Our Goal
We were looking to add volume to our hiring pipeline without sacrificing on quality.
Our Situation
Searching for Volume and Quality
Before cord as part of our typical hiring process, we would use job boards - quite a generic method of finding candidates. Using this process, we weren't finding the right type of candidates for our roles - they were few and far between. When trying to use sources like Linkedin, it was easy to find a high volume of candidates, but the response rate massively reduced how many candidates ended up in our process.Using cord
Instant Volume
When we joined cord, we were certainly expecting to increase the volume in our candidate pipeline, and that's exactly what happened pretty much from day one.
The activity has increased, at least x3 with regards to what we had in the pipeline before cord. Comparing our pipeline from before cord to now, it's like night and day.
Educated and engaged Engineers
Engineers on cord are ready to go - they're actually more engaged than any other job-board that I've ever used. With 37% of the messages we sent resulting in a positive response, it meant that over one third of our messages were likely to convert to interviews.
Engineers get much better visibility on who we are as a business - by the time we're speaking they have a really good knowledge of us because they've been able to see our company profile, all of the details about our positions and what we're able to offer.
When it comes to conversing with Engineers, the speed of response is pretty much instant - nine times out of ten you get a response, certainly within 24 hours, sometimes within the same hour you sent the message.
