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, assessments, and interview scheduling; reducing bias and saving recruiters hundreds of hours.
What are Maki Agents?
Maki Agents are AI-powered recruitment tools, each designed for a stage of the hiring funnel. For example, Mochi conducts conversational screenings, Shiro delivers short skills tests, Ken provides in-depth assessments, and Kumi automates interview scheduling. 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.
