About Jopwell
Summary
Jopwell connects Black, Latinx, and Native American professionals with employers seeking to diversify their workforces.

The product serves HR and recruiting teams that need direct access to a screened, engaged candidate community.
Go-to-market
Employers, typically HR and diversity recruiting teams at mid-to-large companies, purchase access to Jopwell's candidate network; the sales motion is B2B and direct.
