Challenges

When it was announced that Nine was merging with Fairfax Media Limited to become the largest Australian-owned media company,the Talent Acquisition teams at both companies knew major changes were coming, especially when it came to their recruiting technology. Given that both companies had different applicant tracking systems, processes, and integrations, the team had to find a solution that could unify 3 different recruitment modules to operate as one.
