TLDR: Curately.ai has launched Maya, an advanced AI voice agent specifically designed by staffing experts to transform the recruitment process. Maya offers human-like conversational capabilities, real-time candidate response verification, and seamless integration with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), significantly boosting efficiency and candidate experience in the staffing industry. Early adopters report a 45% conversion rate on application cold calls.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – October 27, 2025 – Curately.ai, a leader in agentic AI talent-acquisition platforms, has unveiled ‘Maya,’ an innovative AI voice agent poised to redefine the staffing industry. Described as a ‘generational leap’ in AI voice technology, Maya stands apart from generic AI solutions by being purpose-built by staffing experts with over 25 years of contingent labor experience. This specialized design allows Maya to seamlessly integrate into real-world recruiting workflows and emulate the nuanced human behavior of a recruiter during the critical prescreening phase.
One staffing organization that adopted Maya reported exceptional results, stating, ‘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.’ This testimonial underscores Maya’s effectiveness and ease of implementation.
Maya’s core strength lies in its precision-driven conversational capabilities. During candidate interactions, the AI agent meticulously evaluates responses for accuracy and relevance. For instance, if a candidate provides inconsistent information, such as claiming ‘100 years of experience’ or an impossible skill set, Maya is programmed to flag these discrepancies, prompt for clarification, and gather precise details before proceeding. This real-time validation significantly reduces the reliance on manual screening, thereby safeguarding the recruiting funnel from inaccurate data.
Manish Karani, Founder and CEO of Curately.ai, emphasized Maya’s transformative potential, stating, ‘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. At the same time, candidates receive intentional, human-like engagements so they never feel lost or ignored.’
Powered by agentic AI, Maya is engineered to effortlessly manage complex conversational scenarios, including long pauses, ambiguous answers, and background noise—factors that often derail human-driven conversations or less advanced voice systems. It maintains a steady flow, keeps candidates engaged, and ensures interactions remain clear and crisp, all while preserving the organization’s unique employer brand tone, whether casual or professional.

Karani concluded, ‘What excites me most is the coming-together of candidate experience and recruiting efficiency in one tool. Maya doesn’t force organizations to compromise on brand or speed; she advances both, giving hiring teams the agility and precision they need.’
