How Mako recruits
Requirements first.
Role-specific screening.
Clear communication.
Focused recruiting for enterprise technology roles across SAP, Oracle, Microsoft and cloud. We maintain relationships across the skill sets we support, screen against each assignment's requirements, and discuss availability and timing clearly.
Why Mako relationships last
Relationships last because the standard does not change between the first requirement and the tenth.
We respond faster
Because timing matters. Speed builds confidence.
We present stronger candidates
Because preparation wins. Consistency builds trust.
We stay longer
Because trust compounds. Trust builds partnerships.
We're already sourcing before the request arrives
While others start searching when a requirement opens, Mako is already sourcing, screening and qualifying. We prepare early, build continuously and stay ahead.

How we vet
Every candidate is screened by our internal recruitment team, which has experience recruiting across the technical and functional skill sets we support. We tailor screening to your requirements, using role-specific questions to explore relevant experience, project responsibilities and how candidates approach the work. We evaluate their responses against the assignment's requirements before deciding whom to present.
How we engage
Contract. For defined scope and defined duration, including surge capacity during a program and specialist depth a client cannot justify holding permanently.
Contract-to-hire. Where a client evaluates someone on real work before making a permanent commitment. Full-time hiring is supported by MakoHire.
SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, cloud and utilities
Our recruiting focus spans SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, cloud, cybersecurity and infrastructure. Within utilities, that includes Oracle Utilities (CC&B, CCS, C2M, MDM, WAM, NMS and OUAF) and SAP IS-U, plus the metering and integration landscape around them.
The same screening standard applies across the other industries we serve: manufacturing, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, financial institutions, pharmaceutical and medical device, life sciences, logistics, technology, higher education and hospitals, on SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, PeopleSoft and the cloud and DevOps platforms underneath them.
See our utilities practice or the full list of industries we serve.
What clients say when it counts
"Both candidates from Mako were stellar. I would not advise them to change anything about their approach. Our final selection was more like picking between a Ferrari and Lamborghini; no wrong choice to be made."
"Mako's team took time to thoroughly understand the resource need in my team. They listened to how I described the team and my expectations to key in on the culture of the team. The result is that a very high percentage of candidates they presented to me were a good fit for the team's needs."
"Based on the quick turnaround, cost-effective rates, and value brought by the talent they provided, we have turned to Mako to engage additional talent to improve the implementation process further."
