Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 6 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Yello, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's built for campus hiring, so it's the wrong shape for mid-career roles, and there's no price on the site.

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.

The report card
Best for campus and early-talent recruiting
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Yello is for
- Fits if you recruit at universities and run career fairs and events
- Works for government employers, since there's a FedRAMP-authorized edition
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you hire experienced staff, because it's built for campus and early talent
- Not for you if you want a price: the site points to a demo request
- Watch out: the vendor says it won't double a renewal price, but the numbers aren't shown
- Tight if you want a trial, as none is listed
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Yello's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo.
We could not confirm Yello’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. yello.co has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A scheduler that rearranges your day as things move.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Yello’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
