📋 Loop 5: New skillsets

Loop 5: releases, improvements and fixes

🎉 Releases

• New skillsets: cord is now an all-in-one hiring tool for tech companies. You can now hire your whole team in cord: Tech, Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Customer Support, Talent, Finance and Operations. Read more here.

• Diversity Analytics: built diversity analytics dashboard for customers on custom or enterprise plans

• Discourage applications that aren’t right: candidates are strongly discouraged from applying to a position if there isn’t a good match on their primary skills and seniority. Where there is a complete mismatch in visa requirements, the candidate is completely prevented from applying.

• LinkedIn profile building automation: built a Chrome extension to grab information from LinkedIn and add to cord, to save time spent building candidate profiles.

• Pending requests: we now show candidates how many applications are outstanding on every position.

• Top and great fit: where there is a close match between the candidate profile and position they’re messaging about, company users will see “top fit” or “great fit” in their inbox.
