What is AI recruitment?

AI recruitment uses artificial intelligence to automate and optimize the hiring process. Empathix AI searches candidates, conducts initial conversations, scores matches, and delivers interview-ready talent to your team, saving 15+ hours per hire.

How does Empathix AI recruitment work?

Empathix works in 3 steps: 1) You decide where Emmy looks: your existing CVs, your ATS, the global candidate market, or Emmy's network of exceptional talent, 2) Emmy handles the screening grind by reading every CV and having real conversations to understand fit and motivation, 3) You get top people in market who are ready for interview and genuinely interested in your roles.

How much time does AI recruitment save?

Empathix saves 15+ hours per hire on average by automating candidate sourcing, screening, and initial engagement. Teams report 95% time savings compared to manual recruitment processes.

What's the difference between AI recruitment and traditional recruitment agencies?

AI recruitment platforms like Empathix cut costs by 50% compared to traditional agencies. While agencies charge 15-25% of annual salary, Empathix provides instant candidate access, 24/7 availability, and transparent pricing without agency fees.

Is AI recruitment better than manual hiring?

AI recruitment excels at scale and speed while remaining bias-free. Empathix can search billions of profiles in seconds, engage multiple candidates simultaneously, and surface qualified talent that human recruiters might miss. However, final hiring decisions always remain with humans.

I also love that it gives more candidates a genuine chance to have their voice heard. It has been great being involved from the early days and seeing how openly the Empathix team takes on feedback and continues to evolve the product."

What Makes Emmy Different

Works with your existing workflow

Emmy plugs into 50+ ATS platforms. Candidates appear in your system, scored and contextualized. You don't change how you work - Emmy just makes it faster.

Searches your database AND the market AND her network

Not just one source. Emmy can screen your 200 existing applicants, find passive candidates from 100M+ profiles, and surface people from her network who've already expressed interest in roles like yours.

You control Emmy's autonomy

Want Emmy to just analyze CVs? Done. Want Emmy to reach out and have screening conversations with candidates? Emmy can do that too. You decide how hands-on or hands-off you want to be.

Context, not just keywords

Emmy's internal network candidates have already had voice conversations about what they want. So when Emmy surfaces them, you know they're genuinely interested in this type of role, not just keyword matches.
