cord Reviews & Product Details

Cord is brilliant, I used it in my previous role and implemented it in my new position at usergems. 1 of the great things about it is, no agency recruiters have access to it. Another great thing is the great pool of candidates, we hired 4 to our engineering team in 2 months from cord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only fault I can say is the majority of candidates in my streams were from the UK, it would have been nice to have a wider range of candidates around Europe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord has fantastic search capabilities and the outreach to candidates is far better than other platforms myself and others in VIOOH have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord doesn't have a general search capability. Only the ability to search on open jobs. Also would be good to have a salary benchmarking tool for tech hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy the platform is to navigate. it's very user friendly and thorough for recruiters when making specific searches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the archived and un-archived button was a little complex to find Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord has a fantastic UI and is very easy to use (great to use the app on the phone too). We have found candidates on the platform that we otherwise would have not come across. Return on investment was made within a short period of time, whilst filling some hard to fill/ niche positions along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike- but they can potentially help with filtering certain things better ie. sponsorship candidates/ remote-only candidates coming up when you have made clear that is not what you are looking for. I have also found recruitment agencies on here looking for leads, so feel like they can do better on cracking down on this too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cord is very focused and useful. The candidate pool is chock full of real job seekers who are actively looking and ready to change jobs - no lurkers or window shoppers. The database is easy to search, and the messaging system works great for conversing with candidates. In only three days, I quickly had a dozen candidates to review. Either I messaged candidates I picked, new candidates reached out to me, or cord suggested more candidates for me based on skills matching. For the job seekers: Remember when you were looking for a job on Indeed, and there were 859 candidates in the first 15 minutes? ...and the job was brand new on Indeed, but when visiting the company's website, the job was already five weeks old? Yeah... cord is nothing like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't consider this a bad thing, but cord is also not a place for hiring companies to be indecisive or wishy-washy. The candidates on cord are actively looking for work and ready to commit. The same should be true for the hiring companies. The Customer Success Managers at cord check in frequently and make sure the hiring parties are actively recruiting for the positions they are trying to fill.

I really like how user-friendly Cord is to use. I managed to get set up and up and running in no time. I managed to make some excellent frontend engineer hires on Cord. The quality and response rate compared to LinkedIn is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really anything I dislike but it might be useful in the future to be able to do a radius search from a postcode rather than having to select the cities which can make it harder to search for hybrid candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good candidates with profiles that are easy to read and qualify quickly. Also proactive candidates on there with high response rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to have projects to save candidates in for the future rather than just one save function for all candidates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great messaging UI and functionality. The ability to set up automated follow-up messages makes multiple touch-point campaigns really easy and isn't something other major competitors do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote and London-based roles only, so as a non-London-based company we can only use it for our remote roles, which is frustrating. Cord's Customer success teams could be more engaged. They're responsive when it comes to sorting problems and handling specific requests, but there's not a lot of proactivity in terms of making sure you're getting the best out of the product.

Cord allows me access to active talent with relevant skills across our main three disciplines: Software Engineering, Product and Design. It enables me to close roles within three to four weeks as the talent on the platform is actively looking and can get a good insight into our company's offering before moving forward with a screen call.

The talent pool is slightly smaller when hiring for more niche roles as fewer people are on Cord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
