Hudson Talent Solutions Partners with Maki People to Embed AI Hiring Intelligence Across Its Global RPO Delivery

Hudson Talent Solutions, one of the world's leading recruitment process outsourcing providers, and Maki People, the AI hiring intelligence company, today announced a strategic partnership that will bring faster, more accurate hiring decisions to Hudson Talent Solutions' clients worldwide. By embedding Maki People's AI hiring intelligence platform directly into its delivery model, Hudson Talent Solutions will give clients access to structured candidate insight at every stage of the funnel, from the first application through to final selection.

For hiring teams, this means shorter time-to-hire, higher-quality shortlists, and a more consistent candidate experience at scale. Every decision made through the system feeds back into it, building a richer picture of what drives hiring performance than any static process ever could.

What the agreement covers

Under the agreement, Hudson Talent Solutions will integrate Maki People's platform across its hiring programmes, enabling its clients to leverage AI-driven hiring intelligence from the earliest stages of the funnel through to final selection. The partnership marks one of the first integrations of a dedicated AI hiring intelligence system into a top-tier RPO offering.

AI in RPO: why the partnership matters

The partnership reflects a broader shift in how RPO providers are expected to compete: not just on operational excellence and global reach, but on the quality and speed of hiring decisions at every stage of the funnel. Everest Group's 2026 RPO PEAK Matrix assessment describes the same shift, noting that enterprises now place greater emphasis on measurable hiring outcomes when they choose a provider, which is where AI in RPO delivery earns its place.

Maki People's system deploys specialised AI agents across the candidate journey, feeding structured hiring intelligence back to the teams that need it. For Hudson Talent Solutions' clients, this translates into faster time-to-hire, higher signal-to-noise in candidate selection, and a more consistent candidate experience at scale. Critically, every decision made through the system feeds back into it, building a richer picture of what drives hiring performance than any static process ever could.

"RPO has always been about delivering better hiring outcomes, and AI is now the lever that separates good from exceptional. Partnering with Maki People gives our clients something most hiring programs don't have: intelligence that compounds over time. Every assessment, every decision, every hire makes the next one sharper. That's not a feature; that's a fundamentally different way to run talent acquisition at scale."

"Hudson Talent Solutions is exactly the kind of partner we built Maki for: a world-class team that takes hiring outcomes seriously. Together, we're bringing the intelligence running hiring, end to end, to some of the most ambitious hiring programs in the world."
