About JUXT

We are a privately owned consultancy whose aim is to deliver high-quality IT systems that meet challenging business objectives. We build applications and platforms from the world's busiest websites to complex financial systems. Teamwork is at the heart of our culture, our internal knowledge sharing and collaborative culture are what allow us to deliver as efficiently as we do. Our mission is to unlock the potential of software to expand human horizons.

Our values include: Vision, Authenticity, Leverage, Understanding, Excellence, and Simplicity. Technology is a fast moving industry, susceptible to fads and fashions. But we prefer to make conservative decisions that optimise the longer-term. We are honest. We have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the systems we build and support. We are self-reliant and able to speak from the facts.

Rather than picking 'the best tool for the job', we choose to master a small number of powerful and composable tools, applicable in a broad range of situations. We take time to understand a problem or domain in depth, rather than jumping to quick fixes and rushing to a temporary solution.

We strive to meet the highest standards in ourselves and our creations. We meet deadlines, respect budgets, communicate clearly, and deliver the highest-quality software. We take time to untangle separate concerns. We erect defences against the creeping complexity that starves projects of their agility. Simplicity underpins all the values above.

Our Goal

We joined cord to scale our Product & Engineering teams searching as it features greater quality developers and is tailored for internal hiring teams and their stakeholders.

Our Situation

At JUXT, engineering hiring was conducted through traditional tools such as LinkedIn and Indeed, but we were having a hard time capturing quality talent and finding engineers with the right set of skills, as well as finding and engaging with responsive candidates.

Using cord

User friendly interface cord’s UX/UI is very user friendly helping us make our sourcing process more efficient. The data featured on candidate profiles provides further transparency - we could see when a person was online and view their average response time across the usage of cord.

When setting up different streams for our roles, we’d target people with an active status, indicating that they are diligently looking for a new career opportunity in engineering or product roles.

Having direct access to active candidates and getting visibility on those who are passively using the tool has helped us structure our outreach and save a significant amount of time on sourcing. Proactive and responsive candidates A great thing about cord is that candidates are proactive and reach out to you directly, you do not have to be the one always starting the conversation to find quality talent.

I sent out 100+ messages to engineers but also received nearly 90 inbound messages regarding one of the roles we were hiring for. On average, 80% of the engineers we reached out to on cord have responded to our messages within a few hours. Starting meaningful conversations, expanding our network Beyond the hires we made through cord, I found the conversations I had with engineers meaningful and I was able to connect with really interesting people open to staying in touch in case they are interested and fit the requirements for a role at JUXT in the future.

Our Result

We made 2 hires on cord and started 69 conversations with potential candidates regarding one of our roles.
