Success Story

Powering International Hiring for Publicis Sapient

Publicis Sapient is a Boston-headquartered technology consulting company with 20,000 people and over 50 offices worldwide.

Hiring the right talent is crucial for a company of this scale, especially when recruiting across multiple countries. A seamless, localized job application experience can mean the difference between attracting top talent and losing candidates due to frustration.

To make international job searches intuitive and effortless, Publicis Sapient needed a geolocation-based job board experience that could automatically tailor job listings and content to users based on their location. They found their solution in Fastah’s IP Geolocation API on AWS Marketplace.

The Challenge: Hiring Smarter, Globally

Publicis Sapient’s careers website is a crucial gateway for attracting talent, but it was not optimized for international job seekers. Candidates from different regions had to manually search for relevant job postings, sifting through roles that may not even be available in their country.

‍

The Problem‍

• Without an IP-based localization system, job seekers faced irrelevant job listings from the wrong country. The company needed a fast, automated solution to dynamically tailor job searches based on a user’s location.

• Vendor approvals were a bottleneck—strict compliance and security requirements made onboarding new tools difficult.

• Publicis Sapient needed a proven, enterprise-ready solution that could be deployed instantly within AWS without weeks of legal and security reviews.

The Solution: A Smarter, Localized Job Search

Fastah’s IP Geolocation API on AWS Marketplace provided the seamless, scalable solution that Publicis Sapient was looking for.

• Instant Geographic Personalization. Fastah enabled the careers website to detect a visitor’s location instantly, dynamically displaying job openings relevant to their country or city.

• Faster Vendor Approval Process. Because Fastah is available on AWS Marketplace with standardized AWS contracts, Publicis Sapient was able to bypass lengthy legal and procurement processes, getting approval quickly and painlessly.

• Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance. Fastah met Publicis Sapient’s strict compliance standards through its AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) attestation, ensuring security, scalability, and reliability.

Fastah Inc. became our top option very quickly because it was available under the AWS umbrella. We didn’t have to go through lengthy vendor approvals or legal reviews. It was like a cakewalk to onboard. At the time, we needed geolocation capabilities for our careers site, and Fastah allowed us to quickly provide location-based personalization without any hassles.

The API has been reliable. It has taken care of 99% of our needs, whether it’s localization of job listings or video content. We haven’t faced technical issues, and when we had minor billing queries, Fastah’s support was responsive and helpful.

We evaluated other vendors but faced problems with compliance and legal processes. Fastah stood out because it met our needs without delays. It’s been a good experience overall, and we’re satisfied with the service.
