WHAT IS BOX?

With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

Metadata is a key component of the Box Content Cloud, enabling customers to add rich context to their files and transforming them into actionable, intelligent content. In its current iteration, it's used across the enterprise to organize, discover, annotate, secure, and retain content at massive scale. Metadata Platform adoption continues to grow exponentially as more core Box products, such as Shield, Automate, Extract, Sign, and Governance, rely on it internally, and as our customers build mission-critical custom applications leveraging its capabilities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
