## The use case: how Artico deploys Ema

Artico Search, a retained executive search firm, uses Ema to turn role briefs into scorecards and ranked shortlists by searching its own candidate database and external public sources. It has since moved outreach into Ema, reduced LinkedIn Premium seats, and plans to replace its legacy ATS with the platform.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Ema and Artico, not ours.

> Market mapping that took weeks and scorecards that took hours now happen in minutes, collapsing search completion from 120–140 days to inside 90, without lowering the bar on who makes the slate.

- **50–60%**: “Artico took on 50–60% more work in the last year with zero increase in headcount”

> The biggest ROI we're seeing is it takes a lot less hands to complete the work. And I don't think that should scare anybody, it's empowering even our junior professionals to focus a lot more on the true table stakes of executive search.
