Maki’s AI-based agents converse with prospective candidates in natural language, and, says the company, can automate the process by 80%, with a 3x reduction in time-to-hire.
In an interview with TechCrunch, Maxime Legardez, CEO of Maki said: “We use AI to build agents that our clients can customize to their needs, and basically the agents to replicate task made by humans in recruiting. Our agents can source, screen, schedule, and interview candidates.”
He said the agent built for clothing giant H&M is called Maria. It can call candidates over the phone or be a visual avatar on a video call: “We have an embedded avatar with Synthesia, so it’s a very visual experience. She can talk 24/7 to candidates in multiple languages and have five, 10, or 15-minute conversations with candidates to assess hundreds of skills,” said Legardez.
