Tech-Specific Hiring Pain Points Boon Solves

High Competition for Top Talent

Great engineers, PMs, and designers are scarce and heavily recruited.
Delays or bottlenecks mean losing candidates to faster-moving companies.
Boon drives faster, high-quality sourcing before competitors reach them.

Overdependence on Job Boards and Recruiters

Job boards yield low-quality leads and little differentiation.
External recruiters are expensive and often lack context.
Boon activates trusted internal and external networks for better referrals.

Poor Visibility Into Program Impact

Lack of real-time data hampers decision-making.
Fragmented systems make it hard to track referrals and ROI.
Boon's dashboards and analytics deliver full transparency and performance insights.

Hard-to-Engage Distributed Teams

Remote and hybrid workers are harder to activate and motivate.
Communication fatigue reduces participation in traditional programs.

Misalignment Between Recruiting and Engineering

Engineering leaders want a say in sourcing but lack the bandwidth.
Boon decentralizes sourcing without losing quality control.
Referral attribution and tracking help teams recognize who drives hiring success.
