The Cognitive

10 candidates before the ad was approved

Job ads wait for approval. The people who can do the job don't need one. This is one real search: the exact brief, what came back, and what to do with it on the same day.

01 · The brief

One sentence, typed as written

Senior Account Executive selling B2B software to mid-market companies, new business (not renewals), 4+ years carrying a quota, based in Austin, Texas or nearby.

No job description, no codes. It describes the work (new business, B2B software, mid-market), one hard limit (4+ years carrying a quota) and the place.

Real people from one search. Names and employers hidden here; in the app you see the full profile, the reason for the mark, and email and phone.

Look at row 6. The title says "Product Specialist", not Account Executive. A title search would have missed this person.

What to do while the ad is still waiting

Send the top 5 to the manager

Ask for a yes or no on each and one sentence why. Ten minutes of their time, and every "no, because" sharpens the search.

Contact the Strong ones

Get email and phone for the people the manager liked. One fact about their work, the role, the pay range, a short question.

Ask for more of the right kind

Type what the manager said: "more people from sales software companies", "commercial segment only". The next page follows it.

Run yours before your ad is approved

Type the role the way you'd describe it to a colleague. You get people who already do the job, ranked with a reason, with email and phone.
