Everything before the offer letter
One system of record from budgeted headcount to a publish-ready job description, with the governance an enterprise HR function is actually audited on.
Spreadsheet import & validation
Download the template, upload .xlsx or .csv, and get row-level validation, unknown org values, CTC checks and duplicate detection before anything commits.
Configurable approval matrices
Rules combine department, grade, budget, location and hiring type, evaluated by priority with a fallback. No hard-coded chains, no code changes.
Requisitions & MRFs
Raise a requisition from an approved plan row or standalone, then watch the live approval chain, comments and decision timestamps.
AI job descriptions
Structured, versioned JDs from approved requisitions. Generate, improve with before/after, and produce channel copy — always editable, never auto-published.
Multi-tenant RBAC & audit
Postgres row-level security isolates every tenant. Scoped roles per department and location, and every create, update and delete lands in the audit log.

What hiring teams say
Sample customer stories from the sectors Cogniflohire is built for. Names and companies are illustrative.
“Budgeted headcount and actual requisitions finally reconcile. Finance stopped asking for a separate tracker within the first quarter.”
“Approval routing used to live in three WhatsApp groups. Now the matrix decides, and every decision has a name and a timestamp against it.”
“Uploading the annual plan used to take a fortnight of cleanup. The validation grid catches bad grades and CTC bands before anything is committed.”
“Our plant managers raise MRFs themselves now. They can see exactly which approver the request is sitting with, so the chasing stopped.”
“The JD drafts come back structured, not as a wall of text. Recruiters edit, the hiring manager approves, and the version history keeps everyone honest.”
“Three legal entities, one workspace, and nobody sees another entity's data. That was the requirement our compliance team refused to move on.”

Frequently asked questions
- Is Cogniflohire an applicant tracking system?
- Cogniflohire covers the enterprise front of hiring: manpower planning, approvals, requisitions, jobs and job descriptions. Candidate sourcing and interview workflows sit outside the current release.
- Can we configure our own approval chains?
- Yes. Approval matrices are data-driven. Rules are defined against department, grade, budget or CTC band, location and hiring type, evaluated by priority with a fallback rule, and can be changed without a release.
- How is data separated between group companies?
- Every table is protected by Postgres row-level security scoped to the tenant. Users only ever see their own workspace, and roles can be scoped further to a department or location.
- Who can sign up?
- Cogniflohire is invite-only. An enterprise administrator invites users into a workspace and assigns their roles; there is no public self-registration.
- Does the AI publish job descriptions automatically?
- No. Generated content is returned as structured, editable fields and stored as a version. A human must review and approve a job description before it is marked ready.
