Emi Labs

Emi Labs builds AI-powered recruiting automation for high-volume, frontline hiring. Its autonomous AI agents attract, screen, schedule, and onboard hourly workers through channels like WhatsApp, SMS, and Messenger, promising faster time-to-hire and a more human candidate experience. Founded in 2018 and backed by Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, and Merus Capital, Emi counts large employers such as Walmart, OXXO, Coca-Cola FEMSA, Burger King, and Heineken among its customers and says roughly one in ten frontline hires in Mexico runs through its platform.
