The differences that matter

  1. 1

    Scope. Maki is a suite: a skills screener, a voice interviewer, a scheduler, a live-interview co-pilot and a deeper assessment product, consolidated into one recommendation card. HRMLESS is the voice interview and the competency score.

  2. 2

    Certification. Maki publishes ISO 27001. HRMLESS publishes SOC 2. Both are recognised, and which one your security review wants is worth checking before you shortlist.

  3. 3

    Assessment method. Maki adds a psychometric and skills-test library scored against validated criteria. HRMLESS infers competencies from the interview itself, weighted against your own top performers.

  4. 4

    Governance documentation. Both publish an independent Local Law 144 bias audit and a human-oversight position. Maki additionally publishes EU AI Act alignment and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

Which one to choose

Choose HRMLESS when

  • Your security review is written around SOC 2.
  • You want the interview to carry the assessment, rather than adding a separate test stage for candidates to complete.
  • You want weightings calibrated to the people already succeeding in the role.
  • You want to start on one requisition rather than adopt a suite.

Choose Maki when

  • Psychometric and skills-test depth is central to how you assess, not incidental.
  • You hire across many languages, particularly in Europe.
  • Your procurement prefers or requires ISO 27001.
  • You want a co-pilot for the human interviews that happen after the screen.
  • EU AI Act alignment and published accessibility conformance are on your requirements list.

Questions

Maki publishes ISO 27001, a Trust Center, an independent Local Law 144 bias audit by Holistic AI, a human-oversight policy, an explainability statement, EU AI Act alignment and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. HRMLESS publishes SOC 2, an independent bias audit and its NIST AI RMF alignment.
