Using technology to continuously grow and evolve

Since its founding in Düsseldorf in 1996, StepStone has grown to become one of the world’s most successful online recruitment businesses. When it came to upgrading the Identity and Access Management component of its platform, StepStone sought to overcome several limitations with its legacy solutions, including complicated configuration processes and a limited feature set.

Ensuring success today, tomorrow and in the future

For StepStone, Okta offered the right blend of best-in-brand products and a vendor-agnostic approach with a trustworthy reputation that would stand the company in good stead, whatever the future brings. StepStone worked closely with Okta Customer First to ensure that its migration process ran smoothly, and it now draws on its strategic support for the challenges it may face in the future.

Providing secure, seamless user experiences

Today, StepStone uses Okta to empower its workforce of more than 3700 employees, ensuring they have access to the right tools when they need them, and that identity authentication and authorisation processes have a minimum impact on their time. The operations team at StepStone has also been able to customise appropriate levels of access to the relevant user accounts and applications.
