Case Study: a-connect activates an internal talent marketplace with Ragnarson

a-connect activates an internal talent marketplace with Ragnarson for 2,000 consultants across 50 markets

The customer, a-connect, is a leading HR agency from Zurich with a network of nearly 2000 consultants. Their challenge was to improve and digitize their internal talent sourcing process, which was previously based on Salesforce, in order to find the right talent more quickly. Ragnarson was engaged to build a custom web application to address this.

Ragnarson developed a solution that kept Salesforce as the backend while building a new Rails application synchronized with it. A core feature was an advanced search engine powered by Elasticsearch, which allowed the a-connect team to efficiently find candidates with the perfect skills and experience. The solution, which was developed by a fullstack team using an agile process, became essential to the business. According to the customer's CFO, the tool evolved by converting their effective process into an online platform and was enhanced with significant additional functionality through subsequent releases.
