Meet AVA,

Our AI Recruiting Assistant

Helping us connect with candidates faster, gather meaningful insights earlier, and create a more responsive hiring experience.

Built to empower recruiters, not replace them.

We know applying for a new opportunity takes time, and we appreciate the effort you put into sharing your experience with us.

To help us better understand your background and career goals, we use AVA, our Voice AI Recruiting Assistant. AVA may reach out after you apply to learn more about what you’re looking for and give you the opportunity to share more than what’s on your resumé.

The information you provide goes directly to our recruiting team. AVA does not make hiring decisions—our recruiters do. It simply helps us gather additional context so we can have more meaningful conversations and better connect candidates with the right opportunities.

Our goal is simple: to create a more responsive, personal hiring experience where every candidate has the opportunity to be heard.

Because great recruiting starts with listening.

The recruiter, on the left, wears a navy blazer over a patterned blouse and has her hair in a bun; she is smiling warmly and gesturing with her right hand while holding a pen in her left. She has a name tag and a resume is visible on the table in front of her. The candidate, on the right, is an Asian man wearing a blue button-down shirt and a backpack; he is smiling and looking attentively at the recruiter. On the table are a coffee mug, a notebook, a glass of water, a closed portfolio, and the resume. The background is a blurred but detailed view of other people working at tables and bookshelves, creating a warm, professional, yet relaxed atmosphere. The lighting is bright, natural daylight from a window to the left.

Why We Use Ava

Finding the right opportunity isn’t just about having the right experience—it’s also about making meaningful connections at the right time.

AVA helps us start those conversations sooner by gathering helpful information while our recruiters are actively reviewing applications and matching candidates with open positions.

Instead of waiting for schedules to align, you have the opportunity to share more about your experience, career goals, and what you’re looking for in your next role.

That gives our recruiters more context, helps us respond more consistently, and creates a smoother experience from the very beginning.

How AVA Supports the Hiring Process

Designed with You In Mind

Your time matters.
AVA reaches out early, giving you the opportunity to share more about yourself without waiting for schedules to align. The conversation starts sooner, and so does your opportunity.

Your story matters.
A resumé only tells part of who you are. AVA gives you the chance to share more about your experience, your career goals, and what you’re looking for in your next role.

Your experience matters.
AVA helps us gather information in a consistent way, so every candidate has the opportunity to share the details that matter most before speaking with a recruiter.

Your conversation matters.
By gathering key information upfront, AVA helps our recruiters come into the conversation with a better understanding of your background, allowing them to focus on what matters most—your goals, your experience, and finding the right opportunity.

Human-Centered Recruiting

At Talent Wave Asssociates, technology supports our recruiting process—it never replaces the people behind it.

AVA helps us gather information, start conversations sooner, and give our recruiters additional insight before they connect with you. But every application is reviewed by a real recruiter, and every hiring decision is made by people.

Our recruiters take the time to understand your experience, recognize your potential, and connect you with opportunities where you can thrive.

Technology helps us start the conversation. People make the decisions.

Questions About AVA?

AVA helps streamline the early stages of recruiting by gathering consistent, job-relevant information from candidates. This allows our recruiting team to review details more efficiently and focus on meaningful conversations later in the process.

AVA is Talent Wave’s Voice AI Recruiting Assistant and is used as part of our recruiting process to help us learn more about candidates and connect people with opportunities. If you receive a message from AVA, it will be related to a position you applied for or an opportunity where we are evaluating your background.

If you ever have questions about a communication you receive, you can always contact our team directly at contact@talentwaveassociates.com.

AVA asks role-related questions such as your work history, relevant skills, certifications, availability, location preferences, and other qualifications specific to the position you applied for.

If you miss a call, AVA may attempt to reconnect depending on the role and timing. In some cases, you may also receive a follow-up message with instructions on how to continue the process.

Yes—if your experience appears to be a strong match for the position you applied for, one of our recruiters may reach out to continue the conversation. AVA helps us gather additional information, but our recruiting team reviews candidates and determines which applicants move forward in the process.

The information you provide is used solely for employment-related purposes, including candidate review and role matching within our recruiting process. It is shared only with authorized members of our recruiting team.

Yes. Your information is handled in accordance with our internal recruiting and data protection practices and is stored within secure systems used for hiring and candidate management.
