Our Goal

We needed a new channel to discover quality Engineers in London that were looking for permanent work, rather than contracts.

Our Situation
Trying to get our voice heard In London, there are a lot of quality Engineers looking for work, but there is also a lot of competition between companies to hire them. Lot's of companies advertise that they're working with the latest technologies on an industry-leading product which makes standing out from the crowd difficult. Losing time Sometimes we struggle with speed to hire. We try to move forward as quickly, keeping our recruitment process as simple as possible but splitting time between people and recruiting new talent means when I am busy, we struggle with speed of hire, having to rely on recruitment agencies occasionally.
Using cord
Boosting our Employer Brand Being able to communicate our brand effectively through our cord profile has really helped with candidate engagement. I can share photos of the business, add pictures of our office and the team. I'm able to communicate all the information that candidates need, giving them an insight into us as a business before they initially reach out. Speed and ease With cord's integrations with Slack and Google Calendar, I can move quickly - I get notifications in slack when relevant candidates join cord, from there I can reach out with custom message-templates and have candidates book into my calendar for screening calls easily. Both of those features save me so much time.
The quickest turn-around we've had has been 48 hrs - we had a cord candidate go from initial message to contract signed and start-date confirmed within two days. These time savings have drastically reduced our reliance on recruitment agencies improving our cost per hire and time to hire.

Our Result

We made several hires using cord, all while improving our cost per hire and speed of hire.
