About

Israeli AI recruitment startup Joonko is on the verge of closure following a board investigation that uncovered fraudulent conduct by its CEO, leading to extensive layoffs. The company, which had raised $38 million and employed around 50 people at its peak, is dismissing most of its workforce after it was revealed that reported customer numbers were significantly inflated. The board stated in June 2023 that CEO Ilit Raz engaged in unethical and fraudulent activities, harming the company and its shareholders. This scandal has forced the startup, focused on sourcing underrepresented candidates, into a shock closure, with senior executives already departed and remaining employees facing dismissal.
