Cohord launched a new contractor platform.

Cohord sits at the intersection of human judgement and AI sophistication. The best contractors are hidden in plain sight. They're paywalled by recruiters, gatekept by non-solicitation contracts, or lost in a network that went out of date the moment the project ended. Access is the problem. We're building a better way for businesses to find, keep hold of and rehire the contractors they rate. Search the way you'd describe it. CO1 is our search engine, trained by experienced contract recruiters to think past keywords. Tell it who you need, when, and at what rate. It surfaces the people who fit, with the context a CV never shows. Build a living bench Your bench is yours. Availability, rates and new experience stay current as they change, so what you're looking at is real time rather than a snapshot from six months ago. And for the work you can already see coming, build the bench before you need it. A human has met everyone on it. This is the half that can't be automated. Every contractor is interviewed by one of our team and reviewed by a previous hiring manager before they join. No self-certification, no profiles vouching for themselves. Cohord goes live on 7 September 2026.
