Hiring

Every applicant gets an answer. In minutes, at any hour, in their language.

Maria owns the funnel from the moment someone applies to the moment they are sitting in front of a manager — replying, screening, assessing and coordinating — so your recruiters spend the day making decisions instead of chasing people.

What Maria owns end to end

Answers first — that is most of the game

Applications land at 11pm on a Sunday, on WhatsApp, on a job board, through a QR code in a shop window. Maria picks them all up and replies within minutes, before the candidate has applied to three other companies.

Builds the profile in the conversation

Most frontline candidates have no CV to upload. Maria asks — experience, availability, licences, travel distance, right to work — and turns the answers into a structured profile your team can compare, in the candidate's own words.

Screens and interviews by voice or chat

A real conversation against your criteria for this role at this site, by phone or WhatsApp, the candidate's choice — with assessments where the role calls for them, and a transcript behind every answer.

Books straight into the manager's calendar

No back-and-forth, no coordinator in the middle. Maria offers genuine availability, books it, confirms it and reminds both sides — then rebooks when a shift changes.

Keeps the people you don't hire today

A no in January is a yes in March. Everyone stays in a pool that remembers why the fit wasn't right yet, and Maria reopens the conversation when a role that suits them opens.

How it actually sounds

An evening-shift application, answered eleven minutes after it arrived. No portal to log into, no app to install — Maria works in the channels your workforce already answers, and says who she is in the first message.

WhatsApp · AI assistant

Hi Ana — I'm Maria, an AI assistant on the hiring team. You applied for the evening shift at the Gran Vía store. Two quick questions and I can get you booked in this week. Is now a good time?

yes but I work until 6 every day

Noted — evenings only. I have Thursday 18:45 or Friday 19:15 with Marta, the store manager. Which works better?

thursday

Booked: Thursday 18:45, Gran Vía, ask for Marta. I'll remind you that morning. And if you'd rather speak to a person at any point, just say “human”.

Illustrative exchange. Details anonymised.

Inside the platform

Nobody dragged this card

This is the hiring board your recruiters work in. The application arrives, gets a reply, gets screened by voice, gets scored against the criteria for this store and gets an interview in the manager's diary — and the card changes stage on its own each time. Then it stops, marked for a human.

Application lands on WhatsApp. Maria replies in ninety seconds and starts building the profile — no CV needed.

Where Maria stops and your team takes over

A support tool, never a decision-maker. The limits below are built into the platform, not left to a prompt.

She prepares. Your team decides.

Maria never issues a final hiring decision. She assembles the evidence — answers, transcript, availability, assessment results — and a recruiter or manager approves the next step.

“Human” is always one word away

She says she is AI in the first message. Anyone who asks for a person gets one, and the conversation hands over with its full context attached.

Every evaluation can be reconstructed

Criteria, transcripts, timestamps and human approvals are logged end to end, with independent bias audits run monthly — built for the EU AI Act from the ground up.

One name, a team of specialists

Candidates and employees talk to Maria. Behind that single conversation, the hiring agent team splits the work — and every exchange writes into the same context layer the rest of the platform reads from.
