Capabilities
Everything you can do from your agent.
The recruiter stays in control. Yena does the work that used to require three browser tabs and a LinkedIn Recruiter seat.

Describe the role the way you would to a colleague. Yena searches your entire candidate database semantically and surfaces ranked matches — no filters, no Boolean strings.
- Semantic full-text search
- Cross-language matching (DE ↔ EN)
- Ranked by fit score
Score and compare candidates instantly
Ask Yena to rank a shortlist against a job spec. It scores each candidate, explains why, and lets you drill in — all inside your agent chat.
- AI fit scoring
- Side-by-side comparison
- Exportable to client portal
Wake up candidates already in your pipeline
Your database is your most underused asset. Yena surfaces silver-medallist candidates from past roles who match today's mandate — before you go back to LinkedIn.

Why MCP-native matters
The best recruiting software is the one inside the agent you're already in.
AI assistants have become the hub of how knowledge workers operate. Recruiters are no different — they open ChatGPT or Claude to draft briefs, research companies, and prep for calls. The context switch back to a separate ATS breaks that flow.
Yena's MCP server eliminates the context switch. Your full candidate database, your pipeline, your notes — all available as actions the agent can call on your behalf, with your permission, under your control.
The recruiter stays the decision-maker. Yena does the legwork — surfacing the right candidates, scoring them, and writing the outcome back to the record. The AI never replaces your judgment; it removes the work that was never worth your time to begin with.
Data sovereignty
Candidate data stays in Europe.
The MCP server is a controlled gateway — it never sends candidate data to the AI model itself. Your agent receives only the structured results Yena returns (names, fit scores, summaries), not raw CVs or personal records. All processing stays within Yena's EU-hosted infrastructure, covered by the same DPA and GDPR safeguards as the rest of the platform.
Frequently asked questions
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude connect to external tools — so the AI can read data from and take actions in those tools on your behalf. For recruiters, it means you can talk to Yena from inside any AI agent you already use, rather than juggling browser tabs.
Any client that supports MCP works, including ChatGPT (via the Connectors feature), Claude (via MCP settings), Cursor, and any custom agent built on the MCP standard. The list grows as more AI platforms adopt MCP — if your agent supports it, Yena supports it.
No. Candidate data never leaves Yena's EU infrastructure. The MCP server acts as a controlled gateway — it exposes only the actions you authorise, using your existing Yena credentials. All data processing remains subject to the same DPA and GDPR safeguards as the Yena web app.
No. Connecting Yena in ChatGPT or Claude takes under two minutes through each platform's Connectors or MCP settings UI — no code, no server configuration. If you use Cursor or a custom agent, a one-line config entry pointing at the Yena MCP endpoint is all that's needed.
Yes, they work side by side. MCP is an additional access method — not a replacement. Some recruiters prefer the web app for sourcing sessions; others prefer talking to their AI agent during candidate review or client calls. Both reflect the same live data in Yena.

inside every AI agent.
