Vendor-reported. The customer is named and the numbers are quoted from the source page, but the account comes from the vendor. No independent confirmation.
Reported by thecognitive.io (vendor self-report). Checked against the source page on 2026-09-06. 4 of 4 figures below appear on that page word for word.
The problem
Prospire needed to build Engineering, Product Management, and UI/UX teams simultaneously for 1,000+ applicants, which would take months of manual review.

“We had a thousand applicants and no way to fairly evaluate all of them. The AI interviewed every single one. Out of the 15 it shortlisted, we hired 10. That hit rate speaks for itself.”
Difficulties and limits
- internal debate needed to define the bar consistently
- calibration: some prompts and evaluation language had to be tightened
