The Cognitive
Your tool vs. The Cognitive
Run one hard role through the tool you use today and through The Cognitive. Same role, same day, same rules. Then score both on what matters: how many people you'd actually message, how relevant they are, and how many you'd never have found.
The rules
Set these before you start, so neither tool gets an easy ride.
Same role, written once
Write the role before you open either tool. Don't tweak it for one side.
Same day
Run both within the same hour. Markets move; a fair test doesn't wait a week.
Count only people you'd message
Not "close enough". Would you send this person a note today? Yes or no.
Open the profile
A match only counts if the reason holds up when you read their actual profile.
Look at the first 25
Score the top 25 from each tool. That's what a busy recruiter really reads.
Time it
Start the clock when you open the tool. Stop it when you have 10 people you'd message.
Five hard roles, ready to paste
Use your own hardest role if you have one. If not, pick one of these. Each is hard for a different reason.
The scorecard
Type your numbers. It works out the winner per row and overall.
| What you count | Your tool | The Cognitive | Winner |
