Yello, a leading provider of early talent acquisition software, has announced the acquisition of Symba, the go-to platform for new hire readiness. This strategic move follows a successful partnership between the two companies and is designed to help employers reduce the manual workload of running internship and new graduate programs while maximizing candidate engagement and conversion rates.
Yello, an early talent acquisition platform, has acquired Symba, a new hire readiness platform.
The acquisition fully integrates Symba's technology into Yello's holistic campus recruiting suite.
The move aims to automate complex aspects of internship and new grad programs.
Yello customers who already adopted Symba via a prior partnership are reporting a positive ROI.
Symba's co-founders, Ahva Sadeghi and Nikita Gupta, will join Yello in major roles.
The goal is to provide a seamless candidate journey from recruitment through to alumni engagement.
The acquisition is a natural evolution of a strategic partnership launched earlier this year, which saw strong interest and adoption from Yello's customer base. By fully integrating Symba's solutions, Yello strengthens its end-to-end platform purpose-built for campus recruiting. Michael Megerian, Chief Revenue Officer at Yello, confirmed the early success, stating, "These customers are already seeing a positive ROI, and fully integrating Symba's solutions into Yello will add even more value."
The integration addresses critical gaps in the early talent recruitment process. Dan Bartfield, Co-Founder and CEO of Yello, explained, "Partnering with Symba has helped Yello customers close critical engagement gaps and build more consistent, connected experiences for early-career talent. With this acquisition, we're giving early-career teams clearer visibility across their programs and improving conversions and reneges." This unified approach ensures a consistent experience for candidates from the initial application through their first days on the job and beyond.
The union combines Yello's recruitment capabilities with Symba's focus on onboarding and engagement. Nikita Gupta, Co-Founder and CTO of Symba, highlighted the enhanced capabilities, stating, "By integrating our technology with Yello's end-to-end recruiting ecosystem, we will now be able to deliver even deeper analytics, smarter automation, and truly connected workflows that empower employers to scale meaningful engagement from candidate to alumni." Ahva Sadeghi, Co-Founder and CEO of Symba, emphasized the expanded mission, noting, "By joining forces with Yello, we can accelerate that mission and scale our impact to millions of candidates and hundreds of organizations around the world." Together, the companies are positioned to set a new standard for how organizations engage and retain the next generation of talent.
