An HR function that builds.

HR's job just changed. We'll be your people person, keep you ahead on AI, and build the tools for you to keep.

your Slack

Every manager is asking me how to use AI with their team. I can't run 30 workshops.

Olivia, EmpathixYou don't need to. We build them a manager assistant on your policies, then I teach your team to run it.

For Chief People Officers, and everyone doing that job without the title.

We're the translation between what your people need and what gets built, and everything we make stays with you.

Recruitment

Every hire found and run with you, agency quality without the agency fee. Your own shortlisting tool when we step back.

How they start

New starters productive in week one. The admin automated, the welcome still human.

Who leads them

Every manager with an assistant built on your policies, so they lead instead of waiting on HR.

How they grow

Reviews and development plans built on real work, not forms nobody fills in.

How they feel

Questions answered in Slack in seconds. Policies people can actually find.

Where it's heading

A plan built on what your people are actually asking, and the tools to act on it.

How it works

Three steps, and you keep what we build.

1
Discovery session
Three hours. We map your people and AI setup, and you leave with a clear view of where to start.
2
We become your people person
An email on your domain, a seat in your Slack, the hiring and the people work done properly. From a day a week to a full-time seat, for as long as the push lasts. If you already have a people team, we join it.
3
We build what we saw
The tools that fix what slowed you down, shipped into your own repo. Yours to keep and change.

Olivia Dyet, founder and CEO of Empathix

Founder & CEO

Olivia Dyet. Not an engineer. Built it anyway.

Deep, strategic HR experience. Director of People Transformation at The Warehouse Group, then five years as a fractional Chief People Officer for growing companies. Restructures, pay reviews, the hard conversations. She has run them from the top seat.

Then she founded Empathix and built it herself. More than 100,000 people have been through it since. Now she joins people teams, does the work, and builds the tools alongside them.

What people leaders say

From the teams we work with.

"Empathix helps me connect with so many candidates at once and I have uncovered great people that a recruiter would charge thousands to find. 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."

Alysha

Director of People, Kwetta

"We were looking for an AI Talent tool that could address very different challenges across all of our global markets. Empathix not only offers several solutions in one platform, but also truly listens and iterates on feedback!"

Lauren Denny

Director of Talent, Global, Koala

"Empathix finds talent needles in the recruitment haystack - FAST! Using this platform is redefining how we connect people to their next opportunity, so powerful."

Stuart Little

Managing Director, Agency8 & Thrive

"I use Empathix because it's 2025 and no one has got time to manually do something that a tool can do better and faster for you? 😂"

Milena

Chief of Staff, Multitudes

"The platform enabled us to access passive talent pools without our Talent & PX Partners spending hours manually sourcing profiles. As a high-growth company, we needed a solution that could build strong candidate pipelines without agency-level fees. Empathix delivered high-quality candidate lists that proved both efficient and cost-effective."
