Description: BZ Kanzhun

Kanzhun Limited operates BOSS Zhipin, one of Chinas leading online recruitment platforms, connecting job seekers with enterprise employers primarily through a mobile app. The platform serves both sides of the labor market: job seekers receive personalized job recommendations, initiate direct chats with recruiters, and share resumes only after mutual consent, while enterprise users can post openings, receive candidate matches, and communicate directly with applicants.

The business model is a two-sided recruitment marketplace with a distinctive privacy feature requiring mutual consent before resumes are exchanged, setting it apart from platforms that allow open resume access. Kanzhun also monetizes through value-added tools sold to recruiters and offers ancillary management consultancy and technical services.

Kanzhun was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Beijing. It listed on NASDAQ in June 2021 under the ticker BZ and is classified within the Interactive Media & Services sub-industry of the Communication Services sector.
