Taleez + The Cognitive Integration
The Cognitive integrates with Taleez so AI interviewing and sourcing run alongside the workflow French SMBs and mid-sized companies (PME and ETI) already use: you import active candidates from the Taleez 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. Of The Cognitive's 60+ ATS integrations, Taleez is one, connected from the dashboard through one unified integration. Stage moves and decisions stay in Taleez; the integration only reads candidates and writes notes.
What does the Taleez integration do?
- Stage-based import: you choose which Taleez stage feeds The Cognitive, and a sync brings those active candidates in for interview invites.
- Back into Taleez: the score, summary and report link land on the imported candidate as a note, wherever Taleez takes notes through the integration.
- Your decisions stay in Taleez: the integration never changes a candidate's stage and never rejects anyone.
- Outbound too: AI sourcing searches ~900M public profiles for people who never applied, so the pool is not limited to who is already in Taleez.
- Hours back on first calls: a fixed rubric per role, questions that adapt live, and the result as a note in Taleez.
- Nothing forks: Taleez keeps being the source of truth while The Cognitive supplies the interview and evidence layer.
The Cognitive in a Taleez workflow
Taleez opens with "Retrouvez le temps de recruter" (our translation: "get back the time to recruit", taleez.com, read on 3 October 2026) and sells to French PME and ETI. The Cognitive gives back the hours spent on first-round calls with a live, two-way AI video interview in 9 languages.
Taleez teams usually import from the stage where applications have been triaged and first calls would start.
Taleez already has its own CV database and job multiposting, so the time sink it leaves is the first conversation. Candidates you invite book their own slot, and the score, summary and report link come back to Taleez as a note while your team keeps every stage move.
How does candidate sourcing get into Taleez?
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 Taleez automatically; you decide who to interview and who to add to Taleez yourself.
A Taleez CV database holds people who once applied, and a new role often needs someone who never did. The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief, and nothing it finds is written into Taleez automatically.
How does setup work?
- 1. Connect: from The Cognitive dashboard, pick Taleez in the integration window and authorize it with your Taleez admin credentials.
- 2. Choose a stage: pick the Taleez stage whose active candidates should be imported for AI interviews.
- 3. Sync, invite, write back: run a sync, invite the imported candidates, and push the score and report link back to Taleez as a note once they have interviewed.
- Your team keeps every stage move and decision in Taleez; the integration reads candidates and writes notes, nothing more.
Why teams add The Cognitive to their ATS
Tracking candidates is what Taleez does; finding and evaluating them is the gap The Cognitive fills. Search ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief, then invite the people you pick, or the applicants you import from Taleez, to a live AI interview that books itself into their calendar. AI Sourcing starts at $49/month and AI Interview at $99/month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Taleez have AI interviews?
Not as an interviewer. Taleez IA records the interviews your recruiters run, by video or in person, then transcribes and summarises them into the candidate file (taleez.com, read on 3 October 2026). The Cognitive runs the first-round interview itself: a live, two-way AI video interview of 10 or 20 minutes in 9 languages, and the invitation tells candidates the interview is run by AI.
Does Taleez source candidates outside your applicants?
Through an extension. Taleez says its extension and automatic parsing add any web profile to your CV database without manual entry, and its AI suggests matching people already in that database (our translation, taleez.com, read on 3 October 2026). The Cognitive searches ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief, and nothing it finds is written into Taleez automatically.
Is Taleez an ATS or an SIRH?
Taleez is an ATS. Its own site separates the two: an ATS handles job posting, applications and team hiring, while an SIRH covers the whole employee lifecycle once someone has joined (our paraphrase, taleez.com, read on 3 October 2026). The Cognitive works at the first-round step of that ATS process and returns a note with the score, summary and report link to Taleez.
Does The Cognitive integrate with Taleez?
Yes. Candidates in your chosen Taleez stage are imported on sync, invited to a live AI interview, and their score and report link are added back in Taleez as a note. Taleez is one of 60+ ATS integrations The Cognitive offers.
Can The Cognitive source candidates into Taleez?
The Cognitive sources candidates alongside Taleez: it searches ~900M public profiles from a plain-English brief and enriches contact details from 30+ sources. Sourced people stay in The Cognitive's role pool and are not written into Taleez automatically. Search results cost 1 credit per candidate returned; an email reveal costs 5 credits and a phone number 10, charged only on a successful reveal.
Which Taleez stage should feed AI interviews?
Taleez teams usually import from the stage where applications have been triaged and first calls would start. You choose the source stage in The Cognitive, each role can use its own rubric, and every decision after the interview stays with your team in Taleez.
Do I need engineering help to connect Taleez?
No engineering is needed: an Taleez admin authorizes the connection from The Cognitive dashboard and picks the source stage.
Which plans include ATS integration?
ATS integration comes with the Scale and Pro interview plans. Plans are monthly, and you can cancel anytime.
