Boss

Boss (BOSS Zhipin / BOSS直聘) is the largest online recruitment platform in China by average monthly active users, operated by Kanzhun Limited (NASDAQ: BZ, HKEX: 2076) and founded in 2014 in Beijing. It pioneered the "Direct Recruitment" model, a mobile-native experience that connects employers (bosses) and job seekers through instant direct chat rather than static resume exchange, with candidate and job matching powered by proprietary AI algorithms and big-data insights. The consumer job-search product at zhipin.com does not publish a public developer/job-data API; an authorized enterprise developer surface (BossHi mini-program open platform) exists for partners. This profile was surfaced as a portfolio company of hongshan and added to the API Evangelist network for enrichment.

Boss is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Technology, Recruitment, Human Resources, and Jobs.
