Yuval Ovadia

Role

Employee at monday; built “Simona” during monday-agents-month — an AI candidate-matching agent that, per Yuval’s own announcement, saves ~600 hours/year by ensuring strong candidates from one role are surfaced for adjacent open roles rather than dropped.

Affiliations

• monday — likely Recruiting / People function (inferred from the agent’s domain; needs confirmation).

Notes

• The use case fits the Brain-shaped pattern: matching depends on cross-role, cross-time context the recruiter does not personally hold.
• Cited as one of the monday-agents-month examples worth scanning for vertical-use-case-led product directions.
