Facts at a Glance:

  • Sevayo is now powered by an AI assistant that guides hiring managers through workforce decisions.
  • New voice-enabled intake allows hiring managers to start requisitions quickly and easily.
  • Market rates and benchmark data are available within the platform at the point of requisition.

TROY, Mich., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kelly® (Nasdaq: KELYA, KELYB), a global workforce strategy and solutions provider, has introduced new capabilities in Sevayo®, its proprietary workforce technology platform that offers employers greater visibility and actionable insights across every worker type and channel. The enhancements include a generative AI assistant, voice-enabled requisition intake, and live market data, helping hiring managers make more informed talent decisions from the start of the requisition process.

“Workforce outcomes are largely determined at the requisition, when a hiring manager decides what to buy, from whom, and at what rate,” said Alan Stukalsky, chief product and technology officer at Kelly. “Sevayo’s AI-powered capabilities give hiring managers the guidance, data, and support they need in that moment, so the right decision is also the easiest one.”

Sevayo connects clients’ existing systems with external talent channels, including contingent staffing, services procurement, freelance talent, and direct sourcing, on one unified platform. It brings workforce information together across connected vendor management (VMS), applicant tracking (ATS), and human resources information systems (HRIS), helping organizations build a complete view of talent, activity, and spend.

New capabilities include:

  • Generative AI assistant: Hiring managers can ask questions in natural language and receive guidance as they assess requisition needs and workforce options.
  • Voice-enabled intake: Hiring managers can begin a requisition simply by speaking, making the intake process faster and more accessible.
  • Live market data: Benchmark and rate information is built into the requisition workflow, giving managers market context as they make hiring decisions.

Sevayo is designed to route each talent request to the appropriate channel and apply governance and compliance controls before a requisition is placed. Its unified data environment aggregates and enriches information across talent types, sources, systems, and spend categories to give clients a single source of workforce insight.

The platform brings practical AI and decision support into workforce planning and operations. Talent market predictions and scenario modeling help organizations anticipate talent needs and weigh options based on cost, compliance, and speed. Real-time labor-market intelligence can inform pay rates, skills-gap planning, and competitive positioning.

Sevayo further aligns clients’ Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) data to support integrated workforce programs. It streamlines portfolio-level performance insights across both contingent and full-time hiring, while business-ready dashboards make supplier activity and workforce spend more transparent. That cohesive view is changing how clients plan their workforce.

Kelly made the enhancements after bringing its Helix, Helix UX, and Sevayo Insights tools together under the Sevayo® name. The combined platform is the foundation for future agentic automation across Kelly programs as the company continues to build the infrastructure and expand use cases over time.

“Clients are asking for unified, strategic solutions that cut across their entire workforce,” Stukalsky said. “Sevayo is the foundation of our workforce programs, so intelligence is built into everything we deliver, not bolted on afterward.”
