Our Goal
We wanted to hire two developers quickly that matched our company both in terms of technical skills and soft skills.
Our Situation
Finding the right Engineer, and the right person
Previously in our hiring we struggled to find candidates of sufficient quality, that were both the right fit in terms of technical skills and soft skills.
We wanted to have something that allowed us to try and speak to a high number of individuals and really get a feel for who was going to be the right kind of person for our roles, and that's what we found with cord.
Using cord
Sourcing made manageable
Each day we would spend about 10-15 minutes reviewing any new applicants that were in our streams. Rather than having to put a serious amount of time into reviewing a number of CV's that we get through each week, we could do it in short patches each day, and it meant that things seemed to progress and move forward a lot quicker.
Booking calls easily
The integration for booking meetings was fantastic. As with most people, my diary tends to get very full very quickly, and the fact that cord calendar was able to work out if I was available and work out if the individual we were looking to book in with was available - that was fantastic. It made my life so much easier, not having to go back and forth on email to book time in.
Getting the team involved
With the shared message inbox, the rest of my team could see what was going on with our hiring. My Head of Development was involved in the process of recruiting, and he could see all the messages that I had back and forth with individuals, giving him the ability to provide a read or a thought on a particular potential employee.
