Talentpilot vs Maki
Maki combines recruiting automation, voice screening and structured assessments. Talentpilot connects job architecture and capability mapping with recruiting through Alex, development with Niko and internal mobility. Consider Talentpilot when you want one platform to define what roles require, evaluate candidates and employees, and turn capability gaps into ongoing development.
Build the hiring workflow. Continue development after the hire.
Alex is an enterprise-ready AI recruiter with configurable hiring process workflows and audit logs. Niko builds on relevant hiring context to support onboarding and repeated practice against the role’s requirements.
A visual workflow with criteria for each stage
Build resume screening, phone or online interviews, communications and human review into one sequence. Give each interview stage its own criteria, branch on results and configure retries. Maki also orchestrates hiring; Talentpilot makes the visual workflow and stage-specific configuration central to Alex.
Evidence you can trace to the interview
Alex’s criterion-level evaluations link to transcript timestamps, with playback where recordings are retained. Her evaluations use your reusable company criteria and sit within the configured hiring workflow. Maki’s Mochi and Ken also provide evidence behind their assessments.
Development that continues beyond a scorecard
Maki documents optional development scorecards with feedback and suggestions. Niko runs recurring role-play, feedback and follow-up. With a connected calendar, he can proactively offer preparation before a meeting, while work-development evidence informs the person’s capability profile.
Consolidate tools around one job architecture
Define roles and levels in Talentpilot, map people’s capabilities against them, and use that evidence in recruiting, development and internal mobility. Job architecture, skills mapping, Alex’s recruiting workflows and Niko’s coaching work together, reducing the need to maintain separate tools and manually transfer role requirements and development priorities.
Turn hiring evidence into the first development priority
Example product workflow
Example workflow: Alex evaluates a customer-facing candidate against your stage-specific criteria. After the hiring team decides, relevant evidence can identify an onboarding priority for Niko, such as handling objections through repeated role-play and feedback.

Common questions
Can we start with one part of Talentpilot?
Yes. You can start with recruiting through Alex or development with Niko. Job architecture, capability mapping and internal mobility can connect those workflows as your deployment expands.
Which tools could we consolidate—and what stays?
Talentpilot brings job architecture, capability mapping, recruiting with Alex, development with Niko and internal mobility into one platform. If you use separate tools for these activities, the modules you adopt can replace overlapping functions and reduce manual handoffs. Your ATS or HCM can remain connected; the replacement scope depends on your requirements and integrations.
How are interview integrity signals used?
Alex flags events such as leaving the interview tab for recruiter review. These signals do not change a candidate’s scores or ranking. Maki also uses assessment-proctoring indicators to support human review.
Can candidates decline audio and video retention?
Yes, for online interviews with the consent setting enabled. Candidates can decline audio and video retention and continue in audio-only mode. The transcript remains available for evaluation.
