Boon

Boon is an agile referral hiring platform that helps organizations source talent through employee, vendor, customer, and external referral networks. Using AI-driven semantic matching and proactive referral requests, Boon surfaces hidden candidates, manages reward and gamification programs, and syncs with existing HR/ATS tech stacks (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Ashby, JazzHR, Slack, Teams, and 50+ others). Founded in 2014 and backed by 500 Global and Redpoint Ventures, Boon markets faster time-to-hire and lower cost-per-hire through community-driven recruiting. This profile was seeded from VC portfolio data and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline; Boon exposes a private integration API (api.goboon.co) but publishes no public OpenAPI or developer portal.

Boon is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Human Resources, Recruiting, Hiring, and Referrals.

Boon’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 10 more developer resources.
