Cangrade Expands Women- and Minority-Owned Business Discount to Include New AI Copilot, Jules

Cangrade AI has announced an expansion of its women- and minority-owned business discount program to include Jules, the company’s AI Copilot designed to assist human resources professionals in making data-driven talent decisions.

This initiative aims to empower underrepresented businesses with advanced tools for hiring, employee development, and performance optimization.

How Jules Works

Jules utilizes data from Cangrade’s talent assessments to generate actionable insights on hiring, employee growth, and performance improvement. By analyzing workforce data, Jules helps businesses address key challenges such as identifying top candidates, crafting competitive offer letters, and enhancing employee motivation.

These capabilities support HR teams in building stronger, more diverse teams and improving long-term employee retention.

The decision to incorporate Jules into Cangrade’s existing 35% discount aligns with the company’s commitment to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. The discount percentage reflects several significant statistics: 35% of Black business owners are women, 35% of women hold technology positions, and female entrepreneurs typically seek $35,000 less in funding compared to their male counterparts.

Additionally, Black entrepreneurs receive $35,000 less in startup capital on average than white entrepreneurs.

Cangrade’s CEO Thoughts

Gershon Goren, Founder and CEO of Cangrade AI, highlighted the importance of providing practical tools to support DEI efforts beyond surface-level initiatives. “Over the last several years, companies have followed the latest trends in DEI, creating initiatives with good intentions but that were often overly performative and ineffective,” Goren said.

Continuing, “We’re putting our money where our mouth is, providing valuable resources that measurably increase the accuracy of performance predictions and remove biases from the hiring process. The result is a stronger and more inclusive workforce.”

With growing uncertainty around the future of DEI initiatives, Cangrade emphasizes the need for data-backed talent intelligence solutions. Jules functions as an AI-powered I/O psychologist, guiding HR teams through critical tasks like performance evaluations and conflict resolution.

The platform’s predictive analytics ensure that hiring and talent management decisions are based on objective data rather than subjective biases.

Eligible women- and minority-owned businesses can now access Jules as part of Cangrade’s discounted hiring software suite. This offering seeks to level the playing field for underrepresented businesses by equipping them with tools traditionally accessible only to larger organizations.
