joonko

Joonko was an AI-powered diversity recruiting platform that connected enterprise companies with pre-vetted, underrepresented talent—women, people of color, and veterans—sourced from candidates who had reached final interview rounds at other tech companies (so-called 'silver medalists'). The platform integrated with existing applicant tracking systems to automatically surface diverse, high-quality candidates with zero manual effort from recruiting teams. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York, the company raised $38M but collapsed in 2023 after its CEO was accused of fraud.
