View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We needed to reduce our average time to hire significantly while maintaining our high hiring standards and controlling recruitment costs as we looked to scale.
Our Situation
High Standards, Slow Hiring
Finding top performers was a challenge, leading to an average hire time of 39 days, with our last Senior Full Stack Developer taking 60 days to hire. Tools like LinkedIn and Otter had slow response times and lacked needed filters, prolonging our recruitment process and delaying our scaling efforts.

High-Quality Candidate Profiles
Our average time to hire was dramatically reduced from 39 days to just 13 days. This rapid hiring process allowed us to scale our team quickly and meet our growth targets without delays.
Cost Savings
We achieved significant cost savings by using cord. Hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer cost us about £600, compared to the £15,000 an agency would have charged. This cost efficiency helped us manage our recruitment budget effectively.
Meeting Diversity Goals
The diversity filter on cord was crucial for meeting our inclusion goals. It enabled us to specifically search for diverse candidates, helping us build a more inclusive engineering team and align with our commitment to building a diverse workplace.
Time Saved Sourcing
The detailed filtering options on cord allowed us to target candidates near our London office and those open to hybrid work. This saved us significant time, as we could focus directly on suitable candidates rather than sifting through irrelevant profiles.
High-Quality Candidate Profiles
Detailed candidate profiles on cord included salary expectations and work preferences. This level of detail enabled us to quickly identify and contact the right candidates, streamlining our hiring process and reducing the time spent on initial screenings.
