"An excellent product for tech hiring"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

There are a lot of things but the headline aspect is Cord helped us hire great talent at quick pace with a seemless process. The platform is easy to use and you are speaking to people who are looking for jobs so it takes out that challenge. The customer support team is also excellent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

It's hard to name any, you pay a good price and get a great service from the product so a 10/10 for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Access to talent pool"
3.5/5
What do you like best about cord?

I love that you have access to a bigger pool of talent. Rather than reaching out to talents, talent can reach out and express their interest in a role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Seems a lot of profiles are on the software engineering side, with little profiles in the other IT aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best hiring platforms out there"
4.5/5
What do you like best about cord?

- The ability to reach (and be reached by) highly engaged and relevant candidates across a wide spectrum of areas.

- An excellent sourcing tool with a high degree of customisation.

- Employer branding features

- Reasonable pricing

- Great CS and AM teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

- You won't get the kind of volume of applications that some other hiring platforms can provide, but on Cord the focus is on quality and relevance to the role you're looking to fill. The team are working on this and recently opened the platform up to non-technical roles to provide even more value to companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cord helped me replace a key team member quicker than I had ever managed before"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

- The messaging UX makes it simple to communicate, arrange interviews and meet great candidates quickly

- We have little need for other systems as everything can be managed in Cord

- The bias filters (blanking pictures and names) helps us take a more consciously unbiased view of the market

- We have lots of active and relevant candidates applying soon after posting an ad

- The job ad format allows us to express our role and organisation in an inclusive way using a language and format that we've adapted over years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

- We sometimes have to hire on a 2-year fixed-term basis because of the way we are funded as a non-profit but Cord doesn't allow these roles as they are classified as contract roles

- As it is frictionless to organise an initial screening interview, this is often helpful, but the downside is that we've had numerous candidates simply not turn up and then not reply. The system should have some sort of disincentive for candidates to help prevent this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, everything was exactly what I needed and I have 0 complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love the platform"
5/5
What do you like best about cord?

Really efficient and effective source of talent. My conversion ratios are roughly 7:1, which is far more efficient than some of the more expensive platforms out there. Really great interface, easily usable and great competitor insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

The AI feature can be quite slow. I find searches can be limited, it would be great to have some more search filters, and to be able to be a bit more targeted despite the boolean function,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Candidate Management & Workflow"
4/5
What do you like best about cord?

I like the ease of handling large quantities of applicants which makes my life much easier. The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate so I didn't have to spend a lot of time "training". Customer support has been amazing and every time I've attended a research session my feedback was valued and actually implemented which was amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about cord?

Having to undo a decline to continue messaging them is sometimes a bit disruptive to my workflow. I'd like to give feedback to rejected candidates after having rejected them without having to "undo" it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
