Curately's Maya Becomes Go-To AI Voice Agent in Staffing
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AI voice agents are not new to staffing, but Curately's Maya represents a generational leap. Unlike prior voice agents built by tech companies that retrofit generic AI agents for staffing needs, Maya was purpose-built by staffing experts with over 25 years of contingent labor experience. She was designed to be implemented in real-world recruiting workflows and replicate the human behavior of a recruiter in the prescreening process.
"We have been very happy with our results so far, and we are currently converting 45% of our application cold calls. This number has exceeded our expectation. The team over at Curately are very easy to work with, and are responsive to our questions. I have led a lot of integrations in my 10 years and this was the smoothest one so far."
Developed specifically to fit the nuances of staffing organizations, Maya provides a level of precision, reliability, and candidate experience that existing tools cannot match.
"Maya represents a new standard for how talent acquisition teams engage with candidates and manage their pipelines. By verifying candidate responses in real time, adapting to nuances in conversation, and syncing directly with an organization's ATS, Maya frees recruiters to focus on the aspects of their role that are strategic rather than transactional."— Manish Karani, Founder and CEO of Curately.ai
Precision-Driven Conversation
During candidate interactions, Maya evaluates responses for accuracy and relevance: if a candidate claims "100 years of experience" or asserts an impossible skill set, Maya flags the inconsistency, prompts for clarification, and collects precise information before proceeding. This real-time validation reduces reliance on manual screening and safeguards against inaccurate data entering the recruiting funnel.
Natural, Nuanced Engagement
Powered by agentic AI, Maya is built to handle conversational complexity. Long pauses, ambiguous answers, and background noise often derail human-driven conversations or older voice systems, but Maya manages them effortlessly. She maintains a steady flow, keeps candidates engaged, and ensures the interaction remains crisp and clear while preserving an organization's employer brand tone.
ATS Integration
Maya integrates with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and other HR tools, enabling seamless scheduling, data capture, and candidate management—ensuring minimal disruption to existing processes. No duplicate data entry, no manual burden on recruiters, and no lag in hiring pipeline visibility.
Uninterrupted Reach, Anytime
With Maya working 24/7 across all time zones and interview-availability windows, companies eliminate bottlenecks in candidate outreach and follow-up. If a candidate needs to interrupt a session or continue later, Maya reschedules on the fly, picks up where the conversation left off, and keeps momentum intact.
Brand-Aligned Tone, High-Touch Experience
Maya adapts her voice to each organization's employer brand messaging, whether warm and colloquial or polished and corporate. Every touchpoint is designed to feel intentional, personal, and aligned with brand identity.
Measurable Recruiting Impact
Maya's combination of real-time accuracy verification, natural engagement, and automated data flow means fewer invalid candidate responses entering pipelines; fewer candidates lost due to lag or disengagement; and fewer hours spent by recruiters on follow-up and data cleanup. That adds up to lower cost-per-hire, faster time-to-fill, and improved quality of hire.
Maya is available immediately through the Curately.ai platform. Existing clients can enable Maya as part of their package; new clients can request a demo through the company website.
