Breezy HR + The Cognitive Integration
The Cognitive integrates with Breezy HR so AI interviewing and sourcing run alongside the workflow small and growing companies already use: you import active candidates from the Breezy HR stage you choose, invite them to a live AI interview, and write each score, summary and report link back to the candidate as a note. Breezy HR is one of The Cognitive's 60+ ATS integrations, all connected through one unified integration from the dashboard. Your Breezy HR stages and decisions stay yours: the integration never moves or rejects a candidate.
What does the Breezy HR integration do?
- Pull candidates in: a sync imports the active candidates sitting in the Breezy HR stage you select, ready for an AI interview invite.
- Note write-back: for imported candidates who have interviewed, the score, a summary and the report link are written back to Breezy HR as a note, where Breezy HR accepts notes through the integration.
- No automatic stage moves: Breezy HR keeps every stage change and rejection decision; the integration only reads candidates and writes notes.
- Sourcing alongside: The Cognitive also finds people outside Breezy HR across ~900M public profiles; you choose who to contact and interview.
- Follow-up questions: a live conversation probes a vague answer, which a recorded one-way video cannot do.
- No parallel system of record: Breezy HR stays the source of truth; The Cognitive adds the interview and evidence layer.
The Cognitive in a Breezy HR workflow
Breezy HR says "Over 17,000 companies" have chosen it (breezy.hr, read on 3 October 2026), and it advertises positions on 50+ job sites from one place. It also offers one-way candidate video and Breezy Intelligence, an add-on for AI candidate evaluation and interaction summaries. The Cognitive adds a live, two-way AI interview, where the next question depends on the last answer.
Breezy teams usually import from the first screening stage of a position after its ad has run on job sites.
A Breezy one-way video gives candidates up to 5 minutes per response on its Business plan, with no follow-up. The Cognitive's interviewer asks its next question based on what the candidate just said and scores each criterion of the rubric 1 to 5, with overall written feedback, the transcript and the recording. The score, summary and report link go back to the Breezy candidate as a note, and stage moves stay with your team.
How does candidate sourcing get into Breezy HR?
That is the gap The Cognitive's AI sourcing fills. A search brief written in plain English runs across ~900M public profiles with contact details enriched from 30+ sources; the role becomes a durable role pool that keeps everyone each search finds. Each candidate a search returns costs 1 credit, an email reveal 5 and a phone number 10, charged only on a successful reveal, so browsing a search result is cheap and only the shortlist you act on is not. People you source stay in The Cognitive's role pool and are not written into Breezy HR automatically; you decide who to interview and who to add to Breezy HR yourself.
Breezy fills a position from job ads and employee referrals, so its pool is people who applied or were referred. The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles for people who did neither, and your team adds the ones it pursues to Breezy.
How does setup work?
- 1. Connect: the dashboard opens one integration window; select Breezy HR and authorize the connection there.
- 2. Pick the source stage: tell The Cognitive which Breezy HR stage to import active candidates from.
- 3. Sync, invite, write back: run a sync, invite the imported candidates, and push the score and report link back to Breezy HR as a note once they have interviewed.
- Your team keeps every stage move and decision in Breezy HR; the integration reads candidates and writes notes, nothing more.
Why teams add The Cognitive to their ATS
An ATS tracks candidates; it doesn't find or evaluate them. The Cognitive adds both to Breezy HR: sourcing across ~900M public profiles for people who never applied, and a live, two-way AI video interview scored on a fixed rubric, with questions that adapt to each answer. Your team reads the result as a note in Breezy HR. AI Sourcing starts at $49/month and AI Interview at $99/month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Breezy HR have AI interviews?
Breezy HR has one-way candidate video, not a live AI interviewer. Its pricing page lists one-way video screening, with up to 5 minutes per response on the Business plan. The Cognitive adds a live, two-way AI video interview of 10 or 20 minutes where the next question depends on the last answer, for candidates you import from Breezy and invite, with a note written back to each.
Does Breezy HR source candidates outside your applicants?
Not from a profile database. Breezy advertises positions on 50+ job sites with one click and runs employee referrals, so its pool is people who applied or were referred. The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles for people who did neither, and opens each result with a "Why this match" line. Sourced people are not written into Breezy automatically.
What is Breezy Intelligence?
Breezy Intelligence is Breezy HR's AI add-on, described on its pricing page as "AI-powered candidate evaluation, interaction summaries, and resume auditing" and run on credits.
