Recruitment Funnel Conversion Rates by Stage
Why traditional hiring funnels lose top candidates, and a 7-day system to source, interview, and offer using AI screening and live adaptive interviews.
Who this is for
This is a free resource for recruiters, founders and hiring managers who are running a search now rather than reading about one later. It is a download: read it, or skip it and use the product it came out of.
Where it came from
The Cognitive is AI recruiting software that sources candidates, runs live AI interviews and returns evidence-scored shortlists. Everything published here is drawn from the hiring problems the product was built around - finding people who never applied, reaching them, and judging them the same way - so the resource and the software argue the same thing.
Try it instead of reading about it
Every account starts free on the whole platform: 100 sourcing credits - enough for 20 verified emails or 20 searches - plus 2 live AI interviews. 1 credit per candidate a search returns, 5 to reveal an email, 10 to reveal a phone number. Interview plans start at $99/month and sourcing plans at $49/month.
