AI voice agents have flirted with staffing for years, but Maya, from Curately.ai, might be the one to finally stick the landing. Developed by staffing veterans—not Silicon Valley generalists—Maya was engineered from the ground up to think, talk, and react like a recruiter, all while removing the friction that slows traditional hiring pipelines.
Built by Recruiters, for Recruiters
Curately’s leadership team brings over 25 years of contingent labor experience, and that insider knowledge shows. While earlier AI tools forced recruiters to adapt to generic software, Maya fits directly into real-world staffing workflows. She doesn’t just mimic human interaction—she refines it.
In one case, a staffing firm using Maya reported converting 45% of cold calls into active applications, exceeding expectations and calling the rollout “the smoothest integration” they’d ever had.
The Real-Time Reality Check
Maya’s defining edge lies in precision. When a candidate claims “100 years of experience” or lists impossible credentials, Maya flags it on the spot, requests clarification, and captures verified data before continuing. This real-time screening accuracy reduces bad data and spares recruiters countless manual hours.
A Conversationalist with Context
Unlike legacy voice bots that stumble over awkward pauses or noisy backgrounds, Maya handles complexity gracefully. Her agentic AI engine keeps dialogue flowing naturally—adjusting tone, clarifying ambiguous responses, and maintaining a brand-consistent voice, whether the company culture leans formal or friendly.
Seamless ATS Integration
Maya syncs directly with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and HR platforms, pulling and pushing data without requiring recruiters to double-handle information. Scheduling, notes, and candidate status updates happen automatically, keeping the hiring pipeline fluid and visible in real time.
Always On, Always Engaged
Maya works around the clock, across time zones, and can pause and resume interviews midstream—ensuring no candidate slips through the cracks. Her adaptability means outreach and follow-up continue even when human recruiters are offline, maintaining engagement and speeding up hiring cycles.
A Voice That Matches the Brand
From startups to enterprise employers, consistency matters. Maya’s voice tone and phrasing adapt to each company’s employer brand, ensuring candidates experience the same warmth—or polish—they’d expect from a human recruiter. That attention to tone builds trust and boosts completion rates.
The Bigger Picture: AI That Feels Human
While many HR tech solutions chase automation, Curately’s Maya leans into augmentation—helping recruiters focus on strategy while she handles the repetitive grind. The result is lower cost-per-hire, faster time-to-fill, and higher quality of hire, all without sacrificing the human touch that defines effective talent acquisition.
As staffing firms face growing competition for qualified talent, Maya may just set a new bar for what AI in HR can—and should—do.
