WCC Case Study - The Washington Post Newspapers International

The Washington Post selected the ELISE matching software from WCC primarily because of its ability to match employers' requirements with qualified candidates while simultaneously considering the candidate's requirements for the employer.

The Washington Post is one of the most widely read and recognized newspapers in the world. Washingtonpost.com is part of a larger network that includes newsweek.com and Slate, which together account for over 15 million active readers each month. The organization is known for its award-winning journalism and accurate reporting. Therefore, it is no surprise that the company wanted to carry that commitment to accuracy and integrity into its online Jobs section. Like many newspapers around the world, the Washington Post lists hundreds of job openings every day, in printed as well as digital form. With so many newspapers offering a career section to advertisers, the Washington Post wanted to stand out with something no one else was doing at the time. Most companies provided a basic database search or a simple keyword search for online job listings, but the Washington Post wanted to go a step further - the company wanted its online job board to act like a personal recruiter and actually match candidates with the job listings that best fit their needs and skills.
