Kadoa & Forage Case Study: Automating Job Data Monitoring for Marketing

Company: Forage, Inc.
Industry: EdTech and Career Development
Location: San Francisco, CA

Forage offers job simulations to help students understand different careers and get hired into those jobs that interest them. Their challenge was knowing when job listings open and close to promote those roles to students and encourage them to apply.

They needed a way to efficiently monitor relevant internship job postings from various sources. Kadoa has automated and scaled this process, meaning Forage can see and act on this information more quickly than ever before.

Engineering Objectives

• Monitor job postings from diverse websites automatically and in a maintenance-free way.
• Classify the job type and region based on their job title, description, and location.
• Ensuring consistent support and system maintenance.
• Sending regular e-mail reports about newly added or removed jobs that fit the monitoring criteria.
• Maintaining up-to-date and accurate job vacancy information.
