Background
HeyJobs, a Berlin based AI-powered talent platform, faced a critical challenge when its rapid growth began to outpace its fragmented IT infrastructure. Recognizing the need for a change, they had to make a choice between a lengthy, disruptive overhaul or a fast, strategic solution.
They chose to act decisively, migrating their entire organization from Okta to JumpCloud in less than one week. The process was so seamless, it was completed before most employees even knew it was happening.
Once we decided to move, we moved fast. The migration from Okta was complete before anyone even noticed.

This swift transition not only modernized their IT and consolidated their vendor stack but also delivered remarkable results with zero disruption. This includes a:
40% Faster Device Deployment
30% Quicker User Onboarding
The Tipping Point
HeyJobs thrives on speed, precision, and data. Yet, its IT operations were hindered by a fragmented stack.
With Okta handling identity, 1Password managing credentials, and no Mobile Device Management (MDM) for device compliance, visibility was limited, provisioning was slow, and operational costs were escalating.
Okta was expensive and caused severe vendor lock-in. Managing it alongside 1Password required constant manual effort—troubleshooting SCIM integrations, resolving provisioning failures, and fixing group sync issues.

The complexity was unsustainable. HeyJobs needed a unified solution that would streamline management, strengthen security, and reduce costs—all without disrupting business continuity.
The Pivot to JumpCloud
The solution came with JumpCloud—a unified platform combining MDM, Identity, and Password Management in a single, intuitive interface.
“We wanted a one-stop shop,” says Graham. “JumpCloud gave us that, and their transparency made it easy to trust the process.”
Once the decision was made, the team executed a full Identity Provider (IDP) migration in just five days. JumpCloud’s competitive pricing, responsive support, and its preexisting MDM capabilities made the transition seamless.
Crucially, the transition occurred during a critical business period yet resulted in little to no user impact. There were no interruptions, no downtime, and no loss of user productivity.
Results That Compound
By consolidating its MDM, Identity, and Password Management workflows, HeyJobs transformed the efficiency of its IT operations almost overnight.
40% Reduction in Device Setup Time:
Using Apple’s DEP (Device Enrollment Program), device setup time dropped by 40%, while remote provisioning enabled emergency replacements in minutes—especially valuable for secondary offices without on-site IT staff.
Unified Control from a Single Console
The team can now enforce policies, deploy patches, and provide remote support from one console—eliminating hours of manual work each week.
Faster Onboarding & Off-boarding
Unified identity management cut onboarding time by 30% and off-boarding time by 20%, thanks to automated group-based provisioning and centralized access control.
Strengthened Access Security:
SSO (Single Sign-On) and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) strengthened access security while simplifying the login process across all SAML and OIDC-based applications.
Significant License Cost Reduction with JumpCloud’s Password Manager
JumpCloud’s built-in Password Manager replaced most 1Password licenses—retaining a few for power users while significantly cutting overall licensing costs. “We’re not just saving money—we’re saving hours every week,” says Graham.
More Than a Migration
Today, HeyJobs’ IT operations are faster, leaner, and more transparent. The IT team spends less time managing tools and more time enabling business growth.
The unified platform model just works. It’s simpler to manage, more cost-efficient, and it scales with us.

With JumpCloud, HeyJobs has built an IT foundation as agile as its business model—proof that efficiency and security don’t have to compete. HeyJobs’ journey shows that when IT moves quickly and strategically, transformation doesn’t just happen—it compounds.
