5/5
What do you like best about cord?

The design of the tool and how intuitive it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Direct Access to Tech Candidates for Straightforward Hires"
4.5/5
What do you like best about cord?

the interface is very simple and generally easy to use, and bypassing agencies for direct comms with good candidates via a dedicated space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

There are a lot less available profiles available for niche roles. Some of the functionality isn't user friendly, such as having to click past loads of previous saved searches to get to your most current one - this would be far quicker as a drop-down list for you to choose from.

"Simple, vetted streams of qualified candidates and easy messaging."
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

Verified engineering candidates presented in an information-dense way without the ridiculous costs of competing platforms. Cord seems to hit that sweet spot between vetting and value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Rules around number of candidates sourced are a little strict, although the team does try to help ensure success. The salary information from the candidates could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cord is a Game Changer for Sourcing hard to find talent"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

The quality of candidates are amazing, most of them have the skill sets they say they have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

I would say the price is the least attractive part, it's very expensive. Also, there is no free trial, so I was quite hesitant to give it a try but was definitely happy once I signed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for automating some of the recruitment process"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

I like the efficient interface which allows me to quickly go through the suggested profiles that cord recommends. While the profiles are not always progressed, I am regularly impressed with the caliber of candidate that is put forwards with several of them making it to our interview rounds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

The email notifications can be excessive. I know I can change the mail notifications, but it would be beneficial to have a pause role button or toggle that would allow emails to be paused when the role is not live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New to Cord"
3.5/5
What do you like best about cord?

Easy to get set up. The platform is easy to use and posting jobs is pretty straightforward. Customer service are quick to get back if you have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Candidates don't always respond. Get contacted a lot from candidates based abroad. Have to keep responding to all candidates or your response rating falls. Would like a lot more options to filter candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
