The Challenge
Six departments, 40+ hiring managers, each interviewing their own way - incomparable evaluations, compliance exposure, and a candidate experience that varied by which manager you drew. Enterprise AI recruiting software evaluations kept stalling on one question: could any tool handle engineering AND sales AND support hiring on one system?
The Solution
The Cognitive deployed per-department rubrics on one platform: technical rounds for engineering, conversational role-plays for sales, empathy and de-escalation scenarios for support. Every candidate in every department: live AI interview, identical rubric within the role, evidence-linked scorecard synced to the ATS.
The Results
100% of candidates now interviewed under documented, auditable rubrics - the compliance team's requirement, met by default. Time to fill dropped 64% company-wide.
For the first time, a shortlist from any department means the same thing: evidence.
