"Excellent customer service, user friendly platform."

What do you like best about cord?

The team is available to assist with everything you need. The product itself is excellent and easy to use. It saved me a substantial amount of time in our latest recruitment round. I Like that you can cancel the subscription and re-launch it when it suits you. No contracts, very straightforward process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Too many email notifications are set as default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A brilliantly easy way to source developers"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

It is the easiest sourcing platform that I've used. I love that everything is on the platform - searching, messaging, posting jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Only 2.

1: when someone "replies to" your message declining your offer rather than declines your message from the start and that counts as a 'sourced' person.

2: needs to have an option where you know if someone has unrestricted work rights in a country (and not in need of sponsorship). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The level of transparency (both on the company and candidate side - salary information, technical skills clearly outlined, candidate motivations / expectations)

- Overall calibre of talent is super impressive

"Good platform and feels more refreshing to use!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about cord?

- Being able to receive messages from prospective candidates, rather than it always being the other way around

- Lots of candidates on the platform

- Being able to see your live response rate/time

- Ability to have templates for every type of message and automated follow up messages (very useful and saves a lot of time!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

- Personally feel that the UI and candidate search could be a little cleaner

- Receive tons of notifications from different roles, so a lot of the time candidates for hard to fill roles get lost. Would be great if it wasn't automatically received (i know we can turn it off, but i feel it should be the other way around) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Friction-free, flexible and continuously evolving"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

We have used cord for the past few years and have become huge fans.

cord provides a fantastic platform for businesses and candidates to communicate in a friction-free manner.

The platform is constantly evolving, provides seamless notifications and allows us to find fantastic candidates without paying high recruitment fees.

The ability to pause our subscription when we are not hiring places cord in a class of its own.

We've hired many of our engineering team through the platform and look forward to continuing to use cord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Nothing at all, we are huge fans of the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
