Yaggo

What Yaggo does

Yaggo (operating company LA SPEC SAS, founded 2012, headquartered in Paris) is a managed recruitment service — explicitly not a SaaS product — that addresses candidate-experience failures in high-volume enterprise hiring. The company sells three bundled services: YAGGO Screening (CV analysis and phone pre-qualification, transmitting only the most relevant profiles to in-house recruiters), YAGGO Nurturing (personalized negative responses to non-selected candidates plus intelligent talent-pool creation and monthly engagement), and YAGGO Asking/CAASK (multi-step candidate perception surveys with NPS measurement). All three are delivered by Yaggo's own human teams operating inside the client's existing ATS through native integrations with seven platforms — Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, WelcomeKit, Taleez, Lever, Hellotalent, and Digital Recruiters — with a standardized three-week onboarding covering ATS integration, job mapping, tone alignment, and HR training workshops.

The underlying technology is a human operations layer rather than a software platform; Yaggo discloses no API, SDK, or proprietary AI models, and its competitive positioning deliberately contrasts human-delivered consideration with automated recruitment tooling. Reported client outcomes include +30% recruitment-team productivity, -30% time-to-hire, turnover divided by three, 85% candidate satisfaction on the Nurturing line, and 20% of client hires originating from managed talent pools. The service is GDPR-compliant, B Corp certified, and holds ESUS (Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale) status.

Yaggo's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with annual subscription billing. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed, structured as a launch fee (ATS integration complexity, job mapping scope, talent-pool setup) plus a variable fee scaled to the annual number of CVs processed. Named enterprise clients include Saint-Gobain, ADEO, Grant Thornton France, Swile, SNCF Connect & Tech, Norauto, Rexel, Enedis, Meetic, Forvis Mazars, Kiloutou, and Anacours. Marketing is content-led through a weekly newsletter, blog, downloadable guides, and interactive ROI calculators. Operating geography is currently France-only, and the company has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity, operating as an independent bootstrapped SAS.
