Meet Smaya in Claude: Exterview's Hiring Agent, Now Inside Claude

Every hiring process creates a mountain of useful signal. Job descriptions, resume screens, voice and avatar interviews, interviewer feedback and background checks all say something about who is a great fit and where the process slows down.

The problem is getting to it. That signal lives across the Exterview platform, and turning it into answers usually means clicking through screens, exporting reports and stitching things together by hand.

So today we're excited to announce that Smaya, the Exterview hiring agent, is now available in Claude via MCP. Connect your Exterview account, and Claude becomes the interface where you talk to Smaya. Ask a question in plain English, and Smaya works across the Exterview platform to bring back a structured answer grounded in your real hiring data.

How it fits together.

Exterview is the platform. It runs your hiring workflow and holds your data: JD Intelligence, Resume Intelligence, Voice and Avatar Interviews, Human Interview Orchestration and background verification.

Smaya is the agent. It knows how to work across the Exterview platform, find the right data and take action on your behalf.

Claude is the interface. It's where you talk to Smaya, think through the answer, and turn it into something you can share.

You don't need to learn a new tool. You just ask.

Go deeper on hiring decisions.

Claude is built for thinking work, which makes it the best place for Smaya to help you analyze and decide. For example:

• "Compare the final-round PM candidates on stakeholder management."
• "Summarize Arya's voice interview and highlight any red flags."
• "Which skills come up most often in rejected candidates for Sales roles?"
• "Where are candidates dropping off in our hiring funnel this month?"

Smaya pulls the relevant data from Exterview, and Claude lays it out clearly so you can dig in, ask follow-ups and get to a decision faster.

Turn insights into finished work.

Because Claude can write, analyze and build documents, Smaya's answers don't have to stay in chat. Ask for:

• "A debrief summary for tomorrow's hiring committee."
• "A briefing note for the hiring manager before their interview with Arya."
• "A monthly hiring report for leadership covering all open engineering roles."

You get polished, shareable output without exporting a single spreadsheet.

Secure by design.

Smaya connects to Claude through MCP (the Model Context Protocol), an open standard for linking AI assistants to the tools you use. You sign in with your existing Exterview account, and Smaya only sees what your Exterview permissions already allow. Your data stays on the Exterview platform, and Smaya fetches only what's needed to answer each question.

Get started in minutes.

1. Open Claude and go to Settings → Connectors.
2. Find Exterview and click Connect.
3. Sign in with your Exterview account as usual.

That's it. Start a new chat and say hi to Smaya.
