SJS is the leading job site for students in New Zealand.
The core service of SJS is match-making jobs and students. SJS align the requirements of employers with jobs and the needs of students looking for work. They don’t let commercial objectives get in the way of ensuring employers and students with shared interests, can find and engage with one another effectively and efficiently.
Working with Microserve, SJS spent time specifying a system which would help them with their key objectives.
We worked through the process of gathering requirements and interpreted these into technical wireframes. Working with designers, a key objective was to ensure that the site was both engaging for students and reassuringly business-like for employers.
While the creative process was underway, we started building the nuts and bolts of the system to optimise Drupal for speedy searching and to allow the SJS call centre to efficiently manage their workflows using the system.

"Microserve rebranded our site, with a completely new logo and design. They built the site using Drupal which makes it easy to edit content and update many pages at once. Microserve also worked on the search engine optimisation and we are now number 1 for A Level Revision and have moved up to number 2 for GCSE Revision. We are now set to double our income from advertising because our advertisers are happy to be associated with the brand and we are driving more traffic to the site. Our bounce rate has been reduced by 10% and the number of pages per visit is up by 15%. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Microserve. They dealt with us professionally and they fitted in perfectly with our way of working."
