Our Goal

We needed to streamline our hiring process and make sure we were only talking to relevant, quality candidates.

Our Situation
Overwhelming and Inefficient Candidate Sourcing
Agencies sent a constant stream of irrelevant candidates to sift through and talk to, making it impossible to get work done. Job boards attracted hundreds of applicants who knew nothing about our company, resulting in many low-quality applications. The process was overwhelming and inefficient, wasting valuable time and effort.
Using cord
Enhanced Candidate Fit
Our company page on cord provided comprehensive information about Aqovia, including our mission, benefits, and available positions. This transparency helped candidates understand us better, leading to applications from those aligned with our values and improving applicant quality.

High-Quality Inbound Applications
The inbound application feature on cord ensured we received relevant and interested candidates. I didn’t have to spend time sourcing, as these candidates approached me and initiated meaningful conversations. As a result, we hired two software engineers in less than 30 days.

Significant Cost Savings
Using cord significantly cut our recruitment costs. Hiring through an agency would have cost around £8,500 per person. With cord, we reduced our recruitment expenses by about 90%, freeing up resources for other business areas.

Centralised Recruitment
cord provided a centralised platform for all our recruitment needs, eliminating the hassle of coordinating with multiple agencies and sifting through irrelevant candidates. This streamlined process allowed us to manage all our hiring directly in one place.

Our Result

Using cord, we hired two software engineers in less than 30 days and saved 90% on recruitment costs.
