// USE CASE · HR & PEOPLE

AI agents for HR that prep the workand pause before they act.

Recruiters spend half the week on sourcing lists and rubric-scoring before a single interview, while People leads only see attrition risk after the resignation lands. Melaya gives you a nine-persona People crew that drafts the candidate dossier, benchmarks comp, predicts flight risk at a 90-day horizon, and stages every outbound message for one-click approval. The crew handles the volume, your team owns the relationship, and the audit log holds the receipts.

01
// What breaks today

Manual workflows cost more than the agent does.

Three pains every sales and BD team hits weekly. Each one is what your reps actually complain about, not what a feature page would call them.

  1. 01

    Benchmark comp against the crypto and quant market without a consultant engagement a 25-person team cannot afford.

  2. 02

    Catch attrition risk 90 days before the resignation letter, not after it arrives.

  3. 03

    Document every employee-relations concern inside the 30-day window before legal exposure compounds weekly.

02
// Pipelines you can build

Agent workflows: compose, approve, replay.

Every pipeline below is a shape you wire on the canvas using the crew and tools further down. Not a feature we ship for you, a pattern you configure.

P01

Passive candidate sourcing, not just inbound

TalentAcquisitionLead sources role by role: GitHub OSS contribution scans for engineers, arXiv co-authorship for quant researchers, HackerNews "who is hiring" threads for early fits. Melaya Agents pulls the public data with scrape_page and scrape_structured, resolves candidates on LinkedIn with linkedin_search and linkedin_resolve_profile, and holds every outreach message at pause_for_human before it sends.

P02

Comp benchmarking against the crypto market

CompensationSpecialist flags anyone below market P40 as a flight risk and models a performance-linked bonus framework against crypto and quant benchmarks, not general tech. Melaya Agents researches the comparison set with web_search and writes the benchmarking table into a shared sheet with sheets_read_range and sheets_append_row.

P03

Attrition risk, 90 days out

PeopleAnalyticsLead scores each employee's departure probability from signals like promotion gaps, manager churn, and compensation percentile, and surfaces the primary driver so a manager can intervene before it becomes a resignation. Findings route to CHRO for the weekly workforce-risk review.

P04

ER documentation inside the 30-day window

EmployeeRelations logs every performance and conduct concern on a documented timeline, distinguishing performance issues from conduct issues because they need different responses. HRComplianceLegal cross-checks each case against contractor classification and GDPR retention rules before it closes.

P05

Board-ready people report, synthesized

CHROSynthesizer rolls recruiting, comp, culture, and compliance up into one People Health Score, with any critical risk stated in sentence one instead of buried in an appendix. Melaya Agents writes the report to a shared doc and posts the summary to the team channel.

03
// The multi-agent crew

HR & People crew

Real personas from the hr_team crew. Each ships with a tuned system prompt and a default tool allowlist. Swap models per persona on the canvas.

Talent Acquisition Lead

TalentAcquisitionLead

Runs the recruiting funnel for quant and tech roles, scores candidates against a structured rubric, and flags any pipeline where screen, interview, or offer conversion falls below threshold.

People Analytics Lead

PeopleAnalyticsLead

Predicts attrition at a 90-day horizon from 14 signals, surfaces the primary driver per employee, and sizes the hiring pipeline against expected departures.

Compensation Specialist

CompensationSpecialist

Benchmarks every role against crypto and quant market data, sizes equity refresh, and lists every employee below market P40 as a flight risk.

Employee Relations Manager

EmployeeRelations

Documents performance concerns within 30 days, runs PIPs to standard, and triages conduct and harassment cases on a 24-hour clock.

HR Compliance & Legal

HRComplianceLegal

Tracks the multi-jurisdiction compliance calendar, screens contractor classification, and audits GDPR HR data processing with documented legal basis.

Learning & Development Lead

LearningDevelopmentLead

Maps the 12-month skill gap, builds role-specific curricula, and measures L&D effectiveness by 90-day performance lift rather than completion rate.

Culture & Engagement Lead

CultureEngagementLead

Tracks eNPS, regression-adjusted pay equity, and inclusion indicators, and flags the three culture risks that bite hardest during scale.

CHRO

CHRO

Sets people strategy, watches the four weekly metrics, and names key-person and team-health risks before they turn into business risk.

CHRO Synthesizer

CHROSynthesizer

Synthesizes every workstream into a board-ready people report with a People Health Score, putting critical risk in sentence one.

// Scoped tools

Tool allowlists: only the actions you grant.

Every tool below is a real shared tool from the Melaya bundle. Allowlist per agent; HITL-gate the writes; revoke any of them in one click.

shared/tools/social_linkedin/

Search LinkedIn for the right candidates at target firms, resolve profiles into dossiers, and stage outreach. Every linkedin_send_message and linkedin_send_connection_request is HITL-gated by default.

linkedin_searchlinkedin_resolve_profilelinkedin_send_messagelinkedin_send_connection_request
shared/tools/email/

Read inbound applications and replies, prepare candidate and employee outreach, and stage every send for approval. gmail_send is HITL by default for this crew.

gmail_sendgmail_readgmail_my_address
shared/tools/scraping/

Pull public context from GitHub, arXiv, conference pages, and prior employer sites into the candidate dossier. Scoped at the agent level so TalentAcquisitionLead reaches only what you allow.

scrape_pagescrape_structuredscrape_links
shared/tools/knowledge/

Build the per-workflow knowledge store from interview rubrics, leveling guides, comp bands, the policy handbook, and won-candidate emails. Powers all three knowledge layers across the crew.

build_knowledge_from_textbuild_knowledge_from_file
shared/tools/gsuite_tools/

Read the offer-letter and onboarding templates from Drive, append candidate-specific clauses, and write the weekly attrition and pipeline panels into Sheets. Drive and Sheets writes are HITL-gated by default.

docs_readdocs_append_textdrive_uploadsheets_read_rangesheets_append_row
shared/tools/calendar/

Find common free slots across an interview loop, prep the structured-interview agenda, and stage the invites. gcal_create_event is HITL-gated by default.

gcal_find_free_slotsgcal_create_eventgcal_list_events
shared/tools/core/

General-purpose research, structured fetch, and the explicit pause_for_human checkpoint used at every HITL gate. The fallback when nothing more specific applies.

web_searchhttp_requestgrep_searchpause_for_human
05
// Three knowledge layers

The crew reads what you give it.

Every pipeline ships with three layers of knowledge access. Mix and match per agent on the canvas. No shared vector space with another tenant, no surprise reads, no opaque retrieval.

L1

Static context

includeContext

Per-pipeline documents appended to specific agents' input on every run. The ICP brief, playbook, pricing sheet, or won-deal email corpus. Whatever needs to be there before the agent thinks. You pick which personas get which docs.

L2

RAG retrieval tool

rag_retrieve

A scoped tool granted per-agent. When the agent decides it needs more depth, it queries the workflow's vector store on demand. Same knowledge base as Static context, accessed only when the model asks for it.

L3

Cross-run memory

pipeline_memory

Pipeline-level state that carries from one run to the next. Yesterday's research is in scope for today's follow-up. The crew remembers what it already prospected, what got approved, what was sent. The audit log is the second-order knowledge base.

07
// FAQ

AI agent questions we get every week.

Can an AI HR team run the full recruiting-to-board-report cycle for a small company?

Yes. The hr_team crew runs nine specialists, TalentAcquisitionLead through CHROSynthesizer, and run_hr_team accepts an org snapshot and context so the output is scoped to your actual headcount, not a generic template.

Can I run just the recruiting piece, not the full HR team?

Yes. run_hr_team takes an optional agents list, so TalentAcquisitionLead can run alone, or paired with CompensationSpecialist, without the rest of the pipeline.

Does an AI agent ever contact a candidate or employee without review?

No. Outbound email and LinkedIn outreach pause at Melaya's human approval gate before anything sends.

Does the HR compliance agent replace an employment lawyer?

No. HRComplianceLegal flags contractor misclassification and GDPR gaps and drafts the documentation; the persona itself tracks when a filing deadline or exposure needs sign-off from outside counsel.

How does the attrition-prediction model decide who is a flight risk?

PeopleAnalyticsLead scores departure probability from signals including tenure, manager change frequency, compensation percentile, and time since last promotion, and flags anyone above threshold for manager intervention.

Can this handle recruiting for a multi-country team?

HRComplianceLegal tracks employment law across active jurisdictions (US federal plus state, EU/GDPR, Singapore, UAE in the persona's own scope) and flags gaps before they reach a regulatory audit.
