Why Great Candidates Slip Away After the Offer

  • The Offer Sits in an Inbox

    An offer emailed on Friday afternoon is read Monday morning — if it's read at all. Every silent hour is a window for a competing employer to close the same candidate first.

  • Questions Stall the Decision

    Candidates hesitate on pay, shift, benefits, or start date and wait days for a reply. Momentum built through interviews dies in the gap between "here's the offer" and "here's your answer."

  • Silent Reneges Before Day One

    An accepted candidate goes quiet between signing and start date with no check-in. You find out they took another role when they no-show — after you've stopped sourcing for the seat.

How It Works

  • Offer Trigger

    A candidate is moved to "offer" in your ATS — CogniAgent detects it and opens the offer conversation on the candidate's channel immediately.

  • Personalized Offer Delivery

    Role, pay, shift, start date, and a benefits summary are delivered in plain, readable language — not buried in a PDF attachment the candidate has to open on their phone.

  • Live Questions Answered

    The agent draws on your Knowledge Base to answer compensation, benefits, PTO, and policy questions on the spot — the same accurate answer every time, day or night

  • Guardrailed Negotiation

    Requests inside your approved bands are handled to script. Anything outside them routes to the hiring manager with full context, so nothing gets promised that shouldn't be.

  • Acceptance Capture

    A clear yes or no, e-signature or confirmation logged straight to your ATS, decision timestamped — no manual tracking, no ambiguity about where the candidate stands.

  • Onboarding Handoff

    On acceptance, the agent triggers document collection and first-day logistics. On a decline, it captures the reason and closes the conversation professionally.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Step 1

    Load your offer terms, compensation bands, benefits, and FAQs into the Knowledge Base for each role.

  2. Step 2

    Connect your ATS or HRIS so the agent fires the moment a candidate is moved to the offer stage.

  3. Step 3

    Set your negotiation guardrails and the escalation path to the hiring manager for any out-of-band request.

  4. Step 4

    Define acceptance capture and the onboarding sequence that triggers automatically on a signed yes.

Turn Every Offer Into a Signed Yes

The candidate you chose shouldn't be lost to a slow reply. The agent delivers, answers, and closes — while your team moves on to the next hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

The agent delivers offers proactively over email (Gmail or Outlook), SMS, or Slack, and continues the conversation wherever the candidate replies — including WhatsApp, Teams, and web chat. Channel choice is set per role.

Yes, within limits you define. Requests inside your approved compensation and scheduling bands are handled directly; anything outside them is routed to the hiring manager with the full conversation context, so no unauthorized terms are ever offered.

The agent collects a clear accept or decline, logs an e-signature or written confirmation to your ATS, and timestamps the decision. It can integrate with your existing e-signature tool for formal sign-off. (For binding-agreement requirements, confirm with your own counsel — the agent handles the workflow, not the legal review.)

The agent runs a paced follow-up sequence — a small number of spaced nudges, capped so it never spams — and captures the reason on decline. If there's still no response, it flags the candidate for the hiring manager rather than closing silently.
