Hiring is broken. Everyone knows it.

Recruiters source 100 candidates. Engineers interview 20. Hire 1.

Those 19 rejections? Hours of engineer time. Weeks of scheduling. Candidates stuck waiting for a "no."

Meanwhile, your best applicants took offers from whoever moved fastest.

We built The Cognitive to fix the middle of the funnel - where everything slows down.

What we do:

An AI that conducts live video interviews. Not async recordings. Not chatbots. Real conversations with follow-up questions based on what candidates actually say.

Candidates interview when they want - 10pm, Sunday morning, doesn't matter.

Hiring managers wake up to scorecards with evidence. Not calendars full of screens.

How it works:

→ Candidate gets invite
→ Interviews in 15-20 minutes (on their schedule)
→ AI generates feedback with scores, timestamps, and quotes
→ Your team reviews results and decides who moves forward

No engineer time wasted until the final round.

Who we help:

Scaling tech teams tired of 60-day hiring cycles. Companies where engineers are doing too many interviews. Talent teams buried in volume with no way to screen faster.
