I like the fact candidates come to you with a genuine interest in the advert/roles they have seen.
The messaging makes it easy to correspond with canddiates and you can see all there expectations easily, in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No functionoality to turn off applications from certain areas that (sadly) we cannot hire from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a broad pool of talent, that is responsive and actively looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Competition is, unsurprisingly, very high - candidates don't stay on there for very long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Meaningful interactions with candidates and there is a good mix of candidates from diverse backgrounds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unable to advertise contract roles and not great for non tech roles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has made sourcing great talent so much easier in my role, with both inbound applications and outbound sourcing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you don't manage the positions and your time effectively you can find yourself overwhelmed with applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The diversity side of Cord is gold and there are no other platform who is able to offer that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Too many profiles come up that are not really upto my search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use other platforms such as LinkedIn, job boards and our networks but cord is definitely our highest response rate, as typically we would get a response in the same day as reaching out to them. Even better is the candidates can see your company profile on Cord and if they like what they see, they can approach you directly, that already is powerful as they show a genuine interest in your company and product.

You can search by underrepresented area’s such as females, especially in engineering this is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Good search filters
- Easy to set up and get going
- Easy to contact candidates and to manage the inbox (archive function very useful, pre-made templates, etc.)
- Hired 4 people in 6 months using cord - highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Like any recruiting platform you need to put in the time, the best candidates are the ones that you find and reach out to and not the ones that reach out to you
- It would be good to have different messaging threads for different roles as if you are recruiting for several roles at once the inbox can get pretty wild
- The messaging system is quite limited and you cannot add attachments, when we sent technical assessments, we used email but then the comms continued on cord so it was difficult to manage
- Overall cord tries to be a messaging tool and an ATS in the same time and it's quite poor at the latter - in the same time they recommend keeping all comms through cord, hence if they also had an in-built ATS it would be much stronger Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Easy to you interface including many messaging templates and automations
- Active candidates are super responsive and are genuinely interested
- Good spread of diverse candidates
- Interview scheduler
- Salary benchmarking tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
