The recruiting work Yena does for you

One brief becomes
a live recruiting workflow.

Yena starts where AI sourcing tools are strongest, then keeps going: candidate search, verified contact data, outreach, ATS stages, CRM memory, client shortlists, and reporting all stay in the same system.

01

Source

Describe the brief. Yena searches the open market and your own database, then returns ranked candidates with evidence.

02

Verify

Enrich the profile, check email and phone data, deduplicate records, and keep the legal basis documented.

03

Sequence

Draft outreach from the candidate story, run follow-ups across email and LinkedIn, and surface warm replies.

04

Manage

Move candidates through ATS stages, keep CRM history, notes, campaigns, reports, and client shortlists in one place.

Enrichment

A name goes in.
The whole person comes out.

A name and a job title is not a candidate. From one profile, Yena builds a verified dossier: live contacts, the career behind the title, duplicate history, and the signals that say this person is worth the call.

Outreach

Then it writes the message
that gets the reply.

A generic blast gets ignored. Yena drafts every message from the candidate's real story, runs the follow-ups across email and LinkedIn, and drops warm replies back into the same pipeline.

To Mateusz Sobczak · Staff Engineer, ex-Adyen
EmailLinkedIn

Hi Mateusz,

Scaling Adyen's ledger past 12k tx/s is exactly the problem the next hire owns here, the whole payments platform, not one service on it.

Worth twenty minutes? I'll send the brief.

Proof

From search box to placement system.

The AHA is simple: your recruiter reviews a few candidates, Yena learns the signal, and the shortlist gets sharper instead of starting over.

30 -> 110
profiles sourced per week

We retired three tools and stopped rebuilding the same shortlist from scratch. One brief now gives us the market, the evidence, and the next action.

I described the role and had ten switch-ready people back before lunch. The useful part was the why: I could see exactly why each person belonged.

The outreach no longer reads like a template. Every message cites something real, and every reply lands back on the candidate record.
