Case Study: Efficient Job Platform for the Lucerne Region

The foundation «Lucerne Business» has created the platform lu-jobs.ch for job advertisements and company portraits. The site, built with Pimcore, offers both advertisers and job seekers straightforward handling and links companies and employees in the Lucerne region.

A new online platform from Lucerne Business, a foundation for the promotion of economic development in the Canton of Lucerne, will provide specialists with targeted and precise information about job opportunities in the Lucerne region. It is intended to bring employees and employers from the Canton of Lucerne closer together, thus making Lucerne as a location as attractive as possible for both and keeping skilled workers in the region.

Business Challenge

On the new lu.jobs.ch site, companies should be able to make their job offers for skilled workers in Lucerne easy to find and communicate across sectors. It allows employers to advertise their vacancies easily, quickly, and free of charge. In addition, lu-jobs.ch will also be a platform for companies to introduce themselves in short portraits and present themselves as attractive employers. To ensure that the maintenance of the job advertisements is efficient, a link to jobs.ch is being sought: Companies have to upload their job advertisements in only one place, which will then be displayed on both portals.

Pimcore Solution

The solution implemented by Brunner Medien with Pimcore includes an interface to jobs.ch: All job advertisements that are registered with jobs.ch for the Canton of Lucerne automatically appear on lu-jobs.ch. Employers can use an administration mask with a password-protected login to manage their job postings. Registered employers can release advertisements with an efficient workflow.

Intelligent search filters are available for users when searching for jobs, so that job advertisements are displayed according to profession, industry, workload, occupational field, or employment type. In the background, an interface to the CMS of Lucerne Business ensures that all information can be easily managed. Lucerne Business can also efficiently process and approve registration requests from new employers. In addition to the technical implementation, Brunner Medien also advised Lucerne Business on online marketing measures to support the successful launch.
