Cognizant’s adoption of Oracle Recruiting is designed to reimagine its end-to-end talent acquisition process through AI-enabled automation and intelligent workflows.
As a global AI and technology services provider, Cognizant manages large-scale hiring across multiple regions, requiring a recruiting system capable of handling both standardized global processes and localized hiring requirements. Oracle Recruiting provides a unified platform designed to streamline these complexities while embedding AI into core recruiting functions.
The platform aims to improve candidate engagement, reduce hiring cycle times, and enhance recruiter productivity through automation and data-driven decision-making.
With operations in over 60 countries and a workforce exceeding 350,000 employees, Cognizant requires a recruiting infrastructure that can scale across diverse markets and hiring needs.
Oracle Recruiting was selected for its embedded AI capabilities, flexibility, and global scalability. The platform is designed to support both enterprise-wide hiring standards and region-specific recruitment workflows, enabling Cognizant to maintain consistency while adapting to local labor market requirements.
This scalability is critical as Cognizant continues to expand its global workforce and strengthen its position as an AI-first enterprise services provider.
A key driver behind the adoption is Oracle Recruiting’s embedded artificial intelligence and automation capabilities.
The platform enables organizations to streamline recruiting workflows by automating repetitive tasks, improving candidate matching, and enhancing decision-making across the hiring lifecycle. These capabilities are expected to help Cognizant improve hiring efficiency while delivering a more seamless and personalized candidate experience.
Oracle Recruiting is also part of Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM, which connects HR processes across the employee lifecycle to improve visibility, automation, and operational efficiency.
Beyond standard recruiting functionality, Cognizant also plans to leverage Oracle AI Agent Studio to build custom AI agents tailored to its specific business and hiring requirements.
Oracle AI Agent Studio is designed to allow organizations to create, connect, and manage AI agents and agentic applications across enterprise workflows. For Cognizant, this capability opens the door to developing highly specialized recruiting automation aligned with its global hiring strategies and operational needs.
This approach reflects a broader enterprise trend toward customizable AI systems that extend beyond out-of-the-box functionality.
"The candidate experience is often the first interaction people have with our organization, and we needed a recruiting platform that could deliver a more seamless and engaging experience while giving us the flexibility to build AI capabilities that align with our business objectives. Oracle stood out for its ability to deliver all of this within a unified platform," said Roshan Subudhi, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Platform Services, Cognizant.
"Organizations with a vast footprint like Cognizant need AI-powered solutions that can scale globally and help them build a future workforce," said Nagaraj Nadendla, Senior Vice President, HCM Product Development, Oracle.
