The Challenge
In a rapidly growing company, it’s not enough to just hire quickly — you also have to hire the best of the best. Talend’s recruiting team knew that in order to do this, they would have to take their employment brand and candidate experience to the next level. Talend, a Bay Area-based software company, aims to simplify Big Data. Talend offers brands powerful integration software that enables them to gain instantly actionable insight into their organization, customers, and processes. And, given that big data is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, Talend’s headcount is increasing at an exponential rate — the company already has over 500 employees based in the US, Europe, and Asia, and they expect to add substantially more in the upcoming year. But for sustainable, company-wide growth, it’s not enough to merely increase headcount. “Companies today aren’t just in a competition for talent, but for the best talent,” says Jon Stanners, Global Talent Acquisition Leader at Talend. And to do that, brands can’t just tell candidates how great it is to work there — they have to show them.
The Solution
After building out a queue of content highlighting their excellent workplace culture, Talend partnered with Jobvite to empower the entire company to serve as employment brand ambassadors and recruiters. Stanners and his team equipped their employee celebrities with Jobvite access, which empowered them to share content like employee spotlights and company event highlights to their networks with coordinated hashtags and messaging. This allowed Talend’s recruiting team to greatly amplify its share of voice and better engage candidates. Jobvite continued providing benefits by making the pipeline easy to manage. Whether employees come from sourcing or employee referrals or inbound applications, Jobvite ensures they have a wonderful experience throughout the entire process. Jobvite’s data, reporting, and other features are valuable throughout the whole recruiting funnel. Even when the recruiting team decided that certain candidates weren’t quite a fit for Talend, they were still able to leverage Jobvite to ensure a positive experience and ultimately lift their employment brand.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
