Recruiting Partner
yolex labsBismarck (ND)
About the role
About Yolex LabsYolex Labs is a hiring platform that shows how candidates actually work before they're hired. For every open role, Yolex Labs researches the company, builds a profile of what success looks like in the position, and creates a realistic "day-in-the-life" simulation of practical tasks set in the role's real context. AI agents evaluate each candidate's performance, and every score is backed by specific evidence from their work. Recruiters stay in control throughout: they review and approve every simulation before a candidate sees it and make every hiring decision. Yolex Labs integrates with leading ATS platforms like Workday and Greenhouse and already runs in production for clients in the US and internationally, including organizations in aviation and banking.

How to Apply:
Apply through LinkedIn or send us a message with a short note about the industries you recruit for and a search you're especially proud of. Referrals are welcome.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
