Smaya Is Now in Slack: Exterview's Hiring Agent, Right Where Your TA Team Talks

Recruiting moves fast, and most of it happens in Slack. Hiring managers ping recruiters for updates. Interviewers drop feedback in threads. Someone always asks, "Where are we on that role?"

The answers live on the Exterview platform, but getting them means leaving the conversation, opening a dashboard and copying things back.

So today we're excited to announce that Smaya, the Exterview hiring agent, is now available in Slack via MCP. Connect your Exterview account, and Slack becomes the interface where your whole team can talk to Smaya. Mention Smaya in a channel or DM, ask in plain English, and get an answer grounded in your real hiring data, right in the thread.

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.

Slack is the interface. It's where your team already collaborates, so Smaya shows up in the same channels and threads.

Quick answers, without leaving the thread.

Slack is built for speed, which makes it perfect for fast check-ins with Smaya. Try:

• "@Exterview where are we on the Senior Backend Engineer role?"
• "@Exterview summarize Arya's voice interview."
• "@Exterview who's scheduled for interviews tomorrow?"
• "@Exterview how many background verifications are still pending?"

Everyone in the conversation sees the same answer, so the team stays aligned without extra meetings.

Keep the hiring team in sync.

Smaya can also help with the updates that usually eat up a recruiter's day:

• "Share a debrief summary for the final onsite in #hiring-backend."
• "Post a weekly pipeline update for all open engineering roles."
• "Send the hiring manager a briefing note before their interview with Arya."

Less copying and pasting, more time spent with candidates.

Secure by design.

Smaya connects to Slack 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. Candidate data stays on the Exterview platform, and Smaya fetches only what's needed for each request.

Get started in minutes.

1. Find Exterview in the Slack app directory.
2. Click Add to Slack and approve the workspace install.
3. Sign in with your Exterview account as usual.

That's it. Mention @Exterview in any channel to get started.
