Problem
Companies lose institutional knowledge and vetted talent when employees depart, yet most lack a systematic way to stay connected with former staff. Traditional rehiring relies on manual outreach, stale spreadsheets, and recruiter memory, causing companies to miss high-quality candidates who already know the business and can ramp quickly.
Solution
Boomerang is an all-in-one alumni management platform that connects to a company's existing HRIS/HCM and ATS to automatically build and maintain a live alumni profile for every former employee. The platform ingests departure data, tracks skills, contact information, rehire eligibility, and post-departure career moves, then applies customizable guardrails—such as time since departure, seniority, location, and non-solicit rules—to surface qualified matches for open roles. Boomerang automates outreach to qualified alumni, so recruiters don't have to manually chase leads. It also includes a guided offboarding portal that starts automatically when an employee is marked as leaving, capturing exit interview data and a rehire answer while providing departing staff with self-serve access to benefits and documents.
Target Audience
Primary customers are CHROs, talent acquisition leaders, and HR operations teams at mid-to-large enterprises using major HCM and ATS systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, UKG, BambooHR, Rippling, Greenhouse, Lever, and iCIMS.
