Melaya — Build AI agents for any job. Agentic platform for research, ops, outreach, reporting — and the only one where agents can actually trade.

// USE CASE · HR & PEOPLE

People agents that prep the work,and 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

The status quo costs 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

    Recruiters burn six hours a week on sourcing lists and rubric scoring before a single screen call, and Tier-1 candidates ghost while the dossier is still being assembled.

  2. 02

    Attrition shows up in the resignation email, not in a 90-day flight-risk panel, so retention budget gets spent on goodbye gifts instead of equity refresh.

  3. 03

    Offer letters and onboarding packs ship inconsistent comp bands and missing GDPR clauses, and the first the People team hears about it is an awkward Day 2 conversation.

02
// Pipelines you can build

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

Triage inbound candidates against rubric

On inbound application, parse the resume, pull GitHub, arXiv, and LinkedIn context, then score against the structured rubric loaded as Static context so the scoring stays consistent across the loop and across weeks.

P02

Source passive candidates with approval

Search co-authorship networks, GitHub OSS, and LinkedIn for passive matches per open role. HITL gate blocks every linkedin_send_connection_request and gmail_send until the recruiter approves target list, copy, and cadence.

P03

Prepare competitive offer packages

Benchmark base, bonus, and token grant against current crypto and quant comp bands pulled from rag_retrieve, flag any gap below market P40, and draft the offer letter in Docs. Send stays HITL until the hiring manager signs off.

P04

Draft onboarding packs by jurisdiction

Assemble the offer letter, IP assignment, equity grant, and GDPR notices for the candidate's jurisdiction from the policy handbook in the knowledge store. HRComplianceLegal flags missing clauses with replay on every revision.

P05

Prep employee relations case notes

Draft the 30-day performance-concern memo or PIP from manager input, prior 1:1 notes pulled via rag_retrieve, and the ER decision framework in Static context. Notes stay HITL and never auto-send to the employee.

P06

Run weekly 90-day flight-risk panel

Score every employee against the 14-signal attrition model, name the primary and secondary driver, and recommend the intervention. Cross-run memory tracks intervention milestones so save plans do not reset each Monday.

03
// The 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

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

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.

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

Questions we get every week.

Will agents email candidates or employees on their own?

No. Every gmail_send, linkedin_send_message, and linkedin_send_connection_request is HITL-gated by default. The crew prepares the message, the recruiter or people manager approves the send. You can lift the gate per template once a workflow has proven itself.

Can the agents reason over our ATS, HRIS, and policy docs?

Three ways. Static context attaches your interview rubric, leveling guide, and policy handbook to specific personas on every run. The rag_retrieve tool lets PeopleAnalyticsLead and CompensationSpecialist pull from ATS exports, comp bands, and engagement surveys on demand. Cross-run memory carries last week's flight-risk panel into this week's review.

Does this replace Eightfold, Beamery, Gem, or HiBob?

No, it sits next to them. Melaya is the research, draft, and analysis layer. You keep your ATS and HRIS as the system of record. Approved drafts and updates flow back into the tool you already pay for, so the recruiter and people-ops workflow does not change.

How do we keep candidate outreach from sounding like AI?

Drafts cite specific sources from the dossier, a GitHub repo, an arXiv paper, a recent talk, or a LinkedIn post, and reuse phrasings from your won-candidate email corpus loaded into the knowledge store. Recruiters can require a citation on every draft as a HITL pre-check.

Which models can we run this crew on?

Any. Claude on EmployeeRelations where the reasoning earns the cost, GPT on the drafting personas, a local Ollama on PeopleAnalyticsLead when employee data must not leave your network. Each agent picks its own model.

How fast can a People team get the first pipeline running?

With Gmail, LinkedIn, and Sheets connectors authorized, the inbound-triage workflow is a 4-node canvas: ingest application, score against rubric, draft reply, approve. Most teams ship it in a working session and have the first reviewed drafts in queue the same day.

How does this handle employee data privacy and GDPR?

HRComplianceLegal tracks legal basis, retention, and cross-border transfer for every data category the crew touches. Scoped tools keep personal data inside the workflow that owns it, and the audit log records every read and every write.

Can I audit exactly what the agent did and why?

Every run logs every step, every tool call, every model invocation, and every approval decision. Replay any candidate triage, any comp recommendation, or any ER note at any time. The audit log is the people record.
