Interviews Are Broken
Candidates memorize STAR frameworks. They rehearse behavioral answers. They grind LeetCode. None of it correlates with how they'll actually perform on the job. There's a massive gap between what people interview for and what they end up doing — and everyone knows it.
- 85% of candidates say interviews don't reflect real work
- 46% of new hires fail within 18 months
- $240K average cost of a bad senior hire
Yolgen closes this gap. Instead of asking candidates to describe what they'd do, we put them in the actual situation and measure what they actually do.

Workflow Metrics Review at Uniera Consultancy
Uniera Consultancy has conflicting application counts and a reported conversion drop in its student advising workflow. You must reconcile the metric definition, assess whether the post-launch decline is real or a tracking issue, and recommend whether the new checklist workflow should continue.

About Us
Building the future of hiring, one simulation at a time.
Why We Exist
We noticed something that everyone in hiring knows but nobody fixes: the person who gets the job is usually the person who's best at interviewing — not the person who's best at the job. Whiteboard puzzles, behavioral scripts, and take-home assignments are theater. They don't predict performance.
So we asked a simple question: what if instead of asking candidates what they'd do, you just... watched them do it? That's Yolgen. AI-powered simulations that drop candidates into realistic day-in-the-life scenarios and measure actual demonstrated ability.
We're not building another ATS or another coding test. We're building the infrastructure for hiring decisions based on evidence, not vibes.
