"I can't explain how good cord is, if people haven't already used it, they should. You see results from day one. There are so many hiring tools out there, but for me, cord has nailed it - the price, the ease of use, the quality of Engineers, it's a must-use. "

View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
I joined Flexciton 2 years ago with the goal of growing out the tech team, we were a company of 12 employees struggling to get people engaged with our brand.
Our Situation
Getting lost in the noise
As a small start-up with limited branding, we've previously struggled to get people engaged with what we're doing and into our hiring pipeline. In the past, we'd post job ads but candidates weren't applying. What we needed was the ability to showcase our brand and to connect with people who were actively looking for work.
cord looked like it had the solutions to our problems - boosting our employer brand and giving us access to high-quality engaged Engineers who were actively looking for work for a company like ours.
Working smarter, not harder
Recruiting on Linkedin can be very inefficient, especially if you're an earlier stage company without a recognised brand name. Searching and filtering through candidates can be time-consuming, you send out inmails hoping for a response but small companies get lost in all the noise.
Using cord
Getting engagement in our start-up from Engineers
cord helped us overcome the problem of engagement. Engineers on cord are actively looking for work and interested in technology companies like ours. Most people we message respond. I'm able to do all of my daily hiring in 30 minutes - it's so efficient.
My team keep asking me where I find all of the great quality Engineers that join us and what my secret is - it's cord, it makes me looks so good at my job.
Making life easy
A lot of recruiters solely use Linkedin as their hiring tool - I think they should use cord as their only tool instead. If you want to make your life easy, it's something you must use.
Many things can make hiring laborious - typing out the same message multiple times a day, constantly having to check if there are any new candidates on job boards. cord allows me to avoid this, I get auto-filling message templates, integrations with my ATS and calendar - I even get notifications in slack when new Engineers that match my roles sign up.
