We needed to quickly find and engage high-quality tech talent with minimal time investment.
Our Situation
Prolonged Hiring Delays Team Growth
Finding the right candidates quickly was difficult, and keeping them engaged was a struggle. This led to longer hiring times and extensive hours spent on platforms like LinkedIn. The process was time-consuming and often delayed our team's growth.

Rapid Hiring
High Candidate Engagement
Time and Effort Savings
Cost Efficiency
On cord, we made 11 quality hires in 12 months, primarily senior engineers. Typically, from the initial message to the signed offer, it took about three weeks to hire someone. This was crucial in a competitive market, allowing us to secure top talent quickly and stick to our goal of a less than 30-day time to hire.
High Candidate Engagement
We achieved an above 80% response rate with active talent and had candidates respond to our outreach within 24 hours, which was crucial for engaging potential hires quickly. This high engagement allowed us to maintain momentum in our hiring process and ensured we could act fast when good candidates appeared.
Time and Effort Savings
cord's clean and intuitive UI made it significantly easier and quicker to source candidates compared to LinkedIn. The platform allowed me to efficiently check messages and respond to candidates, which saved a lot of time and effort. I found it very simple to navigate, allowing me to spend just 10 minutes a day on the platform and get all my sourcing done.
Cost Efficiency
cord offers an excellent return on investment by significantly reducing our cost per hire. With a cost of £600-£800 per hire, compared to the £10,000-£15,000 we would have paid agencies, cord saved us substantial recruitment expenses while delivering high-quality candidates.
