We were looking for an alternative to Linkedin and inbound applications when hiring for our Front and Back-End Engineer positions.
Our Situation
Fighting the avalanche
Before using cord, we were used traditional hiring methods such as Linkedin and inbound applications on our own website - this strategy resulted in an avalanche of people we didn't have time to sift through ourselves, and in the time we did have, we struggled to find relevant people who would match our requirements.
We needed a tool to help us make quick decisions and reduce the amount of time we spent reviewing people.
Using cord
Moving quickly, straight away
Immediately cord set us up with a focused stream of Engineers that were a close fit to what we were looking for, matching requirements that we had such as salary, primary and secondary technical skills, and remote-working preferences. On top of this, we could see that people were 'active' and ready to switch roles, increasing the likelihood of them wanting to speak to us.
cord presented all the relevant information we needed to make decisions about who was best for us and allowed us to start moving quickly.
Speed via automation
Aside from looking on cord myself, I was notified when someone new that fit our requirements joined cord, meaning I could message them knowing they were likely to respond.
Sending a message to someone was easy, in just a few clicks I could send a personalised message using a pre-built template, including an automated follow-up. On average, 47% of the messages we sent got a positive response back, reducing the time it would take getting people through to the interview stage.
Night and day
Using cord is like night and day compared to how we tried to hire before - the real difference is the pace we were able to move at - we had better quality candidates, set up quicker, without having to worry about hiring fees or the high costs associated with recruitment agencies.
