Young Capital fills more vacancies through profiling & personalization 

Smarter applications with data-driven personalization
Young Capital specializes in connecting students, recent graduates, and young professionals with the jobs that truly suit them. With an annual revenue of €325 million and a dedicated team of 17 online marketers, the company focuses fully on digital recruitment. Innovative tools—like applying via WhatsApp or Skype—and the unique Talent Scan, which maps a candidate’s seven strongest talents, make it all possible.

But in a tight labor market, finding the right candidates is a challenge. With an average of 2,200 vacancies open at any given time, it’s crucial that job seekers quickly see the positions that fit them best. The key question for Young Capital: how do you make sure candidates don’t get lost in the listings and instead find the right opportunities immediately?

Matching better with data-driven profiling and personalization

Young Capital’s answer is a data-driven approach that puts profiling and personalization at the center. By analyzing candidates’ online behavior and preferences, the platform tailors job listings to each individual. It identifies the types of roles someone is looking for and highlights vacancies that match their interests, location, and preferences. At the heart of this process is BlueConic, a Customer Data Platform that allows Young Capital to deliver three targeted personalization strategies—turning insights into measurable results and helping candidates find the right jobs faster.

Smarter matching with three simple solutions

To make it easier for candidates to find the right jobs in a busy market with thousands of openings, Young Capital rolled out three practical personalization strategies. Each one tackles a different challenge in the candidate journey: helping people discover the right jobs, reducing drop-offs, and keeping profiles up to date. Together, they make the experience more relevant for job seekers and more effective for recruiters.

1. Recommended jobs

Instead of showing every candidate the same static list of vacancies, BlueConic identifies patterns in behavior and preferences and recommends jobs that candidates like them found interesting. What used to be an overwhelming list becomes a concise, highly relevant selection. The result: candidates engage faster, click more, and apply with confidence. 

2. Abandoned job applications

Many candidates start a job application but don’t complete it. Using behavioral signals, the system identifies these dropouts and displays a gentle reminder on their next visit: “Would you like to finish your application?” This small nudge helps candidates return and complete their applications, increasing successful matches significantly.

3. Outdated profiles

Profiles can quickly become outdated. Someone initially looking for a part-time job may now be seeking a full-time role. YoungCapital uses smart triggers to detect when candidate behavior no longer matches their profile and invites them to update their preferences. This keeps candidates in control, ensures recruiters have current information, and results in more relevant matches for everyone.
