Emi builds a conversational AI recruiting tool that automates communication between large enterprises and frontline job candidates via a text-based interface. The product is designed to reduce time-to-hire and improve candidate satisfaction for high-volume hiring in retail, light industrial and distribution. Emi focuses on enterprise customers that need to hire thousands of workers and integrates into existing tech stacks as a communication layer between recruiters and candidates. The company started in Mexico, joined Y Combinator’s winter 2019 batch, and now works with customers in the United States. Clients include Walmart, Danone, 7-Eleven, Starbucks, Burger King and Cemex. In the past year Emi’s customers filled more than 20,000 jobs, enabled hires grew 20% month-over-month during 2021, and annual recurring revenue grew threefold. The company plans to use new funding for product development, customer acquisition and to double its 45-person team over the next 12 months.
