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.

FAQ
Questions about Maki?
What is Maki People?
Maki People is an AI hiring software that helps companies recruit faster, fairer, and more effectively. Our platform uses intelligent agents to automate candidate screening and assessment; reducing bias and saving recruiters hundreds of hours.
What are Maki Agents?
Maki Agents are AI-powered recruitment tools, designed to make the hiring process more efficient and accurate. For example, Mochi conducts conversational screenings, Shiro delivers short skills tests, and Ken provides in-depth assessments. Together, they create a structured and data-driven hiring process.
What is Mochi, the AI screening agent?
Mochi replaces the manual recruiter phone screen with automated conversations. Candidates complete a branded voice or web interview, where Mochi checks eligibility, motivation, and language skills. This saves recruiter time and ensures every candidate is treated consistently.
What is Shiro, the skills assessment agent?
Shiro delivers short, science-based skill tests early in the funnel. It quickly identifies qualified candidates with cognitive, behavioral, and technical assessments. Companies use Shiro to replace subjective CV screening and improve fairness in hiring.
What is the difference between Shiro and Ken?
Shiro is used early in the process for fast, high-volume skill screening. Ken is used later for deeper evaluations; like case studies, coding challenges, or leadership assessments. Ken is only available as an add-on to Shiro, ensuring structured, cost-effective recruitment.
