Emi, its main product, is an A.I. recruitment assistant that enables companies to engage in a conversation with each candidate to screen for interested and qualified individuals, while saving recruiters a tremendous amount of time by automating tasks such as screening, skills validation, interview scheduling and document collection.

● They create value by solving real problems
● Everyone in their team matters

Humble Learners

● They always question the established way of thinking
● They seek to surround ourselves with exceptional people to learn from
● They are aware that there is so much they don't know, so they strive to listen and learn

Deliver with focus
● Small steps, big vision
● Results matter more than ideas
● They understand the context so that they can prioritize their tasks

Proactive Ownership
● They take responsibility for the work to be done in an autonomous way
● They always ask "how can we do better?"
● They measure the output of their work
