Embodiments include methods, and computer program products for matching candidates and job positions using cognitive computing. Aspects include: collecting candidate information of certain candidates and job information of certain job openings from various information sources, creating one candidate document for each of the candidates and storing the candidate document created in a candidate database, and creating one job document for each of the job openings and storing the job document created in a job database, extracting certain cognitive features from each of candidate documents in the candidate database, and each of the job documents in the job database using cognitive computing; and matching the candidates in the candidate database with the job openings in the job database by ranking the extracted cognitive features and cognitive computing. The extracted cognitive features may include a list of personality traits and a list of concepts.
