Case Study: DirectEmployers Association achieves 50x faster real-time recruiting analytics with MemSQL

Improving Recruiting Performance with Cloud-Based Real-Time Analytics

DirectEmployers Association is a nonprofit HR consortium that helps employers reduce recruiting costs and meet regulatory requirements. It needed faster, up-to-the-minute analytics across multiple web sources so recruiting managers could see who, where, and when applicants engaged with job postings; the raw data changed frequently and the existing solution couldn’t deliver responsive, real-time reporting.

DirectEmployers moved to MemSQL Cloud, a fully managed column-store platform that required minimal tuning and delivered fast ad hoc and operational query performance. The change enabled new analytics, made existing reports dramatically faster (count and rank queries improved up to 50x), and gave recruiters a more predictable experience and clearer visibility into recruiting efforts.
