View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
Our aim when joining cord was to get to an Engineering team-size of 25, doubling our development capacity.
Our Situation
Growing at pace, remotely
We are starting from a relatively small permanent Engineering team of about four permanent engineers, and we want to get to a team size of 25. We are also a 100% remote business, meaning that finding Engineers who are open about whether they would like to work fully remote is essential. For this, we need a sizeable pool of talent.
Using cord
Immediate Engagement
cord gives us a fantastic breadth of talent from all over the world. You can find people by searching for profiles, you can connect with them immediately, you get that immediate sense about what sort of person you’re dealing with, and it really is quite an engaging medium. It’s very, very different from having a recruitment agent in the middle that you have to email every other day.
Searching made simpleWe use role-specific streams in cord to source people we’re interested in. Being able to specify the details of what we’re looking for - level of experience, primary and secondary skillsets, as well searching for underrepresented minorities as part of our diversity sourcing - gives us real control over who we interact with.
More responses, better interactions
I get much stronger response rates than I do on LinkedIn or other channels, and the reason for that is because, while you don’t join LinkedIn specifically to find a job,
youdojoin cord to find a new position. Once we’ve started a conversation with someone, we’re able to gauge how interested they are in our business and the position we’re advertising - you get that human feel compared to conversing through email.
