Our Goal
We needed a time and cost-efficient tool to engage with quality candidates while increasing the speed of hire to support Perkbox's rapid growth.
Before using cord, we were finding it exceptionally difficult to find candidates, we spent a huge amount of time performing outreach on LinkedIn and our response rates were low. We needed to find a tool to help us tackle this problem as well as help us identify quality candidates easier.
Highly engaged & responsive candidates
We use cord in collaboration with our hiring managers, it's our first port of call with any product & engineering positions. The main thing that surprised us the most was just how often and how quickly people were happy to engage: we get an average response rate of 45% from people, typically within 24-48hrs, sometimes within a couple of hours.
Another element that surprised me about the process of sourcing on cord is that we actually get proactive inbound outreach from high-quality candidates - as a recruiter I’ve never experienced this before, it’s been a real breath of fresh air.
Fast-tracking Tech & Product hiring
The way cord presents information about a candidate makes it really easy to identify straight away whether they’re going to be suitable for the role you’re hiring for.
This cuts out all of the time you end up having conversations about remote options, hybrid policy, etc. Whatever the circumstances of the role you're hiring for are, you’re able to see straight away what a candidate’s looking for, which is a way of fast-tracking sourcing decisions. This means that on average when we log in to cord on a daily basis, we’re only using the tool for around 20-30 minutes.
Fair cost & strong ROI
I’ve definitely recommended cord as of the best places to find Product & Engineering candidates - the price is actually surprisingly low, in my opinion, for the quality of candidates you're able to find.
There are a lot of tech recruitment products on the market that are extremely overpriced - I think that for the quality that cord brings, it is an exceptional product.
