Build me a live dashboard of my hiring desk from The Cognitive.

Read only. Do not run any new search, reveal any contact, send any message or spend any credits. Use only data already in my account.

Title: "Hiring desk · this week". Show when each panel was last refreshed, and keep the queries live so the refresh button updates them.

1. Top row, 4 numbers: open roles; people rated Strong this week across all roles; replies from candidates in the last 7 days; sourcing credits left.

2. Funnel by role: one row per open role, 6 bars: people found (saved to the role), rated Strong, shortlisted by me, messaged, replied, interviewed. Label each bar with its count.

3. Needs you today: a short list of flags, one line each, naming the role:
- people shortlisted but not messaged
- 4 or more people messaged and none replied
- an interview verdict says proceed and the person hasn't moved to a next stage
- no new Strong person on this role in 7 days

4. Replies waiting: candidate replies from the last 7 days, oldest first. Show first name and last initial, the role, the first line of the reply, and hours since it came in.

5. Interview results: completed AI interviews in the last 7 days with the verdict (proceed, manual review, reject) and the overall score. Proceed first.

6. Activity: searches run, contacts revealed, people added to roles and credits used in the last 7 days.

Use first names and last initials only. Keep it to one screen on a laptop.

The dashboard reads your roles, people, outreach and interviews from The Cognitive. Start free and run one search so there's data to show.

What to do when you see it

On the dashboardDo this
A reply has waited more than 24 hoursAnswer it before anything else. If they asked about pay, give the range in the first line.
Shortlisted, nobody messagedMessage them today or pass on them. A shortlist that sits for a week is a search you'll pay for twice.
Found is high, Strong is lowThe brief is pulling the wrong people. Fix the brief line that lets them in. Don't search more.
Found is low and Strong is lowThe market is thin. Widen one thing only: an adjacent title, a neighbour industry or a longer commute.
Messaged a lot, few repliesFix the message before you blame the market. Open with a line from their own profile, give the range, ask for 10 minutes.
Interview says proceed, no next stepBook the manager's slot today. A good person who waits starts answering other recruiters.
Credits running lowSearch deeper only on roles where Strong people keep coming. Reopening a search you already ran is free.
