Overview

Boon is built for high-volume, high-urgency industries where traditional recruiting can't keep pace. Whether you're hiring drivers, warehouse staff, or skilled tradespeople, Boon turns your workforce and extended network into a powerful recruiting engine—cutting costs, filling roles faster, and boosting retention.

⁠

Pain Points Boon Solves

1. Slow Time-to-Hire

Logistics and construction teams often need to fill roles urgently. Delays can result in missed delivery windows, jobsite delays, and lost revenue.

Boon activates internal and external networks instantly.

Referrals start flowing within days, not weeks.

2. Overdependence on Agencies and Job Boards

Companies spend heavily on recruiters and job boards that underdeliver, especially for blue-collar roles.

Boon offers flat pricing and better ROI.

Eliminates the need for percentage-based agency fees.

3. High Turnover and Poor Fit

Workers hired through generic channels often leave quickly or underperform due to poor culture fit.

Boon improves retention with trusted referrals.

Role-specific bonuses ensure alignment with business needs.

4. Disconnected, Non-Desk Workforce

Traditional hiring tools assume desktop access, leaving out large portions of the workforce.

Boon is mobile-first and QR/text-enabled.

Easy to use in-field by dispatchers, foremen, or warehouse leads.

5. Reward and Payment Complexity

Manual referral programs often break down due to tracking and payout challenges.

Boon automates referrals, attribution, and tiered payments.

Clear audit trails and payout visibility reduce friction.

6. Limited Hiring Reach

Job boards don’t reach passive talent or skilled labor pools in rural or trade-dominant markets.

Boon extends reach through external referrals and partner networks.

Taps into community ties and vendor relationships.

Why Boon is a Fit for Operational Industries

1. Speed and Scale Where It Matters Most

In logistics, warehousing, and construction, every unfilled role can mean missed deadlines, slower delivery, or jobsite delays. Boon enables you to activate internal referrals and community networks instantly.

Launch-ready in 72 hours.

Real-time referral flow: No logins needed for instant submissions.

Connect your workforce, vendors, and subs to amplify your hiring network.

2. Cost-Saving Alternative to Agencies and Job Boards

Third-party recruiters charge 20–30% of wages per hire. Job boards underperform in rural or blue-collar markets.

Boon referral hires cost up to 40% less.

Eliminate ongoing posting fees and reduce reliance on agencies.

Flat pricing and variable rewards give you full budget control.

3. Better Fit, Less Turnover

Operational roles require reliability and team cohesion. Referral hires come with built-in trust and alignment.

Boon hires stay longer and perform better than job board applicants.

Gamified incentives and local competitions boost internal referral engagement.

Role-specific bonuses help fill hard-to-hire positions faster.

4. Designed for Non-Desk Workers

Most hiring tools assume your workforce is at a desk. Boon works on mobile, integrates with your existing systems, and doesn’t require complicated logins.

Text-to-refer features and QR-driven referral flows.

Admin dashboard for centralized oversight and metrics.

Auto-enroll new employees and contractors into the referral system.

5. Manage Risk and Stay Compliant

Especially in construction and logistics, vendor access and reward distribution can get messy fast. Boon simplifies reward logic and payout automation.

Automated payment tools with audit trails.

Tiered bonuses (e.g., after 30/60/90 days on the job).

Referral source tracking ensures proper credit and avoids double payment.
