MakoHire company and services reference
A plain summary of who MakoHire is, what it recruits for, how a search runs, and where to find every page on makohire.ai.
Who MakoHire is
MakoHire provides permanent, direct-hire recruiting for utility technology and engineering teams. Utilities and energy are the focus, and suitable enterprise technology searches in other sectors are welcome.
MakoHire is a Mako Professionals company. It recruits for permanent roles only. Contract and contract-to-hire consultants come from Mako Professionals.
Founder and president: Tyson Franco. Office: 900 E Indiantown Road, Suite 200A, Jupiter, FL 33477.
Why permanent hires
Utility systems outlive the people who build them. Documentation records what a system does; the reasons behind its configuration stay with the people who built it, and they leave when the program ends. MakoHire recruits the permanent people who own the system after go-live, ideally while the program is still running and that knowledge is still in the building.
What MakoHire recruits for
- Oracle Utilities: CC&B and CCS functional analysts, OUAF developers, C2M and MDM specialists, and application and support leads; also WAM, NMS and ORMB roles.
- SAP for Utilities (SAP IS-U): device management, billing, FI-CA and EDM specialists, ABAP developers, and SAP application leads, including S/4HANA Utilities.
- Utility ERP and CIS: billing, metering, work and asset management, finance and the integration layer.
- Microsoft, cloud, cybersecurity and infrastructure roles.
- Utility engineering: protection and controls, substation, transmission planning, distribution, utility SCADA and grid operations engineers, plus nuclear, gas, water and wastewater, civil and structural, and environmental and permitting engineers, including power infrastructure for data centers and other large loads.
- Technology leadership: CIO, CTO, VP, director and program leadership.
These are permanent employees joining the employer's payroll, not consulting resources. Employers define any required licenses and remain responsible for verifying them.
Who it is for
- Enterprise: investor-owned utilities and large energy companies.
- Mid-market: co-ops, public power, municipal utilities and water districts.
- Hiring leaders: CIOs, IT and application directors, CIS and ERP owners, engineering managers, and HR partners who run technical searches.
Engagement models
Retained Search
For leadership and business-critical roles. A committed, prioritized search with a dedicated Talent Partner and a defined delivery timeline, with a market map, a qualified shortlist and structured search updates until the role is filled.
Engaged Search
For specialist roles that have been open too long. A lighter commitment than retained, with the same focused sourcing effort.
Talent Pipeline
For teams that hire steadily. Ongoing recruiting capacity, or a fixed-term engagement scoped to a defined set of roles. It covers the available market for those roles rather than committing to a fixed number of candidates.
Commercial terms are set per engagement and discussed directly. MakoHire does not publish prices.
How a search runs
- Confirm the requirements: the systems in scope, the environment the person joins, and what they need to own.
- Direct outreach by a Talent Partner to people who do the work and are open to a permanent move.
- Evaluation against the job, with role-specific questions, plus interest, availability and compensation expectations.
- Search updates on an agreed, realistic timeline.
