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.
