ABOUT ME
Co-founder at Knockri
Entrepreneur, A.I Tech Enthusiast, Futurist, Advocate of Diversity and Inclusion.
Hey! My name is, Maaz Rana. I am currently helping change the way we choose the people we interview. I spend a lot of time pursuing my mission to help eliminate unconscious hiring bias, through establishing equitable hiring processes for large enterprises.
I've Co-founded Knockri, where we have built an artificial intelligence that analyzes peoples verbal and non-verbal communication skills through video, written and audio-based skills assessment tools, and can quantify whether someone is empathetic or confident for the early screening of job candidates.
Grounded in workforce-science and machine learning, Knockri is alleviating hair on fire problems, for talent acquisition in fortune 500 companies like, IBM.
I've contributed to various media outlets such as the CBC, and spoken at multiple Machine Learning, AI Ethics and HR Transformation conferences. I also love Nutella, so feel free to use that as an icebreaker!
Previously, I co-founded a successful Menswear fashion brand, which is ranked top 10 in Toronto and #1 based on customer reviews.
