The Solution

After a competitive tender process, Madgex demonstrated that their expertise in complex integration with third party systems and ability to deliver everything that The Guardian were looking for, on our next generation platform.

An intuitive recruiter services interface with campaign reporting, provided the opportunity for self–service management of recruiter accounts along with the provision of up–sell opportunities including keyword sponsorship. We were able to reduce operational costs for Guardian Jobs by providing them with a cost–effective, tailored solution inclusive of strong search engine marketing and a self–service eCommerce facility.
