A note on diversity @MakiPeople

“Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.”

We want to offer the best candidate experience possible by letting everyone apply, ensuring that the process lasts ~3 weeks from the moment you get invited to the first step.

• Step 1: A short assessment on Maki (~25mins) 📂

  This is the occasion for you to discover our product more in-depth and to demonstrate your fit, skills & motivation (~25mins)

• Step 2: A call with your hiring manager (~1 hour) 🤝🏼

  If we believe you may be a good match, we’ll arrange a first call with your hiring manager to cover the basis: your experience, your vision of the role and your interest in joining us.

• Step 3: A deeper exploration of who you are with our co-founders (45mins) 👀

  We’ll then arrange a call with Paul-Louis, our COO and one other co-founder.

  Those structured conversations aim at covering skills we have not covered in the assessment as well as your fit to our values & vision. At any point, you’ll have the opportunity to ask all your questions, including the tough ones.

• Step 4: Informal meetup with your future team ☕

  We’d also like for you to be able to meet your future colleagues! These meetings (online or in real life if and when possible) will be a chance for you to familiarise yourself with the team, our way of working, and again, to ask any questions you may have!

• Step 5: Your offer 💌

  If we have a match, we will send you an offer asap.

• Step 6: Your onboarding 🧑‍🚀

  We will help you through the contract details and make sure you have everything to make an impact. Come and celebrate your offer with the team 🤟
