HireVue made the interview digital. Maki makes it measurable.
Science-backed, predictive skill assessments that convert interviews into actionable insights, not static video reviews with limited depth.
One digitises the interview.
One replaces the guesswork around it.
HireVue introduced digital interviews and offers a broad portfolio of video assessments, job simulations, structured interview guides, and AI-powered workflows. It is widely used by enterprises hiring at scale and provides both asynchronous and live interview formats supported by validated assessment research.
Maki takes a broader AI-first approach, combining conversational screening, structured skill assessments, scheduling, and automation in one system. With more than 300 validated assessments, multilingual journeys, and transparent scoring, Maki helps teams collect consistent skill signals across roles and markets.
While HireVue centers its evaluation around video and simulation workflows, Maki brings together interviews, assessments, conversational flows, and analytics to create a unified source of hiring intelligence.
