Case Study: Insight Partners achieves more diverse early-career recruiting with Yello

How a Top Investment Firm Turned Their Commitment to DE&I Into Real Recruiting Results

Insight Partners, a top private equity and venture capital firm, wanted to strengthen its early-career recruiting and DE&I efforts but was limited by a traditional focus on a small set of top-tier schools and a narrow view of what a qualified candidate looked like. Working with Yello, they sought a scalable way to expand their talent pipeline and increase visibility of software investing careers to a broader, more diverse group of students.

Yello helped Insight Partners expand its recruiting footprint, reach millions of candidates through its talent network, and use D&I sourcing and analytics tools to improve pipeline diversity and accountability. As a result, Insight saw a 20% increase in brand impressions, grew its early-career talent network by 133%, and sourced 25% of hires for 16 internship roles directly from Yello, while building a talent network that was 48% female and 64% underrepresented minorities.
