Targeted sourcing

I’ve been using cord on a daily basis and organising my streams in a short period of time. I can hide profiles in which I’m not interested from my searches and start conversations with potential candidates I’ve shortlisted across streams in which I’ve been tweaking different filters.

Meaningful conversations

cord is very orientated towards the goal of enabling meaningful conversations with candidates. I think that makes it easier both for candidates and for the company that’s recruiting, because the fluid dialogue that starts on cord immediately fosters transparency and makes the conversation happen faster.

Fostering diversity through inclusive hiring

Diversity and inclusion is a very important target for us but it’s sometimes challenging to meet when hiring engineering talent. cord’s filter for underrepresented groups has been useful for us in this regard - once the filter is applied, the pool of candidates gets smaller but profiles are more diverse, which helps us reach our objective.

Strong ROI

When we first started using cord, our initial calculation was that if we made 1 hire per month, we’d have a higher ROI than by using other tools. The return on investment with cord is great, especially when compared to recruitment agencies who charge higher fees per hire.
