cord is a job search platform that enables everyone to surface relevant positions, make quality applications and manage their job search - all in one place. We believe finding work should be way easier - and that if it was - that more people would be doing their best work.

When you sign up to cord, we actively index every position on the internet so you can surface all the relevant positions you need in one place.

We then help you make higher quality applications. Company profiles highlight key information and position themselves breakdown the skill required and logistics.

Advanced position insights highlight popular skills and breakdown why applications are being rejected.

And the cord CV helps you standardise your profile, optimises your application for applicant tracking systems and beautifully presents your previous experience.

You can then keep track of all your ongoing applications inside your application tracker, replacing clunky spreadsheets with an easy-to-use Kanban board.

When it’s time to negotiate your salary, you can use cord’s salary tool to benchmark your salary against the market - ensuring you know your worth and get paid the right amount.

Alongside all of this - cord also grants messaging access to a limited number of people.
