About the Client

Emeritus is a global leader in online education, partnering with top universities to make world-class learning accessible to professionals everywhere. Their programs span leadership, innovation, and technology—empowering learners across 80+ countries. The Emeritus Careers website serves as the hub for recruitment, connecting talented individuals with opportunities that help shape the future of education worldwide.

CHALLENGES

Emeritus aimed to revamp its careers website to better align with its brand values of innovation, inclusivity, and global reach. The goal was to create a modern, dynamic, and responsive platform that not only reflects the organization’s global presence but also offers an engaging user experience for prospective candidates.

Key challenges included:

Translating Figma design prototypes into a fully functional and responsive WordPress website.

Implementing custom interactive elements such as sliders, maps, and accordions based on the design specifications.

Ensuring smooth integration with Darwinbox HRMS, the company’s system for managing job postings and openings.

Developing dynamic filtering and layout rules for displaying featured and resource posts in distinct formats.

Maintaining optimal performance and accessibility standards while ensuring design fidelity across devices.

SOLUTIONS

Our approach focused on precision development and seamless interactivity, ensuring that every visual and functional detail matched the Figma design.

Built the entire website based on the Figma mockups, ensuring responsiveness and pixel-perfect design implementation.
Developed a custom autoplay feature for sliders, activated when the element becomes visible in the viewport, improving performance and engagement.
Created a unique interactive world map using a custom JavaScript logic that randomly populates hotspot locations of students taking programs from different countries—representing Emeritus’s truly global impact.

Designed a custom Elementor-based accordion structure to match Figma specifications and maintain uniform styling across devices.
Integrated Darwinbox HRMS API to dynamically pull and display current job openings on the careers page, with minimal structural modifications for clean alignment with WordPress.
Implemented conditional logic for resource filtering, enabling featured posts to appear in a distinct layout from standard listings on the resources page.

A DYNAMIC GLOBAL EXPERIENCE

To make the careers website more than just a job listing portal, we introduced several interactive and data-driven elements that reflect Emeritus’s global learning ecosystem.

Key highlights include:

A real-time animated world map that visualizes learners’ locations from around the world, using randomized data points to bring the global community to life.
Smart sliders that start autoplay only when visible, optimizing both user engagement and performance.
Fully customized accordions and content layouts, designed to match the company’s branding and maintain a consistent storytelling flow.
Deep HRMS integration, allowing seamless synchronization between internal systems and the public-facing careers portal—keeping job data accurate and always up to date.

This combination of design precision and technical innovation made the Emeritus Careers site a more immersive, functional, and brand-aligned platform.

RESULTS

The new Emeritus Careers website effectively mirrors the company’s global ethos and modern brand identity. With refined responsiveness, interactive visuals, and smart automation, the platform provides users a smooth, engaging experience—whether they’re exploring opportunities, learning about the company, or browsing updates.

Through a thoughtful balance of design accuracy, custom development, and third-party integrations, Emeritus now has a future-ready careers website that not only attracts top talent but also communicates the company’s vision of empowering learners worldwide.
