Bottom line
AI hiring agents for screening, assessments and interviews that sit on top of your ATS. Credit-based and quote-based.
Stands out for: You pay for candidate interactions on credits, not recruiter licenses, across four named agents.
Watch out for: No public rate card. Pricing is set per deal, and the product targets enterprise volume hiring.
Overview
Maki People sells AI hiring agents that run on top of an existing ATS. Shiro handles screening, Ken runs cognitive, behavioral and technical assessments, Mochi conducts conversational interviews in the browser or by phone, and Kumi supports recruiters with insights. The platform connects to more than 30 ATS and HR systems and offers separate production and sandbox environments, role-based admin controls and audit logs.
Teams pick Maki when high-volume screening should be handled by agents rather than extra recruiter seats. Pricing is sales-quoted on a credit model tied to candidate interactions, not licenses. Every customer gets guided onboarding, a customer success manager, product and integration workshops and multilingual support. Data is hosted in the EU by default, with encryption and a formal data processing agreement.
