# Boon AI > Boon is the relationship intelligence layer for hiring. Its Cortex engine analyzes 1B+ profiles and your network's Referral Graph — the relationships already in and around your company — to surface the warmest, highest-converting paths to every hire across sourcing, outreach, and engagement. ## What Boon AI is Boon AI is an agentic referral hiring platform. AI agents do the sourcing, matching, and outreach of finding hires through trusted relationships — automatically. Instead of stopping at submitted referrals (traditional referral programs) or surfacing cold profiles (sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter), Boon maps the warm path: who in your network can actually introduce you to the right candidate, and which referrals are most likely to convert. ## Key concepts - **Referral Graph**: the map of relationships in and around your company — who knows whom, how well, and in what context. Built from your CRM, ATS, HRIS, and Boon's 5M+ community members. - **Cortex**: Boon's relationship-intelligence engine. Analyzes 1B+ profiles alongside your Referral Graph, learns from every referral-to-application and referral-to-hire outcome, and recommends the next-best person to reach and the best way to reach them. - **Agentic referral hiring**: using AI agents to source, match, and run outreach across trusted relationships at a scale warm introductions never reached before. ## Who uses Boon Enterprise and mid-market companies across healthcare, technology, financial services, and staffing. Notable customers include Turing, SpaceX, RingCentral, Snap, Nordstrom, Zip, Citrix, Replit, Immutable, and Infinity Rehab. Boon is particularly strong in healthcare hiring — helping hospital systems and healthcare staffing agencies fill clinical and non-clinical roles faster through trusted employee referrals, reducing dependence on expensive agency spend. ## How Boon compares - **vs. traditional referral programs** (Workday, Greenhouse built-ins, spreadsheets): Boon goes beyond bonus-and-submit. It actively surfaces who to ask, automates follow-up, and measures referral quality — not just volume. - **vs. LinkedIn Recruiter and sourcing tools**: Boon doesn't surface cold profiles. It identifies the warm path — the person inside your company who can make a trusted introduction to the right candidate. - **vs. ATS platforms**: Boon is not an ATS. It's a network intelligence and engagement layer that sits on top of your existing ATS (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Jobvite, JazzHR, Comeet, and others). ## Proof points - 1B+ profiles analyzed - 5M+ community members - 80% average referral-to-application rate - 60% average referral-to-hire rate (Profile and community figures reflect Boon's data coverage across its network; rates are averages measured across hiring activity on the Boon platform.) ## How it works with your stack Boon connects to major ATS, CRM, and HRIS systems and runs inside tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and AI assistants via open APIs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). No rip-and-replace. Supported ATS integrations include Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Jobvite, JazzHR, Comeet, and others. Boon also integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Workday, and major HRIS platforms. ## Security & data ownership Built on open standards (MCP) and SOC 2 Type II audited, with data encrypted in transit and at rest. Members own their own relationship graph — not the employer — a deliberate architectural choice that protects privacy and reduces liability. ## Company - **Name**: Boon - **Website**: https://goboon.co - **Phone**: +1 (424) 291-2769 - **Location**: Culver City, California, USA - **Founded**: B2B SaaS, employee referral and relationship intelligence platform ## Key pages - [Boon AI](https://goboon.co/ai): Agentic referral hiring — the Cortex engine and Referral Graph overview. - [Request a demo](https://www.goboon.co/request-a-demo): Book a Boon demo for employers, agencies, and partners. - [Integrations](https://www.goboon.co/integrations): Connect Boon to your ATS, CRM, HRIS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and AI assistants via MCP. - [Healthcare](https://www.goboon.co/healthcare): Boon for healthcare hiring — reduce agency spend and fill clinical roles faster. - [Security](https://www.goboon.co/security): SOC 2 Type II, encryption in transit and at rest, member-owned relationship data. - [About Boon](https://www.goboon.co/about): Company overview and mission. - [Blog](https://www.goboon.co/blog): Articles on referral hiring and relationship intelligence.
