Turn LinkedIn profiles into sourced candidate records.
Yena captures LinkedIn context, enriches candidate and company data, deduplicates records, and keeps every profile ready for matching, outreach, and client delivery.
"You're 45 minutes into LinkedIn Recruiter. You've found the perfect CFO candidate—15 years at Siemens, MBA from INSEAD, speaks three languages. Now comes the part every recruiter hates: copying their work history into your ATS. Job by job. Date by date. Skill by skill."
Five candidates later, your wrist hurts and you've spent two hours on data entry instead of relationship building.
There's a better way.
What is LinkedIn Profile Enrichment?.
LinkedIn profile enrichment is the automated extraction and enhancement of candidate data from LinkedIn profiles directly into your ATS. Instead of manual copy-paste, you add a LinkedIn URL and the system pulls everything: work history, education, skills, certifications, languages—structured and ready to use.
According to Unipile's 2024 analysis, recruiters spend an average of 8-12 minutes manually entering data per candidate profile. For executive search firms managing 50-100 active candidates, that's 7-10 hours weekly of pure administrative work.
Yena eliminates it entirely.

Automatic Data Extraction
Yena's AI pulls and structures work experience, education, skills, certifications, languages, location, and career summary in 5 seconds.
Intelligent Enhancement
Unlike basic resume parsers, Yena's AI enriches data with seniority assessment, career trajectory analysis, market intelligence, and relationship context.

Why Executive Search Firms Choose Yena.
Built for Relationship Recruiting
Resume parsers are designed for volume hiring: processing hundreds of applications per role. That's not how executive search works. You're cultivating relationships with 8-12 exceptional candidates over months or years.
Our enrichment doesn't just parse job titles. It analyzes career trajectories, identifies readiness signals, and preserves relationship context.
European Market Specialization
Every LinkedIn enrichment tool claims GDPR compliance. Few actually deliver.
- EU data residency (Frankfurt AWS region)
- Built-in consent management tools
- Automatic data retention policies
Multilingual Intelligence
LinkedIn profiles in German. Resumes in Polish. Job descriptions in English. Yena handles all of it. Our AI understands 'Geschäftsführer' means CEO, 'Betriebsrat' indicates Works Council experience, and 'Mittelstand' signals mid-market company expertise.
Real Intelligence, Not Just Data Transfer
Traditional parsers handle job applications. In executive search, you don't have resumes. You have LinkedIn profiles, phone conversations, conference interactions, and referral intel.
Resume parsers give you data. Yena gives you intelligence.
