Case Study: SimplyHired achieves 40% revenue growth and real-time, data-driven insights with Looker

Simply Hired Relies On Looker For The Analytics That Drive Customer Value - And Its Own Exponential Growth

Simply Hired is a global job search engine—reaching millions of job seekers across 24 countries and 12 languages and indexing over 8 million jobs—whose pay-for-performance model depends on capturing and analyzing massive amounts of click, impression, and application data. The company needed to continuously improve search algorithms, optimize campaigns and A/B tests, and surface insights to non-technical users, but its previous MySQL-based, pre-aggregated workflow and SQL-only querying blocked broad self-service access.

By modernizing its data architecture, migrating to Amazon Redshift, and deploying Looker, Simply Hired gave business users real-time, drillable analytics while enabling analysts to focus on advanced insights. Today more than 80% of employees use Looker for operational and product decisions; the change supported a 40% revenue increase during the migration period, accelerated mobile and product response, and unlocked new data-driven products and reporting opportunities.
