The Challenge
FootBridge, a leading recruiting agency specializing in IT, Energy, Engineering, and Oil & Gas sectors, was facing significant challenges in managing its operations. The company was using an applicant tracking system that was essentially a basic database, severely limiting their growth potential. The system was akin to an electronic rolodex, unable to support FootBridge's ambition to expand. The company was seeking a solution that could scale with their growth, generate revenue quickly, and not require costly maintenance or an IT infrastructure that would impact their bottom line. They wanted to avoid investing in hosting their own system, which would divert resources from their core business. The challenge was to find a cloud-based solution that offered more than just applicant tracking—it needed to integrate back office processes as well.
About The Customer
FootBridge is a leading recruiting agency that serves as a competitive resource for hiring talent for energy companies worldwide. The company is based in North America and specializes in the IT, Energy, Engineering, and Oil & Gas sectors. From early on, FootBridge's founders knew that their approach would be twofold: to serve as a competitive resource for hiring talent for energy companies worldwide, and to do so equipped with the best technology available. The company was looking to grow its business and generate more revenue, and so it needed a solution that could scale alongside it. FootBridge required a solution that would not only help generate revenue quickly, but also not require costly maintenance or an IT infrastructure that would eat away at the bottom line.
The Solution
FootBridge found its solution in Bullhorn, a full-service platform that met all their needs. Bullhorn offered a True Cloud system that required no IT maintenance, providing the flexibility and speed FootBridge needed. It also offered Bullhorn Back Office, a front-to-back solution that was at the forefront of its industry.

Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
