Companies Are Turning to AI Agent Job Recruiters

According to the latest statistics, employers are swamped by job applications. For that reason, plenty of companies are turning to AI platforms to assist. Take Maki, for example.

Founded in 2022, Maki is an AI agent platform that interviews candidates through voice, video, or text. The company claims to have experienced over 300% growth in 2024, after securing hiring contracts across 50+ markets with companies such as H&M, BNP Paribas, and more.

Maki’s AI-based agents converse with prospective candidates in natural language, and, says the company, can automate the process by 80%, with a 3x reduction in time-to-hire. However, if this sounds impersonal, it’s far from that.

According to CEO Maxime Legardez, “If a candidate gets rejected, they get personalized feedback, with some tips to learn new things to help them improve their chances next time, thus also making them a good ambassador of the brand.” He added that “98% of the candidates for BNP Paribas now say this is the best recruitment process of their life.

Operation X: Elon’s Secret Blueprint

Once upon a time, Ant Group was just a humble little fintech startup, born as a payment solution for Alibaba. It was the quiet kid in the corner, handling transactions for e-commerce buyers too busy to notice the revolution brewing behind the checkout button.

Skip ahead twenty years… Ant shed its underdog image. Until it ran afoul of Chinese regulators, it was the apex predator, clawing at the gates of global fintech with a hunger for total dominance. In all, it served over 1.3 billion users and 80 million merchants.

How did it get there? Not (entirely) with brute force, but with something far more powerful: hyperautomation, or the smart use of AI and automation tools to create a system where people, machines, and processes work seamlessly together.

And now, a similar hyperautomated contender is emerging in America. This contender has the ambition to become an all-in-one financial superapp… and the resources to make it happen. You guessed it: we're talking about Elon Musk.

Nvidia Blasts Biden Admin Over "Misguided" AI Chip Restrictions, Praises Trump

Nvidia blasted the Biden administration for implementing “misguided” rules limiting shipments of AI computer chips – and praised incoming President-elect Donald Trump – in a rare public broadside this week.

The chip giant — which has ridden the AI wave to become the most valuable company in the world — took issue with last-minute rules unveiled Monday that cap the number of advanced chips most nations can buy from US firms.

The new policy would also tighten requirements on exporting AI-related data for companies that create closed-source models, such as Google and OpenAI.

“In its last days in office, the Biden Administration seeks to undermine America’s leadership with a 200+ page regulatory morass, drafted in secret and without proper legislative review,” Ned Finkle, Nvidia’s vice president of external affairs, said.
