AI-native recruiting platform vs Poland's homegrown ATS?
Traffit is a modern Polish ATS with clean UI and strong local market fit. Yena brings something different—autonomous LinkedIn extraction with auto contact info, AI semantic matching, and multi-market recruiting workflows built for agencies that operate across borders.
Traffit is a well-regarded Polish ATS based in Gdansk, used by hundreds of mid-size Polish companies. Traffit wins on Polish market fit, PLN pricing, local language support, and a clean candidate experience portal. Yena wins on AI-powered sourcing, autonomous LinkedIn extraction, semantic candidate matching, and multi-market support for agencies recruiting across European borders.

Traffit works well for Polish recruiting agencies that focus on domestic placements. It offers solid job posting, candidate tracking, and a clean candidate portal. However, it's built primarily for in-house HR teams at growing companies. If you're an agency doing executive search or cross-border recruiting, you'll find Traffit's sourcing tools limited compared to Yena's AI-powered extraction and matching.
Traffit offers CV parsing and basic candidate scoring, but it doesn't include semantic AI matching. It relies on keyword-based filtering and manual screening. Yena includes AI semantic matching in all plans, which understands context — so a 'CFO at a fintech startup' matches against 'VP Finance at a scaling tech company' even when the exact words differ.
Traffit has a Chrome extension that lets you import basic profile data from LinkedIn. But it's not autonomous — you still need to manually copy contact details and enrich profiles. Yena's LinkedIn extension does everything in one click: full profile extraction, automatic email and phone discovery, and instant AI matching against your open positions.
Traffit starts around 149 PLN/month (roughly €35), which is very competitive for Polish teams. Yena costs €49-99/user/month. The price difference reflects different capabilities: Traffit gives you a solid ATS with local job board integration. Yena adds AI semantic matching, autonomous LinkedIn extraction, and multi-market support. For a Polish-only team on a tight budget, Traffit is a smart choice. For agencies that need AI sourcing or work across borders, Yena delivers more value per euro.
Yes. Export your candidate database from Traffit as CSV, then import into Yena. Core candidate data transfers cleanly: names, contact info, CVs, notes, and pipeline stages. Once in Yena, your existing candidates get automatically enriched with LinkedIn data and become searchable via AI semantic matching. We handle migration support for free on Pro and Founder plans.
