Interview Scheduling

Automated interview scheduling that compresses time-to-interview

Scheduling (Kumi) is the component of Maki's Orchestration layer that books interviews automatically the moment a candidate clears the threshold. Calendar sync, self-service booking, confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling, all without a recruiter touching it.

Core features

Auto-trigger to confirmed interview in one flow

Score crosses threshold

The moment a candidate clears the pass mark from Screening or Deep Assessment, Scheduling fires automatically. No manual hand-off, no waiting on a recruiter to send the link.

Self-service candidate booking

Candidate gets a branded link, sees the panel's real availability, books a slot. Confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling all handled.

Calendar sync

Bidirectional with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Panel availability stays accurate, busy slots stay blocked.

Time-zone aware

Candidate sees slots in their time zone. Panel sees slots in theirs. No mental math, no missed calls.

ATS write-back

Booked slot, confirmation status, no-shows logged automatically back to your ATS.

Workflow example with Scheduling

From threshold cleared to interview confirmed, fully self-served, before a recruiter even reads the result.

  • Candidate clears the threshold from Screening or Deep Assessment

  • Scheduling auto-fires, pulls the hiring panel's real availability across Google and Outlook calendars

  • Candidate receives a branded booking link, picks a slot, gets immediate confirmation

  • Reminders go out automatically, rescheduling handled if needed, ATS updated in real time

Differentiators

Scheduling is not a bolted-on tool. It is the connective tissue automatically routing candidates between stages.

  • Triggered by signal, not by a recruiter: Fires the moment a candidate clears the threshold. No manual hand-off step that adds days to the funnel.

  • Multi-interviewer aware: Most scheduling tools handle 1:1. Maki coordinates panels with real availability constraints across multiple interviewers.

  • Brand-native, not generic: The candidate never sees a Calendly or Zoom screen. The booking flow lives inside your brand experience.

Security

Technology & trust

From compliance certifications to bias audits and AI Act readiness, Maki is built on transparency, safety, and fairness.

  • Bias-audited AI

  • Explainable scoring

  • Ethical AI standards

FAQ

Questions about Maki?

How does Tomo help reduce interview bias?

By making interviews structured and consistent. Every candidate for a role runs through the same plan and is asked about the same competencies, and every observation is anchored in verbatim transcript evidence rather than in memory or gut feel.

Does Tomo guide the interviewer during the call?

Yes. Tomo keeps the interview plan live in front of the interviewer, flags when time is running short on a competency, and surfaces moments worth following up on, so nothing important gets missed. It does not take over the conversation. The interviewer stays in control.

Which video platforms does Tomo work with?

Tomo joins interviews on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet when invited.

Does Tomo replace the interviewer?

No. Tomo handles the capture, structure, and admin so the interviewer can stay fully present with the candidate. The human still asks the questions, reads the person, and makes the decision, now with better structure and evidence behind it.

What is Tomo?

Tomo is Maki's interview co-pilot. It joins your interviews, captures and transcribes them, runs a structured interview plan built by role and competency, guides the interviewer live, and delivers structured notes, competency-level evidence, and a report connected to each candidate inside Maki.

How does Tomo help interviewers?

Tomo is a co-pilot for whoever runs the interview. Live, it handles the plan, pacing and notes so they can focus on the candidate. Afterwards, it turns the conversation into a structured summary. And over time, its insights help interviewers learn from their own interviews. The interviewer stays in charge throughout. Tomo just makes the job easier and the decision better-grounded.
