• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Hybrid Cloud

Elsevier, a global information analytics business, was in the midst of a multi-year programme to bring new technologists into their organisation. The goal was to develop new products and offerings for their customers, utilising cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data & Analytics and Cloud Computing. The company builds digital solutions designed to empower knowledge, and it was critical for them to find best-in-class talent that would enable them to build these solutions. However, the traditional recruitment process was proving to be inefficient and costly. Elsevier needed a solution that would not only reduce the time to hire but also provide them with a consistent pipeline of quality candidates.

Elsevier is a global information analytics business that helps institutions and professionals progress science, advance healthcare and improve performance. The company provides web-based, digital solutions — among them ScienceDirect, Scopus, Research Intelligence and ClinicalKey — and publishes over 2,500 digitized journals, including The Lancet and Cell, and more than 35,000 book titles. Elsevier's goal is to lead the way in advancing science, technology and health.
