This is a 2.7 billion population that accounts for 80% of the world’s workforce. They are digitally invisible, as there’s little to no data available on who they are, their career history, or their skill set, limiting their access to professional opportunities and growth. We're here to transform this by building the infrastructure to make Frontline Workers visible.
Our first step to achieving our mission is to transform the recruiting experience into an easy, human and fair process, for both candidates and companies with high-volume job openings.
Emi, our main product, is an A.I. recruitment assistant that enables companies to engage in a conversation with each applicant to detect interested and qualified individuals while saving Recruiters a huge amount of time by automating tasks such as screening, validating skills, scheduling interviews, and collecting documents.
What You’ll Be Doing
At Emi Labs, you’ll play a key role in building and leading our data team. As the Head of Data, you will be responsible for defining the data strategy and infrastructure that will drive decision-making and fuel the development of our AI recruitment assistant, Emi. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams such as engineering, product, and operations to scale and optimize how we collect, process, and leverage data to enhance our AI capabilities and improve the recruitment process for Frontline Workers.
