Our Goal

We needed to scale our non-profit efficiently to demonstrate growth and justify our funding.

Our Situation

No Growth, No Funding

As we are a non-profit, budget efficiency directly impacts our ability to function and achieve our mission, so we needed to find a way to eliminate expensive recruitment costs. We also needed to scale quickly and effectively; if we didn't meet recruitment goals in a timely manner, we couldn't justify the funding we received, which could jeopardise our business.

Using cord

Increased Engagement

Previously, we faced issues with candidate responsiveness, which directly impacted our recruitment efficiency and our ability to scale. Since using cord, our average response rate has improved to 60%. With cord we can connect with candidates who are genuinely interested and open to discussing opportunities.

Reduced Time to Hire

Before cord, it took us over 60 days to hire someone, which was inefficient and hindered our ability to demonstrate growth to funders. With cord, our hiring process is now streamlined to approximately 26 days. This improvement is crucial for a non-profit like ours, where timely hiring is essential to maintain funding and operational momentum.

Improved Cost Efficiency

As a non-profit, every pound spent must be justified. cord has proven to be 75% less expensive compared to traditional agency fees, representing a significant saving for us. This cost reduction is vital for our sustainability and allows us to allocate resources more effectively towards our mission.

Instantly Connecting with Relevant Candidates

cord's streams keep us continuously updated with candidates matching the specific skill sets required for our roles. It significantly quickens our recruitment process, enabling us to engage with relevant candidates almost immediately.

Our Result

Using cord, we reduced our hiring time to 26 days, decreased hiring costs by 75%, and made six crucial hires who continue to have a significant impact at Simprints.
