Maki, the startup founded in 2022 by Maxime Legardez, Paul-Louis Caylar and Benjamin Chino, wants to establish itself as a key player in the transformation of recruitment. Its technology, an AI conversational agent, automates 80% of HR processes, from candidate pre-screening to final decision-making. The startup communicates on hiring times divided by three, turnover reduced by 20% and efficiency gains estimated at several million euros for client companies.
Deployed in more than 50 countries, Maki collaborates with players such as H&M, BNP Paribas, Deloitte and FIFA. In 2024, the startup recorded 300% growth, driven by these strategic partnerships and the increasing adoption of its solutions within Fortune 500 companies.
Maki wants to introduce new HR performance indicators. By optimizing workflows, its chatbots measure the effectiveness of recruitment campaigns, cost per hire and candidate satisfaction, while providing real-time insights to adjust ongoing strategies. These innovations make HR a proactive and strategic function, an asset in times of crisis.
To support its development, Maki announces a fundraising of 26 million euros in Series Aled by Blossom Capital, with participation from DST Global, Frst, GFC and Picus Capital. This financing aims to accelerate product innovation, strengthen the workforce with 60 recruitments planned in 2025, and intensify commercial expansion in the United States, where the startup already generates 30% of its activity. A hub will also be established in New York to manage this growth.
