It s mostly just UK companies hiring remotely within the UK So the fully remote sales line or branding that Cord wants to create is sadly not happening

Incompetent and Ridiculous
I applied for a position advertised on LinkedIn which required me to create a Cord account and which is supposed to extract details from my LinkedIn account CV I then received an automated email saying my profile was declined failed to be verified as it didn t meet the criteria despite being an experienced professional with an exceptionally strong background both in industry and academia based in the UK - 10 journal publications years of experience Ph D and post-doctoral experience This is my first experience of Cord and I am not impressed Update I have now deleted my account after receiving a decline to message a recruiter What an awful and pointless platform LinkedIn already has my details so it s redundant

Don t waste your time with these guys They are using an automated system to sift through the profiles and will ultimately be just another time waste My 2 cents

Unsolicited vague job search spam

Proved no help at all in securing my new role The one company I was interested in simply denied my application with ZERO feedback and from that point you are not able to speak to them on cord I actually opened a dialog with one of the tech leads at the company via linked in who was very interested to speak to me so basically if the HR person on cord doesn t like you it s useless even if the people who actually know what they re talking about would want to speak to you
