How Emoti works for job seekers
Heard from a company through Emoti? What it is, the steps you might meet from a first message to an AI screen and recorded interviews, and what stays in your control. No account needed.
Emoti is software that companies and recruitment agencies use to hire. If you've heard from a company through Emoti, that company is the one hiring: it decides who to contact, what to ask and who moves forward. Emoti helps its team with the work, and people at the company make every decision.
You don't need an account
There's no Emoti account to create and nothing from Emoti to install. Everything reaches you from the company: an email, a LinkedIn message, a calendar invite or a link to an AI screen. You reply to the company directly, the same way you would with any recruiter.
The steps you might meet
Not every company uses every step, and the order can differ.
- Being found, or applying. A recruiter searched for people whose experience matches a role and found your profile. Or you applied through a careers page, LinkedIn, a referral or a job board, and the company reviews its applications in Emoti.
- A personal message. The recruiter writes to you by email or on LinkedIn. Emoti drafts a first line about your experience, and the recruiter approves it before anything is sent. If you reply, the automatic follow-ups stop.
- An AI screen. You might be invited to a short voice interview, often around 15 minutes, by email or with a link from the recruiter. You take it when it suits you. An AI interviewer asks questions the hiring team wrote, you confirm you understand that before you start, and the page says "Interview run by Emoti" at the bottom.
- Interviews with notes. Calls with the team may be recorded by Emoti's notetaker, so your interviewers can listen instead of typing. By default, you're told when a call is recorded.
- People deciding. The hiring team reviews your application, your answers and the interview notes, and a person makes each decision.
What you control
- Whether and how you reply, including saying you're not interested.
- When you take an AI screen, and which language you answer in, if the company offers more than one.
- Your camera, when the company has made it optional. Your scores never depend on it.
- Your pace in a screen: you can hear a question again and pause between questions.
- Asking for an adjustment, such as more time or a person instead of an AI interviewer, from the screen's first page or by replying to the recruiter.
- Asking not to be recorded.
- Asking what information the company holds about you, and asking it to correct or delete it.
Who to contact
For anything about your application, a screen or an interview, contact the company or recruiter who reached out. They run the process and can change it; Emoti doesn't make or change their decisions. If something in Emoti itself isn't working, see Getting help.
