About The Customer
Zoosk, the social network that helps members create and share their romantic journeys, was founded in 2007 and has since grown to include millions of singles from around the globe. Zoosk provides a fun and social online dating experience that users can easily access from Zoosk’s website, social networking applications, mobile devices, and downloadable desktop application. The network is available in 25 languages and has members in more than 70 countries. When the time came for a new applicant tracking system (ATS), Zoosk found its perfect match in Jobvite Hire.
The Challenge
As Zoosk was a bootstrap start-up, it originally used a free online ATS to manage its hiring process. The company was in a slower growth phase, hiring one person at a time, so a bare-bones ATS met its initial needs. However, as the company began to grow, so did its recruiting needs. The existing ATS lacked email and calendar integration, making the process cumbersome. Zoosk's chief executive officer Shayan Zadeh heard about Jobvite Hire and wanted to try it out as a way to keep better track of candidates. The challenge was to transfer candidate data to the new system without losing any information and to train the team quickly on the new platform.
The Solution
Zoosk decided to implement Jobvite Hire as their new ATS. The transition process was smooth, taking only a couple of weeks to transfer candidate data. The training process was quick, and the customer support from Jobvite was exceptional. Jobvite Hire offered advanced features such as social media integration, which increased employee referrals and the number of candidates. The integration with Gmail made scheduling interviews and follow-ups seamless. The reporting capabilities of Jobvite Hire allowed Zoosk to identify bottlenecks in the hiring process and make data-driven decisions to improve efficiency.

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.
