Our Goal
Codat is continually trying to grow at a fast pace - when we joined cord in 2019, we were looking for a tool that would continually support our hiring needs, while tackling problems such as low response rates to our outreach.
Our Situation
One of the biggest bugbears for any recruiter is the admin side of the hiring process. We want to reduce as many blockers to get things moving and connect potential candidates to one of our engineers for an initial chat as quickly as possible.
On LinkedIn this requires a back and forth to decipher whether someone is actually looking for another role, whether they have the right skills, and relaying other information such as sending CVs.
We joined cord to avoid these admin problems and help us run our hiring process in a way that works for us.
Using cord
Easy to build talent pipeline
On cord, candidate streams are super easy to build. As we have a lot of recurring roles, being able to build up an engineer pipeline that we can keep going back to (that is also refreshed continually as new people join cord) enables us to keep accessing the very best talent. It’s a really useful product feature and a massive time-saver for us.
High quality and diverse hires
The hires we made on cord have been phenomenal. Interestingly, they all have a really diverse set of experience and backgrounds, from junior-level engineers with a year of experience right through to Engineering Managers and Senior QA engineers.
cord really does cover the full spectrum in terms of experience, featuring really high-quality people with a range of skills.
Streamlining the interview process
When posting roles, cord allows you to include as much detailed information about the role as you wish. Being able to display the job description and salary banding as part of the job title when reaching out to someone has been hugely useful and impactful. cord has enables us to streamline our interview process and make it slick. It’s also made our internal talent team feel more empowered to work really closely with stakeholders and make hires quicker.
