Case Study: England-based school recruitment company boosts revenue and accelerates hiring with RavenDB

RavenDB Web Analytics Use Case Big Data Creates Big Revenue

England Based Company, a recruitment platform serving over 7,500 schools and colleges with 65,000 job ads and 1.7 million registered candidates, faced a Big Data challenge: more than 1 million site visits per month generate rich per-visit metadata that needed real-time analytics to shorten job searches, improve match quality, and unlock new revenue streams. To meet strict requirements for ACID consistency, multi-server availability, scalability, ETL with legacy systems, and instant reporting, they turned to RavenDB’s distributed NoSQL/document database solution.

RavenDB implemented a multi-node, ACID‑compliant clustered document store with real-time replication, ETL to fit legacy relational schemas, and straightforward reporting-tool integration, allowing nodes to be added in minutes and preserving fault tolerance during outages. As a result, RavenDB enabled instant, high-performance web analytics (“Google Analytics on steroids”) across 1M+ monthly visits, prevented data inconsistencies (e.g., duplicate or over-limit applications), and converted deep behavioral data into targeted paid opportunities and Silver/Gold memberships—turning Big Data into measurable new revenue while maintaining constant availability.
