We needed to find a more efficient way to hire quality tech talent, and build a more diverse and skilled workforce to support our business needs, and reduce our high agency costs.
Our Situation
Resource-Draining Inefficient Hiring
Before using cord, we struggled to find candidates with the necessary skills for our technical positions. As a result, we often had to hire junior candidates, leading to extensive training that drained our resources. Our recruitment process was time-consuming as we didn't receive many applications directly, impeding our ability to hire quickly.
Using cord
Quality Inbound Applications
On cord, we experienced a lot of success with inbound applications, something we didn’t get on other platforms. All five hires from cord were candidates who approached us first. This saved us a lot of legwork and ensured that we engaged with interested and proactive candidates.
cord provided a diverse pool of skilled candidates, solving our skills gap. We no longer needed to hire junior candidates and invest time in extensive training. The high quality of candidates on cord enabled us to hire five candidates from just eight interviews in one month.
Enhanced Diversity Hiring
cord's diversity filters helped us hire more female candidates, addressing our gender imbalance. This was crucial for our diversity and inclusion goals, especially for our Women in Tech initiative.
Significant Cost Reduction
cord drastically cut our recruitment costs. Initially, our cost per hire was around £2,500 due to reliance on agencies. With cord, we reduced it to about £380 per hire.
