Smaya Is Now in Microsoft 365: Exterview's Hiring Agent, Inside the Apps You Use Every Day

Hiring work doesn't stay in one place. Interview invites go out from Outlook, offer notes get drafted in Word, and headcount plans live in Excel. Meanwhile, the hiring data that should inform all of it sits on the Exterview platform.

Bridging that gap usually means switching windows, exporting reports and copying details across by hand.

So today we're excited to announce that Smaya, the Exterview hiring agent, is now available in Microsoft 365 via MCP. Connect your Exterview account, and Microsoft 365 Copilot becomes the interface where you talk to Smaya. Ask a question in plain English from Outlook, Word or Excel, and Smaya brings back an 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 works across the Exterview platform to find the right data and take action on your behalf.

Microsoft 365 is the interface. Through Copilot, Smaya is available in the Microsoft 365 apps your organization already runs on.

Hiring answers inside your everyday apps.

With Smaya in Microsoft 365, the information you need shows up right where you're working. For example:

In Outlook: "Summarize Arya's interview feedback before I reply to the hiring manager."

In Word: "Draft a hiring committee debrief for the final-round Product Designer candidates."

In Excel: "Pull this month's pipeline numbers for all open engineering roles."

In Copilot Chat: "Which roles have the most candidates waiting on background verification?"

Smaya pulls the relevant data from Exterview, and Copilot helps you put it to work in the document, email or spreadsheet in front of you.

Less copying, more hiring.

Recruiters and hiring managers spend a surprising amount of time moving information between systems. With Smaya in Microsoft 365, you can:

• Write candidate updates and offer notes without re-typing interview details.
• Build hiring reports for leadership straight from live Exterview data.
• Prepare for interviews with briefing notes generated in seconds.

Enterprise-ready and secure.

Smaya connects to Microsoft 365 through MCP (the Model Context Protocol), an open standard for linking AI agents to the tools you use. Each person signs in with their own Exterview account, and Smaya only sees what their Exterview permissions already allow. Your data stays on the Exterview platform, and Smaya fetches only what's needed to answer each request.

Get started in minutes.

1. Ask your Microsoft 365 admin to approve the Exterview agent for your organization.
2. Open Microsoft 365 Copilot and add Smaya from the agent store.
3. Sign in with your Exterview account as usual.

That's it. Mention Smaya in Copilot to get started.
