Case Study: Patheer achieves rapid career discovery by mapping skills to careers with Neo4j

Patheer - Customer Case Study

Patheer, co‑founded by CTO Matthew Harris, helps people advance their careers by mapping skills to career paths and surfacing opportunities users might not discover through job listings. The challenge was modeling complex, relationship‑rich data (skills, roles, transitions) and delivering personalized, scalable career recommendations.

Patheer implemented a Neo4j graph to represent skill-to-career relationships, using Cypher and available APIs for rapid development and iteration. The graph solution provided easy development, strong community support and high scalability—handling large numbers of nodes and relationships with reliable performance—resulting in accurate, real‑time career suggestions and faster product evolution.
