Partnership combines Curately’s agentic AI talent platform with People2.0’s global workforce compliance and payroll expertise
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — May 14, 2026 — People2.0, a global provider of workforce compliance and payroll services, today announced a strategic partnership with Curately.ai, an agentic AI-powered talent platform. The partnership brings together Curately’s advanced sourcing and candidate engagement technology with People2.0’s employer of record (EOR) and agent of record (AOR) services, helping staffing firms and enterprises find qualified talent faster while ensuring compliant engagement across jurisdictions.
Curately is an AI Candidate Conversion Platform that helps teams go from “find” to “filled” by connecting AI sourcing and matching with automated candidate conversations, qualification, and scheduling in one unified workflow. Rather than relying on disconnected tools, Curately enables teams to find the right talent, continuously engage candidates as they move forward, and convert that momentum into interviews and filled roles. With Maya, Curately’s Voice AI Recruiter, teams can engage, screen, and schedule candidates around the clock. By integrating with People2.0’s compliance infrastructure, staffing firms and internal talent acquisition teams can now move seamlessly from candidate identification to compliant placement.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to bringing innovative solutions to talent suppliers and enterprises,” said Craig Cohen, Chief Revenue Officer at People2.0. “Curately’s conversational AI and direct sourcing capabilities help our partners build stronger talent pipelines, and People2.0 ensures those candidates are engaged compliantly across any jurisdiction. Together, we’re delivering better outcomes: faster placements, lower costs, and improved candidate experiences.”
The partnership addresses persistent inefficiencies in hiring by automating manual sourcing and screening tasks while maintaining compliance throughout the engagement process. Staffing companies and internal talent acquisition teams benefit from:
- Faster talent activation through AI-powered candidate matching and automated screening
- Compliant workforce engagement via People2.0’s global EOR and AOR services
- Reduced recruiter workload with Maya handling initial candidate conversations 24/7
- Improved candidate experience through branded communication sequences and human-like AI interactions
- Scalable hiring workflows for distributed and contingent workforces
“Partnering with leaders like People2.0 who share our commitment to smarter, more human-centric hiring is essential,” said Manish Karani, CEO at Curately.ai. “By combining Curately’s industry-leading technology with People2.0’s workforce solutions and compliance expertise, we’re improving hiring efficiency and compliance while preserving connection with candidates. This partnership will help our clients unlock greater efficiency, reduce time to fill, and deliver richer candidate experiences that strengthen long-term workforce outcomes.”
For staffing firms looking to place talent faster without adding compliance risk, and for enterprises seeking to optimize their contingent workforce programs, the People2.0 and Curately.ai partnership offers a complete solution from sourcing through compliant engagement.
