Insurance talent is scarce. Your recruiting tools shouldn't make it scarcer.

That's the core use case. When the senior reinsurance underwriter pool in London is 60 people deep, you can't afford to lose track of anyone. Yena surfaces past candidates with semantic search, enriches profiles with current data, and integrates with LinkedIn for active sourcing. More importantly, it tracks your entire relationship history with each person — so when someone becomes available after a long notice period, you know exactly where you stand with them.

SOC 2 Type I certified, with EU-hosted infrastructure and full GDPR compliance. Automated consent management, configurable retention policies, right-to-erasure workflows, and audit trails showing who accessed which candidate records and when. For insurance clients running Senior Managers Regime searches, we can provide full data security documentation on request. UK data residency options are available — contact us for specifics.

Long notice periods mean long pipelines. Yena's timeline view shows every candidate's notice status, last contact date, and next action — so no one slips through the gap during a 5-month wait. Automated follow-up reminders keep warm candidates engaged without manual tracking. We've had clients tell us they recovered placements they'd have lost because they forgot to stay in touch during a long notice period.

We've migrated from Bullhorn, Vincere, FileFinder, Loxo, and various custom databases — usually in under 24 hours at no extra cost. Insurance databases often have years of relationship history, placement records, and market notes. We map your custom fields before import, so sector-specific data (class of business, Lloyd's experience, regulatory status) transfers cleanly. You run both systems in parallel until you're satisfied nothing was lost.

Yena works well for Lloyd's and London Market search firms that do proactive candidate development — where you're managing long-term relationships with a defined universe of senior talent. If you run a high-volume contingency operation processing hundreds of applications per week, you might find Yena's depth of relationship management more than you need. The honest answer: if your competitive advantage is knowing your market deeply, Yena was built for that. If it's processing speed on volume roles, there are better-fitted tools.
