The promise of AI in Talent Acquisition has been held hostage by implementation timelines that stretch across quarters, draining momentum, budget, and executive patience before a single efficiency gain is realised. 

But what if the entire transformation - deployment, calibration, and measurable outcome - could be compressed into four weeks? 

This is the lived experience of Wise, the global financial technology leader, and their Global Head of Talent, Jerome LeClerq. Faced with the same pressures that paralyse most organisations - scaling hiring across multiple markets, reducing recruiter administrative burden, and accelerating time-to-hire without compromising candidate experience - Wise partnered with Maki People to achieve what conventional wisdom deems impossible. 

In this exclusive interview, Jerome reveals exactly how Maki was implemented in twenty-eight days, the specific efficiency gains unlocked, and why speed of deployment proved as critical as the technology itself.
