About the company

Maki People sells AI hiring software built around autonomous “agents” that run parts of recruiting workflows like screening and interviewing. Public materials position the product as high-volume, skills-based hiring with a focus on consistency and speed. The company has public fundraising communications tied to growth and international expansion. Hiring content also leans into a high-intensity startup culture and individual ownership.

Locations and presence

Maki People lists Paris as HQ, with office locations also shown for New York City and London. Current hiring shows roles across Paris and New York, with some roles mentioning hybrid or limited remote patterns.

Palpable Score

52.6

/ 100

Maki People is accessible to early-career candidates mainly through internships, plus a few “first full-time” roles that still expect prior experience. The company earns points for publishing unusually clear interview steps and benefits in multiple job ads, but loses points on limited proof of consistent junior progression and mixed candidate experience signals in third-party feedback.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company advertises internships including “Software Engineer Intern” and “Growth Intern”, which are real entry points rather than “junior in name only” roles.
Maki People’s non-intern roles like “Software Engineer” are written with high ownership expectations (scoping and leading projects, system design), which pushes many new grads out.
The company’s “Customer Care Specialist - EMEA” asks for proven experience, so the most visible full-time pathway is not clearly 0–3 years friendly.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.8

/ 20

The company publishes step-by-step interview flows for roles like “Software Engineer” including screening, hiring manager interview, coding assessment, system design interview, and a final CEO round.
Maki People’s “Growth Intern” post lays out a tight process with two 30-minute calls and a 60-minute onsite case study, which sets expectations early.
The company has mixed third-party signals on follow-through, including at least one interview review describing a lack of feedback after an AI-led screening.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.5

/ 20

The company’s internship postings promise real product contribution and name the managers and teams interns work closely with, which is a useful early-career support signal.
Maki People frames the culture around autonomy and “embrace intensity”, which can be high learning, but can also be rough for first-job starters without explicit coaching structures.
The company has limited public detail on mentoring, onboarding plans, or manager 1:1 cadence, and at least one employee review mentions limited support and career development.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.8

/ 20

The company lists concrete benefits in several postings, including equity references, lunch card budget, hybrid policy, and healthcare coverage language for some roles.
Maki People includes at least one published salary range on a US-based role (“Senior Customer Success Account Manager - US”), which is a pay-transparency positive.
The company rarely publishes salary ranges across the broader job set, which limits confidence for early-career candidates trying to benchmark offers.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.5

/ 20

The company does not publish early-career outcome proof such as promotion examples, levelling, or internal mobility stories tied to junior hires.
Maki People has some third-party employee and interview feedback available, but it is a small sample and includes both positive and negative experiences, so retention and growth patterns remain unclear.
The company’s job ads talk about progression and “transversal mobility” for roles like Customer Care, but there’s no public track record shown for how often that happens in practice.
