The Challenge
AIR Worldwide, a leader in catastrophe modeling software, faced significant challenges in recruiting highly specialized talent. Despite having a strong reputation within their niche industry, their location in Boston, where the unemployment rate for IT professionals is extremely low, made it difficult to attract the right candidates. The company needed a more effective way to market themselves, communicate with potential candidates, and integrate their international offices into the hiring process. They also required a user-friendly system with better metrics to streamline their recruitment efforts.
About The Customer
AIR Worldwide, a member of the Verisk Insurance Solutions group at Verisk Analytics, is a leading provider of catastrophe modeling software and consulting services. Founded in 1987, the company has been at the forefront of the catastrophe modeling industry, offering solutions that help users project possible outcomes and prepare for catastrophic risks. AIR Worldwide's software is used to model risks for events ranging from natural disasters to terrorism in over 90 countries. With more than 500 employees globally, the company continues to hire broadly, seeking top-notch talent to support their critical work. Headquartered in Boston, AIR Worldwide operates additional offices in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The Solution
To address their recruitment challenges, AIR Worldwide partnered with Jobvite, utilizing its platform which includes Jobvite Hire, Engage, and Refer. The company revamped their career site and began using Jobvite Engage to set up recruitment marketing campaigns and co-branded career pages. This allowed them to capture candidates' interest and maintain contact with them, expanding their talent pool for future roles. Jobvite Engage also enabled AIR Worldwide to build relationships with soon-to-be and recent graduates, moving away from a just-in-time hiring model to a more proactive approach. Additionally, AIR Worldwide leveraged Jobvite Refer to enhance their employee referral program, making it easier for employees to notify their friends about open positions through social media. Jobvite Hire was used as a front-end add-on to their corporate applicant tracking system (ATS), improving the look, feel, and ease-of-use of their careers page and application process.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
