# AI Employee Marketplace

Browse and hire AI employees in Sistava's AI Employee Marketplace. Preview each role's skills, duties, tools, and persona before you hire.

Stop writing job descriptions and interviewing candidates. The marketplace gives you 14 pre-built AI employees across marketing, sales, support, engineering, research, and operations. Each one arrives with domain-specific skills, behavioral rules, tool connections, and a persona tuned for the role. You click "Hire," and they start working.

Need a content writer? It already knows SEO best practices, brand voice guidelines, and how to draft blog posts in your style. Need a sales development rep? It comes configured with prospecting workflows, CRM integration, and follow-up cadences. The Marketing Team package includes a team lead, content writer, strategist, designer, and social media manager. The Sales Team covers the entire pipeline from lead generation to account management. Hiring either team takes under 30 seconds.

Every marketplace employee is a starting point, not a ceiling. After hiring, you can add skills, connect new tools, adjust the persona, or change the AI model. The marketplace gets you to productive in seconds. Customization gets you to perfect over days.

New roles are added to the marketplace regularly based on customer demand. If a role you need does not exist yet, you can build it yourself with the Custom Employee Builder and share it with your team.

## Browse and Hire Pre-Built AI Employees in Seconds

The Sistava Marketplace gives you instant access to 14 pre-configured AI employee roles, from Sales Development Rep to Executive Assistant to Customer Support Agent. Each role ships with a curated set of skills, tools, duties, and a persona tuned for that job function, so you skip the setup and go straight to productive work.

Two full AI teams are also available: a Growth Team and an Operations Team. Hiring a team means every AI agent in that group arrives pre-wired to collaborate, with a designated leader who coordinates work and delegates tasks to the right teammates.

Unlike generic AI chatbot templates, every marketplace role is built around real workflows. A Marketing Analyst AI employee knows how to research competitors, draft campaign briefs, and track performance metrics, not just answer questions.

## What Each Role Includes Out of the Box

Every pre-built AI agent in the marketplace comes with a defined persona, a starting set of skills it has mastered, and a duty list that governs how it behaves on every interaction. You can review the full profile before you hire, just like reviewing a resume.

Tools are pre-assigned based on role requirements. A Research Analyst arrives with web search and document analysis enabled. A Sales rep arrives connected to your CRM workflow. You can always add or remove tools after hiring.

## Faster Than Any Onboarding Process You Have Ever Run

Traditional employee onboarding takes days or weeks. Hiring an AI employee from the marketplace takes under 30 seconds. Select a role, give the employee a name, and they are ready to receive their first task.

This speed matters most when you are scaling. If your support volume spikes or you are entering a new market, you can stand up an entire AI workforce in minutes, not months. Autonomous agents that are ready to work the moment they are hired change what scaling actually costs.

## How It Works

**Browse a catalog of pre-built AI employees, pick the role you need, and hire in one click.**

The marketplace offers 14 ready-to-hire AI agents across roles like Marketing Manager, Software Engineer, Customer Support Lead, and more, plus 2 complete pre-assembled teams. Each role ships with a curated set of skills, duties, tools, and a persona tuned for that function. Nothing to configure before your first conversation.

When you hire from the marketplace, the AI employee completes a guided onboarding flow, introduces itself, reviews your company profile, and starts working the same day. Every role is a starting point you can extend, not a locked template. Add skills, reassign tools, adjust the persona, and the agent adapts without losing its core expertise.

## FAQ

### How many AI employee roles are available in the marketplace?

The marketplace currently offers 14 individual AI employee roles and 2 full pre-built teams. Roles span functions like sales, marketing, operations, research, customer support, and executive assistance.

### Can I customize a marketplace AI employee after hiring?

Yes. Marketplace roles are starting configurations, not locked templates. After hiring, you can add skills, adjust duties, swap the underlying AI model, and connect additional tools. Think of it as a strong default you can tune to your specific needs.

### What is the difference between hiring an individual role and hiring a full team?

A full team includes multiple AI agents pre-configured to work together, with a leader agent who delegates and coordinates. Hiring a team gives you multi-agent orchestration out of the box, without needing to set up the org structure yourself.

### Do marketplace AI agents work immediately, or do they need training first?

They work immediately on general tasks within their role. For company-specific knowledge, like your products, processes, or brand voice, you will want to upload documents or connect a knowledge source to get the best results.

### Can I hire a pre-built AI employee without setting everything up from scratch?

Yes. The marketplace offers 14 ready-to-hire AI employee roles across two pre-configured teams, so you can deploy in minutes. Each role comes with relevant skills, duties, and tools already assigned.

### Do marketplace AI employees come pre-connected to my tools, or do I need to connect them myself?

Each role arrives with the right tools pre-assigned for the job, like web search and document analysis for a Research Analyst or CRM workflows for a Sales rep. You still connect your own accounts, your actual CRM, inbox, or Slack workspace, during onboarding so the employee works against your real data from day one, not a demo environment.

## More in Fast Onboarding

- [Hire an AI Employee](/en/features/hire/hire_individual_employee): Browse the Marketplace and hire an AI employee for a specific role: a department specialist, a personal assistant, or a custom role you define from scratch. Hiring is free and instant. You land straight in the new employee's chat, and every skill, duty, and tool it starts with can be changed afterward from its dashboard.
- [Interview Before Hiring](/en/features/hire/interview_employee): Chat with any employee template before you hire it, on the public marketplace pages or inside the app, to see how it thinks and communicates about your actual work. When you're convinced, say so in the conversation or click Hire; nothing is added to your team until you decide.
- [Employee Builder](/en/features/hire/custom_employee): Employee Builder is the "Build Your Own" card in the Marketplace: instead of hiring a pre-built role, you start from a blank template and set the name, role, and persona yourself. The new hire starts with one skill, Research & Brief, and nothing else pre-assigned, so you add skills, duties, and tools from the Skills, Duties, and Tools tabs to match the exact job you need done. It is a Custom-plan feature; every other plan hires from the marketplace's pre-built roles instead.
- [Personal Assistants](/en/features/hire/personal_assistants): Every account starts with a Personal Assistant already hired, ready to talk before you decide who else to bring on. No marketplace trip, no setup, no decision to make first.
- [Get Started Through Conversation](/en/features/hire/employee_driven_onboarding): When you hire an AI employee, they land in your chat with a short greeting that names their role and what they handle, then ask what you need first. There is no setup wizard, no progress bar, and no settings panel to fill in before they can work. You customize name, persona, skills, and tools later from their dashboard, but none of that is required before the first message.
- [Model Selection](/en/features/hire/model_selection): Every employee runs on a model you choose, not one fixed default. Switch models per employee from the AI Models page whenever a job calls for more reasoning power or a cheaper, faster response.
- [Manage Employee Status](/en/features/hire/employee_state_lifecycle): Pause, resume, or let go of an AI employee without losing anything. Suspend an employee when you don't need them right now and bring them back exactly as you left them, or terminate one and keep their full chat history and work record in your Alumni list. Terminated employees stop counting against your plan's employee limit, and you can re-hire the same role later.
- [Hire a Full Team](/en/features/hire/hire_full_team): Hire a complete pre-built team from the Marketplace in one click: every member configured, a leader assigned, and sprint planning ready to start. Or build a custom team from your existing hires, pick a leader, and set it up yourself. Either way, you talk to one leader and they coordinate the rest.
- [Keep Former Team Members](/en/features/hire/alumni_team): When you let an employee go, they don't disappear. Sistava moves them into your Alumni list, where their chat history and work stay intact and readable. If you need them back, one click restores them to active with everything they knew still in place.
- [Employee Avatar Upload](/en/features/hire/employee_avatar_upload): Upload a custom profile photo for any AI employee straight from their Profile tab, replacing the default generated avatar. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files up to 5 MB are accepted, and the change takes effect immediately. The photo appears everywhere that employee shows up: chat, the org chart, the virtual office, notifications, and task cards. Any member of your workspace can change it, not only the person who hired that employee.
- [Multiple Workspaces](/en/features/hire/multi_tenancy): Create additional workspaces under the same login, each with its own AI employees, conversations, training data, billing, and collaborators. Nothing crosses a workspace boundary by default, so a separate client, business, or department stays fully isolated. Your plan sets how many workspaces you can create, and you switch between them without signing out.
- [Academy Live Sessions](/en/features/hire/academy_live_sessions): Learn how to put an AI employee to work in a live session with an Applied AI Engineer, tailored to your business. Sessions run about an hour, one on one or in a small group, and walk through the same curriculum as the free Academy course. Free for founders, one hundred dollars per session otherwise.
