Automatic candidate data extraction from LinkedIn. Built for executive search firms who value relationships over resume parsing.
"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.
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.
From LinkedIn URL to structured candidate data in seconds
Paste any LinkedIn profile URL into Yena. Or use our Chrome extension to capture profiles while browsing.
No scraping. No violations. Official LinkedIn API integration.
Yena's AI pulls and structures work experience, education, skills, certifications, languages, location, and career summary in 5 seconds.
Unlike basic resume parsers, Yena's AI enriches data with seniority assessment, career trajectory analysis, market intelligence, and relationship context.
LinkedIn profiles change. Yena tracks them. When a candidate gets promoted or changes companies, Yena flags it automatically.
Complete LinkedIn profile data extraction
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.
Every LinkedIn enrichment tool claims GDPR compliance. Few actually deliver.
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.
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.

Yena uses LinkedIn's official Talent Solutions API—no scraping, no Terms of Service violations. Your LinkedIn account stays completely safe.
Many enrichment tools use Chrome extensions that scrape data directly. That violates LinkedIn's ToS and risks account bans. Yena's extension only captures URLs.
We pull directly from LinkedIn's official API, so accuracy matches what's on the profile. If LinkedIn has it, Yena captures it. We don't infer or estimate data—if LinkedIn shows 'MBA from INSEAD,' that's exactly what Yena extracts.
No. Yena uses LinkedIn's official Talent Solutions API, not scraping. This is the same API that powers LinkedIn Recruiter. Your account stays completely safe.
Automatically. Yena checks for profile changes weekly by default. Enterprise plans can configure real-time monitoring. When someone updates their LinkedIn, Yena flags it within 24 hours.
Yes. LinkedIn's API provides access to public profile data regardless of connection status. The same data you see on LinkedIn Recruiter is what Yena captures.
Three ways: EU data residency (Frankfurt AWS region), consent tracking with built-in tools, and right to erasure with one-click deletion and full audit trails. We're European-built, so GDPR isn't a checkbox—it's foundational.
Yena is the ATS. We don't integrate with other systems—we replace them. If you want to add LinkedIn enrichment to Bullhorn or Greenhouse, check their native features. Yena is for firms ready to consolidate their recruiting stack entirely.
Unlimited LinkedIn enrichment. No per-profile fees, no usage caps, no hidden costs. €99/month includes enrichment plus the complete ATS, AI matching, relationship management, and outreach tools.
