BOSS Zhipin

BOSS Zhipin is China's largest online recruitment platform, founded by Richard Zhao (赵鹏), who serves as its chairman and CEO . The company pioneered a "direct hire" model built on mobile-first, one-on-one chat between job seekers and employers, backed by algorithmic smart matching that shifted the industry away from resume-centric search .

Gaorong Ventures led the company's Series C round in 2016 and participated in subsequent rounds, backing BOSS Zhipin from an early stage through its dual listings . The platform went public on Nasdaq in June 2021 under ticker BZ, then completed a dual primary listing on Hong Kong's Main Board in December 2022 .

By late 2022, BOSS Zhipin had served 113.2 million verified job seekers and 9.6 million verified enterprises, with monthly active users reaching 32.4 million in Q3 2022 . The platform derives revenue primarily from online recruitment services sold to enterprise clients, with 82.6% of its enterprise users being SMEs as of early 2021 . The company has been profitable on a non-GAAP adjusted basis for six consecutive quarters as of Q3 2022, with R&D spending of RMB 889 million in the first three quarters of that year .
