"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

At Johnson & Johnson JNJ -0.16%, an experiment in data analytics has sent some recruiters back to campus.

During 2012 and 2013, the health and consumer product giant cut back on hiring fresh college graduates and M.B.A.s for jobs in areas like human resources, information technology and supply-chain management.
