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. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn if you'd like to verify anything in this review.

It is the easiest sourcing platform that I've used. I love that everything is on the platform - searching, messaging, posting jobs.

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.
