Engagedly, a AI talent management software, is making significant changes to its platform embracing Agentic AI framework. This transformation centers on using an Agentic AI framework with a coordinating super-agent called Marrisa AI.
This move aims to revolutionize how organizations manage their talent, offering new tools for both employees and HR teams.
The transformation builds upon the current HR helpdesk agent Marissa AI which celebrates its 2 year anniversary, and which has already shown promise in simplifying HR tasks. Looking ahead, Engagedly plans to roll out a comprehensive suite of agents beginning in Q2 2025. These agents will focus on key areas:
- Helping employees plan their careers and identify growth opportunities.
- Assisting with setting and tracking goals aligned with company strategies.
- Ensuring employee objectives align with organizational goals.
- Providing HR with data-driven insights for workforce planning, including identifying skill gaps and top performers.
- Assessing the talent pool to suggest development paths for high-potential employees.
This suite is powered by Agentic AI, which allows the agents to operate autonomously, learn from interactions, and adapt over time. Marrisa AI will act as the central hub, coordinating these agents to ensure a seamless experience for users.
In the past five years, the hiring landscape has been anything but predictable. From economic fluctuations to evolving job market trends, businesses have faced numerous challenges in securing top talent. Now, talent acquisition (TA) teams are poised to take charge of the hiring process with new innovations released today from iCIMS, a leading provider of talent acquisition technology. iCIMS’ winter release is largely inspired by customer feedback and designed to help recruiters navigate the shifting market with confidence.
Innovations from iCIMS’ 2025 winter release empower TA teams to:
- Offer candidates seamless, natural conversations with generative AI. A top requested enhancement by customers, iCIMS Digital Assistant now includes GenAI to engage in personalized interactions with career site visitors. The chatbot can provide quick, accurate answers to a variety of question types and offer an enhanced, user-friendly experience.
- Easily manage and streamline the application experience on Indeed and LinkedIn.* The iCIMS Apply Network is now expanded through integrations with Indeed and LinkedIn. Launched in 2024, the iCIMS Apply Network empowers TA teams to standardize their applicant experience and capture and sync candidate information into iCIMS automatically. Recruiters can now create, manage and distribute application questions on third-party job sites, including Indeed, LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter. As a result, this provides a seamless experience where candidates can apply directly on supported sites without being redirected, ultimately reducing candidate drop-off. Future releases will include additional integrations with Dalia, Hire Intelligence, JobTarget, Nexxt and Veritone Hire.
- Expand nurture channels with SMS in behavior-based campaigns. Automate multi-channel communication and capture candidates’ attention through their preferred communication channels. Rather than relying solely on email outreach, recruiters can add a new layer into behavior-based campaigns with conditional text messages, allowing them to better engage with candidates in the way they are most receptive to based on their previous interactions.
- Control career sites across devices with mobile experience management. With the Content Management System, TA teams can now preview and adjust career sites across various devices, including mobile. The self-service CMS supports recruiting and recruitment marketing teams in reviewing and publishing changes to the mobile experience fast—and without engineering intervention – to ensure a smooth editing process and responsive experience across all devices.
- Make better hiring decisions with a new visualization of interview feedback in one view. Hiring teams can now see aggregated interview feedback in a single, easy-to-access place, allowing them to review detailed feedback from multiple interviewers and providing a holistic view of each candidate. This centralized approach helps create a better recruiter experience that streamlines the decision-making process and empowers them to take informed next steps.
“Our customers rely on iCIMS to help them not only meet, but anticipate, their hiring needs,” said Nikki Grigsby, chief customer officer, iCIMS. “Whether it’s better visibility, smoother interactions or more GenAI, we’re enabling recruiters with enhancements that connect them with top talent more effectively and efficiently, giving them a competitive edge.”
