View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
As a global digital transformation consultancy, we were in search of a tool that would allow us to add to our pipeline in order to support the large volume of roles we have open across 50 countries.
Our Situation
Shortly after joining NTT Data, we had a large requirement for a variety of Developers, particularly those skilled in Java, React and Angular. I found that the more traditional tools that we were using, such as LinkedIn and job boards, were rigid and slow moving. We also found it hard to differentiate between people who were looking for permanent and contract roles.
We tried similar tools to cord but found they required a significant amount of admin which impacted the duration of our sourcing process. We joined cord looking for an easier and faster alternative to source quality engineers.
Using cord
Quality, active engineers
cord is part of my daily routine as a hiring manager, I use it everyday to find and contact people that fit our open roles. One of the main benefits I get from cord is access to an active pool of candidates - because Engineers on cord are actively looking to switch roles, I’m much more likely to get a positive response back when compared to cold-outreach on LinkedIn. cord also provides me with peace of mind when it comes to candidate quality as engineer profiles are verified when they sign up, this means that when I conduct a search with specific criteria, I know all of the people I'm presented with are relevant.
Another benefit of quality, active candidates is that I can move at pace when we have an urgent hiring requirement, whenever a request comes in from a hiring manager, I'm quickly able to find and message people that fit the requirement.
Sourcing, simpler
cord makes sourcing people with specific technical skills easier to understand from a recruitment standpoint as I have all the information I need to make an informed sourcing decision and have a targeted and efficient approach to hiring. I'm able to see people's primary and secondary skills, salary expectations, previous experience, remote working preferences and visa requirements.
For each of my live positions, I get an accompanying custom built stream of engineers that fit the criteria I'm looking for. I'm able to update and revise my stream filters accordingly, as well as invite other team members to consult and review profiles alongside me. Reaching out to candidates is as simple as using one of our pre-built message templates which can be personalised and feature an automated follow-up.
