Not all ATS's can be integrated which can make it time consuming when actively hiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really good value in comparison to job boards and agencies, and is very intuitive to use - it is easy! The onboarding was also very thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No particular dislikes, just a couple of functions I didn't realise it had (like Diversity), so would be good to add that to the training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a startup/scaleup business, we do not have endless funds to throw at annual subscriptions that we may or may not use. A monthly cost works fantastically for the immediate need and no more, so there's no waste.

The UI/UX is brilliant and intuitive (I am notoriously non-techy so if I can find it easy, anyone can!), allowing maximum outreach for minimum effort.

Finally - and most importantly -the calibre and diversity of candidates (and their responsiveness) is exceptional.

As a two-sided marketplace Cord has nailed it. Candidates are obviously getting plenty of contact from companies as they are regularly active and therefore as a business we were getting timely replies from an excellent quantity of candidates we;d reached out to.

I am passionate about tech diversity, particularly from a gender perspective in a male-dominated category like tech and Cord single-handedly ensured that we had female representation in final interview for each of the three roles we were recruiting for.

If you are reading this, trust me when I say that I met with people from lots of different potential solutions, from agencies, communities and job boards and I don't for a second regret choosing Cord. It was everything it was promised to be and I will not hesitate to contact them again when we next have resourcing needs.

It isn't a dislike at all, but an important highlight:

Cord fills your top of funnel brilliantly but be aware that you need to then have designated resources to handle that. Both administratively and from the recruiting perspective (eg screening, understanding risk, candidate motivations etc...

I pretty much dedicated the entire month we had with Cord to do this alongside a colleague who was managing our in-house ATS and it worked perfectly, but without the commitment to supplementary resources you risk wasting the money you have spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord is the most useful and easiest to navigate, when it comes to sourcing talent. I love gow easy and friendly the interface is and all the features built onto the platforms are fab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven't found a thing that I dislike to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool and helps to pipeline efficiently..

The only thing (like all platforms) can be a little hit and miss in the quality of candidates skills vs what's on the cv Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After being completely stunned to learn that recruiters now charge up to 25% in fees 😠 I decided to restart my Cord subscription.

I can only speak for early-stage UK founders/start-ups, but if you are in the process of hiring engineers, then I highly recommend using https://cord.co.

The platform has improved drastically since we last used it 15 months ago. It feels like Cord is now vetting engineers before allowing them to join the platform, which has meant the calibre of candidates has vastly improved!

They have also created some cool and efficient quick-access features for finding talented engineers, so it saves even more time. 👍

Plus, it costs 1/20th of the recruiter fees! Highly recommend the platform. Keep it up, Cord team, smashing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do get some candidates messaging me outside of the location I want to recruit for.

It isn't possible to filter by funding stage in streams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Direct messaging-based engagement with candidates drives candidate buy-in and offers great opportunities for nurturing engagement through to a decision point. I can gain a much clearer idea of which candidates are likely to stay the course versus those who will drop out of the pipeline, enabling me to prioritise my attention well. Further, the cost model is perfect for a growing organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really is nothing to dislike. Cord provides a terrific experience end to end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord is one of the best and most modern Job Boards in the market. Not only it is a complete tool, but it also has a lot of automation to easily communicated and provide feedback to candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cord was focused solely on Tech Hiring and was not available for other Business roles. That being said, they recently implemented the option to add all types of roles, so I think it become a pretty complete tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very intuitive platfrom - even for people who aren't super familiar with developer languages. My co-founder and I were really intimidated by the hiring process because we aren't techies ourselves, but cord made it super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the actual design could do with a bit of an update. It looks a little bit clunky (even though it is easy to use). The actual design and branding could be a bit more competitive with slicker-looking platforms like Otta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
