Y-Recruiter

Y-Recruiter is a modern IT recruitment specialist based in Chicago, taking a unique approach to technical hiring. Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, they position themselves as an HR lead with researcher and assistant support throughout the entire recruitment cycle. They guarantee to present 3 or more suitable candidates within 2 weeks for challenging senior-level positions.

Y-Recruiter specializes exclusively in IT recruitment, focusing on senior-level positions for backend, frontend, and embedded developers across various programming languages including Python, .NET, Node.js, and C/C++. Their comprehensive service goes beyond simple candidate sourcing - they prepare job descriptions, conduct active searches rather than relying on job postings, and can connect clients with technical experts to organize proper technical interviews when internal expertise is lacking.

Founded by Yana Berlizeva, the company operates as a lean team of three professionals without traditional office overhead, allowing them to offer competitive pricing while maintaining high service quality. Their approach emphasizes working until offers are accepted, never abandoning challenging positions or unreachable requirements halfway through the process.

The company has successfully closed positions across diverse industries including consumer electronics, cryptocurrency, fintech, software/firmware development, IoT, and housing rentals. They maintain a global reach, having placed candidates in the USA, Europe (Austria, Germany, Slovakia), Cyprus, Japan, and the UK, with an average time to hire of 43 days and fastest placement achieved in just 10 days.

Y-Recruiter offers a unique pricing model of 1.5x the candidate's monthly salary, payable only after successful completion of the probationary period. They provide unlimited candidate sourcing with a guarantee of position closure, complementing existing internal HR teams or serving as a complete HR department for companies without one. The company also offers additional services including career coaching, CV reviews, interview preparation, and comprehensive job search support for individual candidates.
