HR Use Cases

Candidate Re-Engagement Pipeline

Your next great hire may already be in your talent pool. Let AI identify, reach, and warm up past candidates before you post a new role.

The Talent Pool Most Teams Leave Untouched

Silver Medalists Forgotten After Closing
Candidates who made it to final rounds and weren't hired represent proven quality — but most companies never contact them again when a relevant role opens.
Sourcing Costs That Keep Climbing
Posting every role fresh, paying for job board visibility, and starting screening from zero adds up. The pipeline you already built is an underused asset.
Cold Outreach That Feels Generic
When re-engagement does happen, it's often a blanket email that reads like a mass marketing campaign, and candidates can tell.

How It Works

scheme
icon
Role Match Trigger
When a new position opens, CogniAgent scans your existing candidate database and identifies profiles that match the role's criteria — experience, skills, location, and salary range.
icon
Personalised Outreach Sequence
Each matched candidate receives a tailored first message that references their previous interaction with your company and the specific role they're being considered for.
icon
Multi-Touch Follow-Up
If there's no response, the agent follows up via a secondary channel (SMS, LinkedIn, or a second email) after a configured interval, without spamming.
icon
Interest Scoring
Responses are analysed for engagement level. Candidates who click, reply, or complete a short interest form are scored and prioritised in the recruiter queue.
icon
Updated Profile Capture
Interested candidates are prompted to confirm or update their current role, availability, and preferences, so recruiters work with fresh data, not a two-year-old CV.

Warm Recruiter Handoff
Candidates who express clear interest are handed off to a recruiter with a full context summary — conversation history, updated profile, and match score included.

Warm Handoff Summary for Recruiters

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1
Connect your ATS or candidate database so CogniAgent can scan historical profiles against new role criteria.
Step 2
Define match parameters per role — required skills, experience range, location, and any disqualifying factors.
Step 3
Configure outreach sequences: message tone, follow-up timing, and channels (email, SMS, LinkedIn).
Step 4
Interested candidates flow into the recruiter queue with a warm summary — the team picks up mid-conversation, not from cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

There's no built-in time limit — the agent searches your entire historical database. You can configure recency filters (e.g., candidates active in the last 2 years) if preferred.

Yes. CogniAgent pulls candidate-specific details (previous role applied for, interview stage reached, and relevant skills) to make each message feel individually crafted even at volume.

Email, SMS, and LinkedIn InMail are supported natively. Timing and channel sequence are fully configurable based on your candidate communication preferences.

Unsubscribe requests are processed automatically and immediately. Opted-out candidates are removed from all future sequences and flagged in your ATS accordingly.
