candidates not only increased but often tripled or quadrupled compared to platforms like LinkedIn. Using cord enables us to speak to them within a couple of hours instead of the days we would normally have to wait on other platforms.
Instant Access to New Candidates Being notified immediately when a candidate matching our criteria joins the platform has allowed us to make timely connections, sometimes outside regular office hours, leading to swift and successful hires.
Enhanced Diversity in Hiring cord's diversity filters tackle the challenge of diversifying our candidate pool, particularly in male-dominated tech roles, by allowing us to create streams designated for underrepresented groups. These filters ensure a diverse slate of candidates for interviews and align with our commitment to diversity.
Relevant Applicants On cord, we can create our unique company page, enabling candidates to learn about our company and mission, and determine if we're a good fit for them. This means we receive applications only from those genuinely interested in what we offer.
Swift Assessment of Candidates Candidates can craft their profiles, specifying industries of interest, required salaries, preferred technologies, and other pertinent information. This enables us to swiftly assess their suitability for our advertised roles.
