Yello is a recruiting platform built for campus and early-talent hiring. It covers campus planning, sourcing through the WayUp candidate database, event management, post-offer engagement and recruiting operations, and an AI agent handles event setup, sourcing and interview scheduling. A FedRAMP-authorized edition serves government employers. - **Category:** Hiring & Applicant Tracking - **Made by:** Yello - **Website:** https://yello.co - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you hire experienced staff, because it's built for campus and early talent. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Yello's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Campus Recruiting Agent:** An AI agent that takes on event building, candidate sourcing and interview scheduling so recruiters spend time on candidate conversations. - **Campus planning:** Analytics on recruiting results by school, used to decide which campuses to target against hiring goals. - **Sourcing:** Access to WayUp's database of student and early-career candidates for outreach. - **Campus events:** Tools for promoting and running career fairs and other events, including evaluating candidates on the spot. - **Post-offer engagement:** Keeps incoming hires engaged from pre-boarding onward; the vendor says customers see 27% better conversion and 50% fewer reneges on average. ## Good for - Enterprises with a regular campus or early-talent hiring program - Government recruiters who need a FedRAMP-authorized system ## Worth knowing - No prices are published; the site points to a demo request. - It is built for campus recruiting and not for general mid-career hiring. - The vendor says it will not double a renewal price and will commit to annual price changes by contract. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Yello handles campus planning, events, sourcing through the WayUp database and post-offer engagement, with an AI agent for scheduling. It's built for campus hiring, so it's the wrong shape for mid-career roles, and there's no price on the site. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial. - **Features: C.** Campus planning, events, sourcing, scheduling and post-offer engagement. It does campus hiring fully, but that's a smaller job than general hiring. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows events and campus programs to set up. That puts it at C. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web product whose one listed connection is WayUp. No desktop or phone app on record, so C. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/hiring ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Yello you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 72 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. - You could make: Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A scheduler that rearranges your day as things move. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
