# Emoti

> Emoti is a recruiting agent. It finds candidates, writes personal outreach, runs first-round voice screens and takes interview notes, and it shows the evidence behind every ranking so recruiters make the call.

Emoti keeps people in charge: it never rejects or advances a candidate on its own, every outreach first line waits for a recruiter's approval, candidates are told when an AI runs their screen, every ranking and note shows the evidence it rests on, and every screen rating sits next to a summary of the answer. The methods are published below with their limitations.

## Product

- [Sourcing](https://emoti.ai/product/sourcing): Describe a role in plain words. Emoti turns it into must-haves and nice-to-haves and ranks candidates with the evidence for each, so you can check every match.
- [Outreach](https://emoti.ai/product/outreach): Emoti drafts a personal first line for each candidate from their own work, and sends nothing until a recruiter approves it, within the window and limit you set.
- [Voice screens](https://emoti.ai/product/screens): Emoti runs first-round voice screens with the same questions for everyone, scores answers on your rubric with evidence, and leaves every decision to a person.
- [Interview notes](https://emoti.ai/product/notes): Emoti takes interview notes in your template, links every point to the transcript, and answers questions about a call in the candidate's words, with timestamps.
