Case Study: Digitalent improves candidate search and recruiting efficiency with KonaSearch

Digitalent finds 580 candidates with KonaSearch, up from 172

Digitalent, a company specializing in career site creation and digital recruiting, faced a challenge with its Salesforce candidate database. Information was spread across multiple objects, making searches time-consuming. They needed a solution that could perform multi-object searches with radius filters to find candidates within 50 km of a job vacancy. To address this, they turned to the vendor KonaSearch and its search product.

KonaSearch implemented a solution that enabled multi-object and radius searches by mapping postal codes to geographic coordinates. This allowed recruiters to quickly narrow results to the most relevant candidates. The impact was significant, with one test search finding 580 candidates compared to a previous result of 172. According to a Digitalent representative, KonaSearch's solution made the database the preferred tool over external sites like LinkedIn, strengthening both candidate searches and future relationship building.
