About Bilt Rewards
Bilt Rewards is the first-ever rewards program that allows renters to earn points on rent and builds a path towards homeownership. With an alliance of the nation’s largest real estate owners, Bilt Rewards will enable renters in more than two million units across the country to earn points just by paying rent.
Bilt partnered with Mastercard and Wells Fargo to create the Bilt Mastercard - the first and only credit card that can be used to pay rent with no fees. In September 2021, Bilt announced a $60 million growth round valuing the company at $350 million.

We're looking for developers based in the NY area to fill our Front End, Back End, Product and DevOps roles.
Our Situation
Low response rates, wrong location
Prior to cord we'd used a few recruitment tools, but the mainstay was Linkedin Recruiter. One of the main problems we faced was the low response rate to our outreach, which was typically around 13-15% - it was difficult to find people who were genuinely looking to switch roles.
Even once we started conversations with people that were looking, there were mismatches with people's location preferences - often people weren't willing to relocate to NY despite previously stating they were open to it.
Using cord
Active, responsive engineers
On cord, people are active, which means they're actively looking to switch roles - something which we didn't have visibility on when using other tools.
The 30% positive response rate we get from cord is double what we'd typically see on LinkedIn, this has reduced the amount of outreach we have to do to get the same number of responses back, and saved us time too.
Saving time with automation
Another way cord saves me time is through the parts of my daily process that are automated, with cord, I no longer have to manually look for people to contact, every morning I'm sent new people that match my requirements so I can reach out to them immediately.
Once I've found someone I want to message, I can use a personalised message template to send my outreach in 3 clicks. Just using message templates alone I save around 1-2 hours of admin time per week.
Quality without the extra cost
We made our first hire two months after signing up, the Engineering teams like the new joiner, so the quality of people is evident for us. To add to that, we didn't spend any extra money when making the hire because there are no hiring fees on cord.
