The rise of AI-generated resumes has overwhelmed recruiters with low-quality applications, making it harder to identify top talent. Boon counters this by activating employees, alumni, and extended networks to surface trusted candidates who often bypass traditional job boards. “AI has made it easy to apply, but hard to hire,” said Dakota Younger, CEO of Boon. “Recruiters don’t need more noise. They need a better signal. That’s what Boon delivers.”
Boon’s platform delivers impressive results, with a 90% referral-to-application rate and up to 40% referral-to-hire conversion. For example, Infinity Rehab secured 22 hires in four months through trusted referrals. In healthcare, a client boosted referrals from 16 to 52 in a single month, achieving a 40% hire rate. “Getting it up and running during the trial period took just three days. It’s intuitive, modern, and actually works the way recruiters need it to,” said Wednesday Ursua, a Boon customer.
Unlike fully automated hiring tools, Boon uses AI to support, not replace, recruiters. Features like match recommendations, automated notifications, and integrated payment tracking streamline workflows, while gamification elements like leaderboards and badges keep employees engaged. “Boon takes what works in human networks and enhances it,” said Younger. “We’re not replacing recruiters—we’re giving them better tools to succeed.” This approach ensures trust remains at the core of hiring.
Boon’s platform drives significant cost efficiencies, as seen with RingCentral, which reduced referral program spending by 48% while improving attribution accuracy. The platform has gained traction in healthcare, logistics, and education, where speed and trust are critical. One employer generated over 830 referrals and five hires using Boon’s embedded referral app, with minimal effort from their talent team.
Boon’s focus on community-powered recruiting sets it apart in the HR tech landscape. By prioritizing trusted relationships over high-volume automation, the platform delivers measurable results, empowering recruiters to build stronger teams efficiently and cost-effectively.
Boon was created to change this reality. As a deep tech company, Boon applies advanced architecture and AI driven intelligence to the foundation of data management. At the heart of the platform is Boon’s IntelliBond, the powerful engine that unifies data across environments and ensures it remains accurate, governed, and AI ready.
