Case Study: Hogast transforms its career portal into a modern matching platform with FORMAT D

Hogast launches a modern matching portal for 6,000 businesses with FORMAT D

The customer, Hogast, a leading purchasing cooperative for the hotel and catering industry in Austria, wanted to modernize its HOGASTJOB career portal. Their challenge was to make the platform more user-centric and integrate new functions while optimizing data synchronization, all without interrupting their ongoing operations. Vendor FORMAT D was engaged to address this.

FORMAT D revised the entire candidate journey, turning the portal into a modern matching platform. They integrated new functionalities like transparent profiles and an internal chat to optimize the recruiting process. Using the PHP CMS Neos, they enabled Hogast to maintain content independently. The solution made the employee search more efficient and user-friendly, resulting in an innovative platform that was recognized with a CSS Design Award for innovation.
