Fonzi acquires Cook'd to create end-to-end AI technical hiring platform

Fonzi AI, a talent marketplace for hiring engineers, has acquired Cook'd, an AI-native applicant tracking system designed for engineering recruitment. This marks Fonzi's second acquisition following its purchase of recruiting firm BKB Talent in June 2025. Cook'd evaluates candidates based on actual technical work by analyzing data from LinkedIn, GitHub and other sources to assess real ability, startup experience and shipped products. The platform can set up engineering roles in under two minutes and automatically screens candidates based on technical experience rather than resume keywords. The acquisition combines Cook'd's screening technology with Fonzi's marketplace and matching infrastructure, creating an end-to-end platform. Companies can now access technical screening, matching recommendations and human recruiting support through a single system. Fonzi launched in June 2025.
