The Challenge

Managing thousands of jobs across 70+ global markets, Apex Systems faced critical performance and functionality issues with their 3rd-party job search platform. Slow page refresh times and the lack of an effective location-based search were impacting user experience for job seekers. Real-time job synchronization failures meant filled positions remained visible on the site, misleading candidates and creating inefficiencies for recruiters.

The Solution

iS2 Digital partnered with Apex to develop a migration strategy, beginning with an analysis of workflow requirements and challenges. This identified opportunities for improvement, including proactive integration of compliance capabilities that would position Apex ahead of emerging regulatory requirements. Working closely with CyberCoders, a sister company within the ASGN network, iS2 leveraged their existing SOLR-based search architecture and delivered a solution that out-performed the existing platform.

The approach supported the development of a custom application addressing both immediate pain points and long-term scalability. Integration of GeoIP detection technology provided compliant user experiences for GDPR-region visitors, automatically routing international users to appropriate interfaces while maintaining full functionality for domestic users. The framework also gave Apex the flexibility to rapidly supported pay-transparency compliance a new laws were adopted across multiple jurisdictions.

The implementation included real-time job synchronization eliminating stale listings and ensuring accurate job availability information. Apex also substantially improved its user experience through more intuitive user interface, responsive design, and advanced search functionality including radius-based and remote job filtering.

North Peak

For staffing firms managing hundreds of job listings, the standard search experience has become a measurable liability. Conventional keyword search, even enhanced with location filters and faceted navigation, requires candidates to know exactly what to search for and returns results that rarely match actual needs. The search experience, long treated as a commodity feature, had become a bottleneck in both candidate acquisition and placement quality.

Alliant Communities needed a digital presence matching their market leadership, as their existing CMS couldn't showcase their expanded capabilities in affordable housing.
