Maki
Our vision is the intelligence running your hiring, end to end. HR was never built for impact: for decades it has run on legacy ATS and LMS systems designed to store records, not make decisions. Recruiters end up buried in manual screening, scheduling, and fragmented, unstructured candidate data, when they should be focused on engaging talent and making the case for who gets hired. Maki People changes that by combining validated assessment science with AI. Our platform sits inside a company's existing hiring workflow, evaluating every candidate on real evidence and turning every decision into something a recruiter can explain and defend. The result: HR teams spend less time on administrative screening and scheduling, and more time on judgment and relationship-building. Founded in 2021, Maki People is trusted by 100+ companies, including 80+ Fortune 2000 enterprises across industry such as Deloitte, Capgemini, BNP Paribas, PwC, H&M, Nespresso, ASOS, Generali, MAIF, Grant Thornton and Foundever. ✅ 45% faster time-to-hire ✅ Up to 50% reduction in turnover ✅ 250,000+ recruiter hours saved ✅ 99% candidate approval rating
