Talent Retention - 2 years: joined in September 2024
I joined Yellow almost 2 years ago and can say without doubt that it's one of the best places I've ever worked at.
First I was hired as a PR Manager, then switched to Marketing and got promoted to Senior Marketing Manager. It's been a wonderful journey with an amazing, supportive team and big plans I'm proud to be part of.
And all of this is actually thanks to Jaya Talent and Zhanna, who connected me with the right company at the right time and helped me throughout the journey.
Ester Shlain, Blockchain Business Analyst at Yellow.com
Talent Retention - 1 year: joined in August 2025
I joined Yellow as a Business Analyst almost a year ago, and it's been one of the most intense and rewarding career experiences.
From product requirements and UX optimization to handling post-launch support and working directly with C-level stakeholders - every week brought something new.
What I value most is the trust the team placed in me and the opportunity to shape a real product.
Big thanks to Jaya Talent for connecting me with a project where I could truly contribute and grow as a professional.

Maharshi Mishra, Senior Developer Relations Engineer, promoted to Dev Experience & SDK Engineer at Yellow.com
Talent Retention - 1 year: joined in February 2026
I had first reached out to Zhanna for a connection on LinkedIn, and later she got in touch with me on her own. From that first message, there was something instantly positive about her approach that's calm, genuine, and focused on what actually matters.
She doesn't just match people to roles; she makes sure the companies she connects you with have a healthy work-life balance and a good culture, which, honestly, is rare in Web3.
The process never felt transactional; it felt like someone was personally invested in helping me find the right fit. That kind of care and intuition is what really sets Jaya Talent apart.
Olga Laskevych Senior Product Designer at Yellow.com
Talent Retention - 1.5+ years: joined in November 2024
Grateful to the Jaya Talent team for helping me find this role - it's now my 2nd year here and I couldn't be happier. They understood exactly what I was looking for and matched me with a role and team that's been a genuinely great fit.
Thank you for making the process so smooth!

Natalie Saginashvili, Marketing Lead at IBC Group (Mario Nawfal's project), Dubai
Jaya Talent is one of the best, if not the best agency I have worked with so far. They are not here just for business; they truly care about their candidates and do everything in their power for their success.
Zhanna discovered me even before I started any active searches and managed to find a “perfect match” job for me in less than 30 days.
She doesn’t just send you the job description. She follows you up with you every step of the way and makes sure that the process is as smooth as clockwork. Thanks to her, did not have to go through multiple, long interviews. She provided me with every detail about the company, and the hiring company knew everything needed about me too. I was hired only after 2 short meetings.
I am very thankful to Zhanna and the whole Jaya Talent team for their exceptional support and I would recommend working with them without question. They are the best!
