Our Goal
We wanted to find an untapped source of active candidates, particularly for our hard to fill Ruby Engineer positions.
Our Situation
Hard to find active candidates
We had found that for some of our harder to fill skillets we were struggling to find a source of active candidates. Particularly in Ruby, most candidates are passive, which means you rarely get responses from them on LinkedIn and through other channels.
This made sourcing candidates in these skill-sets really time consuming, and often fruitless.
Recommended by peers
I had heard really good things about cord from my colleagues at Talentful, so we decided to give it a go.
Using cord
Contacting candidates directly
cord immediately gave us an untapped resource in the Engineering market. It was really simple to set up and allowed us to contact candidates directly, with all the information about Simply Business up front.

Essentially cord gave us access to actively looking Engineering candidates, which means that you don't need to spends days sourcing. You can just spend 10-15 minutes in the morning sourcing, and let everything else fall into place.
