Case Study: Harambee achieves scalable youth employment impact with Looker

Harambee moved to Google Cloud, helping the nonprofit to expand its mission with big data solutions and innovative machine learning algorithms

Harambee, a South African social enterprise focused on solving youth unemployment, needed a way to scale its data-driven job matching and mobile application services. After struggling to analyze large candidate datasets on-premises, Harambee chose Looker as part of its Google Cloud analytics stack to better understand job seeker data and improve its digital services.

Looker helped Harambee visualize and act on data alongside BigQuery, mobile sites, and machine learning tools, supporting more accurate job matching and better candidate experiences. With Looker and the broader Google Cloud solution, Harambee improved job seeker access through mobile self-service, helped more than 50,000 youth find employment, and expected to cut data center costs by 70%, freeing resources for mission-critical work.
