Yello, a leading provider of early talent acquisition software, has announced the acquisition of Symba, a platform focused on new hire readiness. The acquisition aims to help employers reduce manual effort in managing internship and new graduate programs while boosting candidate engagement and conversion rates.
The two companies began a strategic partnership earlier this year, which saw rapid adoption and strong interest from Yello customers. Building on this success, the acquisition fully integrates Symba into Yello’s product ecosystem, further strengthening its purpose-built solutions for campus and early-career recruiting.
“Many of our customers have already adopted Symba since our partnership launched earlier this year,” said Michael Megerian, Chief Revenue Officer at Yello. “These customers are already seeing a positive ROI, and fully integrating Symba’s solutions into Yello will add even more value.”
The Symba team will join Yello, with Co-founders Ahva Sadeghi and Nikita Gupta taking on key roles within the organization.
“Partnering with Symba has helped Yello customers close critical engagement gaps and build more consistent, connected experiences for early-career talent,” said Dan Bartfield, Co-Founder and CEO of Yello. “With this acquisition, we’re giving early-career teams clearer visibility across their programs and improving conversions and reneges. We are thrilled to have the Symba team join Yello and believe that together we will help recruiters provide a seamless and consistent experience to every candidate across the entire journey.”
“At Symba, we built a platform designed to automate the most complex aspects of talent onboarding while keeping the experience front and center,” said Nikita Gupta, Co-Founder and CTO of Symba. “By integrating our technology with Yello’s end-to-end recruiting ecosystem, we will deliver deeper analytics, smarter automation, and connected workflows that empower employers to scale meaningful engagement from candidate to alumni.”
“We built Symba to empower early-career talent as they begin their first job opportunities,” added Ahva Sadeghi, Co-Founder and CEO of Symba. “By joining forces with Yello, we can accelerate that mission and expand our impact to millions of candidates and hundreds of organizations worldwide.”
