cord Reviews & Product Details

Cord allowed us the ability to find quality tech candidates in a short amount of time with minimal investment. I highly recommend using the tool to source candidates for any tech role. If a candidate ghosted us, Cord always gladly gave us back the credit in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the downsides can be active candidates reaching out that may not be the right fit, this conundrum is true for any TA professional posting a role though, it is not a significant dislike just the only one we faced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a number of aspects that set Cord.co apart from other platforms. Cord is more tailored to all things Tech, and the strength of the engineering candidate pool is high. Plus, the platform enables you to see how engaged the members are, so you don’t have to worry about time spent reaching out to people who may no longer be on the market.

Phone numbers aren't always included in a candidate's profile or resume when they apply. On several occasions, I've started calling a candidate for a previously scheduled phone screen only to realize that I don't have their number, which is embarrassing and usually leads to rescheduling.

Cord provides information about candidates' expected salary, what job type they are looking for and what are their primary skills, as well as what they are using the most. It is really helpful when it comes to searching and building up a pipeline. The number of search results is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User experience is top-notch. When you think of recruitment software, user experience is typically at the back of their priorities. But Cord has really designed a simple, intuitive UX.

I also love that the platform is based around messaging - not submit your CV and wait 2 weeks for a response email. Cord feels more personal, more human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord is still relatively new, so, as a recruiter, I would love for there to be more candidates in the pool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it shows their right to work eligibility, their salary expectations, their willingness to work on-site or hybrid, and the fact that they actually respond to our messages! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want or hiring managers to be able to do some sourcing, if they wish to, without sharing my log-in details with them. Allow us to set them up as users and narrow the field of what they can see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to review potential candidates and contact them directly was a great experience as a Hiring Manager - it allowed me to really fine-tune what I was looking for in our team.

The diversity filtering tools were also really useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The staleness of data - candidate availability wasn't updated (a hard problem to solve!). The vast majority of candidates I liked were already in new roles by the time I created my search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
