CogniYukti, by CognityHire
The business platform that replaces the stack, not one tool in it.
Hiring, payroll, sales, invoicing, delivery and support are twelve areas of one product here — bought separately, so you take the ones you need and none of the ones you do not.
A deal becomes a project, a project becomes an invoice, an invoice becomes a renewal. Nobody retypes anything, because there is nothing to retype it into.

What this is
Twelve areas of a business, in one product, on one record.
CogniYukti is an applicant tracker, an HR and payroll system, a sales CRM, an invoicing and receivables system, a services-delivery tool, a support desk, a knowledge base and a customer-success module — built as one product rather than assembled from nine.
Each area is bought on its own and none depends on another, so you take what you need. What they share is the record underneath: the same company is one row whether it arrives as a lead, a payer, a ticket requester or a client you are placing people with.
- Not a bundle of separate apps —
One login, one permission model, one audit trail. Not nine products under a single invoice with nine data models behind them.
- Not a cut-down edition of anything —
An in-house team gets the same product as an agency, with the parts it does not need switched off. Mode is set per requisition, not per company.
- Shipped, not promised —
Every area named above has screens you can open today. Nothing on this site is a roadmap item.
Why growing teams duct-tape their own software
Five subscriptions. Six spreadsheets. Zero visibility.
Every growing business hits the same wall at around thirty people. What started as one tool for hiring, one for sales and a shared drive for everything else quietly turns into a stack. You did not plan it. It grew.
The bills stack the same way — five vendors to chase when something breaks. And in between them the same client, the same employee and the same invoice, typed in three places, corrected in one, and slightly wrong everywhere else. The teams who feel this hardest are not slow. They are reconciling one reality across four screens.
- 01Applicant trackerStops at the offer
- 02HR & payroll appRe-enters everything the tracker knew
- 03Sales CRMIts own copy of every client
- 04Invoicing toolCannot see the placement it is billing for
- 05Support inboxA fifth idea of who the customer is
- 06The spreadsheetStill the real source of truth
How it is bought
Every area stands on its own. None of them is a bundle.
The reason a stack becomes a stack is that each tool arrives whole. You wanted invoicing and bought a finance suite; you wanted a pipeline and bought a sales platform. Then the two share nothing.
| Who | Hiring | People & payroll | Sales CRM | Finance | Services delivery | Customer success | Support | Call intelligence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A recruitment firmPlaces people, bills the client, runs a small team of its own | ||||||||
| A services businessSells projects, staffs them, watches the margin while they run | ||||||||
| A product companyNever places anyone. Sells, onboards, renews, supports | ||||||||
| One team, one problemCame for the invoicing. Has not switched anything else on |
The fastest way to judge this is your own stack.
Bring the list of what you currently pay for. Thirty minutes is enough to see which areas replace which, and which one you would keep.
The join
The same person, wherever they turn up.
Someone you interviewed and passed on appears two years later as a hiring manager at a client. They refer a friend. Then they join you. In four separate tools that is four unrelated rows, and nobody ever finds out.

Four rows, four spellings, four histories that never meet. The referral fee goes unpaid and the duplicate gets created anyway.
Rohan Kulkarni
Known to you since March 2024
- CandidateMar 2024
Interviewed for a data role. Not taken forward.
- ContactJul 2025
Now hiring manager at one of your clients.
- ReferrerJan 2026
Sent you two people last quarter.
- EmployeeAug 2026
And last month, joined you.
So the referral gets credited, the duplicate never gets created, and you know who you are talking to before you pick up.
- It holds across modules —
The same resolution runs whether the person arrives through a job application, a sales contact, an employee record, a referral or a bulk import.
- Merges undo —
Two records that turn out to be one person merge — and if that was wrong, the merge reverses.
- History survives —
Someone you placed two years ago who applies again lands on the record you already have, with everything that happened still attached.
What each area is sharpest at
Twelve arguments, not one product with eleven accessories.
A platform is usually a strong product with a ring of weak ones around it, and everybody can tell which is which within a week of using it. The test is whether each area has something to say that its category's specialists cannot say back.
Here is the sentence each one is prepared to be judged on. Every one of them opens onto the screen that does it.
The AI question
Everyone in this category has AI. Ask what theirs produces.
A word every vendor uses is a word that has stopped distinguishing anybody. The useful question is narrower: what comes back, and can you check it?
Here it does five jobs, and every one returns something you can open — a value with the sentence it was read from, a finding that plays the second it happened, a ticket somebody already resolved. A finding that cannot be traced back is dropped rather than shown with a lower number attached.
It reads, and shows the line
Fields pulled from a role or a CV carry the sentence behind them, and a correction you make holds in your workspace.
It listens, and plays the moment
Interviews and calls come back as findings that seek the second they happened — including the requirement nobody thought to ask about.
It refuses
A field marked personal, financial or a credential is never sent to the reader — not redacted afterwards, not sent. A search asking about gender, age, caste, religion or disability is declined rather than answered, and the query it built is readable before it runs.
Twenty-two products, read in full.
We read the public feature and packaging pages of twenty-two products across HR, CRM and applicant tracking to find out what the category had decided not to build. Seven things came out of it — including an AI none of them pointed at the person doing the hiring, and six modules absent from every one.
The unglamorous half
The parts most platforms leave to you.
Every platform demos the same twenty minutes. The difference shows up in the work nobody puts in a demo — the statutory return that has to be filed, the retention rule that has to hold under a legal hold, the bench that costs money every day nobody looks at it.
These are not settings bolted on afterwards. They are the way the product was built, which is why they are the part we would rather be judged on.
Database search, not just posting
Search a candidate database and import the profile you found, inside the product — rather than an integration that can only push a job advert outwards.
Payroll that files, not payroll that exports
Statutory contributions, tax on multiple regimes, gratuity and bonus — rates versioned by date, and the statutory returns produced from the run rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
It reads a CV the way it was written
A bare local phone number resolves to its country. A neighbourhood resolves to its city. A salary written in a local unit becomes a figure you can compare. Not a currency symbol bolted on afterwards.
The bench, priced
Every idle consultant on one screen, ordered by what the idleness has cost so far, banded by how long they have been sitting.
Privacy as screens, not a policy page
Retention set per client where the strictest window wins. Erasure that reaches the frozen copies you already sent them — and refuses, with a reason, under a legal hold. DPDP and GDPR on the same machinery.
Drives, not just campus
Campus weeks, off-campus drives, walk-in days and hackathons as events, with the institution and its tier on the record — so which ones convert is answerable across seasons.
Tax, e-invoicing and entities
Tax computed on the invoice, e-invoicing where a jurisdiction requires it, credit notes when a placement reverses, and multiple legal entities under one roof.
Money the way your market writes it
Amounts group the way people in that market actually group them, and a package is entered the way your team says it out loud rather than the way a spreadsheet wants it.
Who it is for
Every business arrives for a different area.
Five have been written up in detail — the ones we are asked about most. Which five that is says something about our writing and nothing about the product, so the areas are listed underneath at the same size. Start from either.
Written up in detail
Or by the area you came for
It fits what you already use
One platform does not mean nothing else is allowed in.
The argument for one record is about the customer and the employee, not about refusing to talk to anything. Sourcing, messaging, meetings and the ledger all reach outward.
- Where candidates come from —
A named résumé database with import rather than only posting outwards, plus the job boards you already advertise on.
- How people are reached —
Messaging on the channel candidates actually answer, and email from your own sending domains.
- Where the meeting happens —
Interviews and calls on the conferencing tools your team already runs, recorded with consent rather than moved somewhere else.
- Where the numbers go next —
An export to the ledger your accountant already uses, so billing here does not mean replacing your accounting.
Questions people ask before switching
The five that decide it.
›Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. Areas are bought one at a time with no dependency between them, so taking two that have nothing to do with each other is a normal configuration. Adding one later means no migration and no import job, because the accounts, the people and the documents are already shared.
›Is this an applicant tracker with other things bolted on?
No, and the test is depth rather than a claim. Invoices cannot be edited and corrections are numbered credit notes. Commissions have participant statements. Payroll files its own statutory returns. Those are not the shape of accessories.
›What happens to the data in the systems we are leaving?
It comes with you. Import is a screen in the product rather than a professional-services engagement, and the history arrives attached to the records it belongs to.
›How is the AI different from everybody else's?
By what it hands back. A value carries the sentence it was read from, a finding plays the second it happened, and anything that cannot be verified is dropped instead of shown with a lower score. It also refuses questions about protected characteristics rather than answering them carefully.
›Can we see it with our own data?
That is the demo we would rather run. Bring a badly written role, a recording, or a customer you are worried about, and we will open it in the product with you.
Book a demo
We have no logos to show you. We have the product.
Thirty minutes inside the product, with your own week in it — a live role, your bench, the handover that is currently a spreadsheet. We start there and go wherever you stop us.
- Add a module area to a live workspace and show me nothing had to be migrated
- Open a forecast and show me the call behind the number
- Try to edit a sent invoice, and show me what happens instead
- Take a candidate through to employee and show me what was not retyped
- Open the privacy screens — access, erasure, retention, legal holds
- Run payroll and show me the statutory returns that come out of it
- Open a health score and show me who wrote the weighting
- Delete something from the audit trail
