View websiteView cord profileOur Goal
We were looking for a tool that would enable us to find candidates matching the niche skills required for our open roles while avoiding intermediaries.
Our Situation
Sourcing the right people at pace
Before discovering cord, we had been using traditional hiring methods such as LinkedIn as well as local hiring platforms in the strategic markets we were planning on expanding to.
We were finding it difficult to identify and source candidates who were qualified for our roles, as profiles wouldn't always be completed and key information would be missing, making the process more time-consuming. As we are expanding our services to cover AI and Cryptocurrency, we needed a tool to help us scale our team accordingly.
Using cord
Information, up-front
Something that really stood out to me was the way in which cord features candidate information on profiles. By making fields mandatory for engineers, cord enabled me to quickly identify key elements from profiles, such as seniority, primary and secondary skills, as well as salary expectations. Having these variables clearly featured from the onset provided a clear source of information to kick off the match-making process.
Highly skilled engineers
cord did a great job at helping us filter through the list of active candidates and find people meeting the exact requirements we were looking for. We were able to find candidates with solid skills matching the requirements we had for our roles, such as PHP and Symfony, which are very in-demand in the tech market.
Having this automatic filtering process helps establish from the beginning whether a candidate is suitable for the role or not.
Engaged & responsive candidates
On cord I've had candidates reach out to me directly, which as a fully remote company, has given us a competitive advantage when sourcing on cord. This was demonstrated through the responsiveness we got from engineers. We've also had candidates reach out to us directly, which makes my work easier. This more proactive approach to the talent search has meant that I've been able to manage my time more efficiently.
Direct access to candidates without intermediaries
As a company, we do not want intermediary parties involved in our hiring process - cord helps us reach out to candidates with no middle person attached. We genuinely care for direct-hiring, and that is why we continue to be on and use cord.
We have actively been promoting cord through our network as we’ve been satisfied with the speed of hire and quality talent pool on there. We also advocate for more engineers to join cord to help spread the word!
