How We Helped Oregon Build a Career Platform That Works

The Oregon Department of Human Services came to us with a challenge. Their job board for developmental disabilities services—Impact Oregon—was built in 2019 and needed major upgrades for better features, compliance, and security.

Instead of building a custom solution from scratch, ODHS decided to move their platform to Cloverleaf. This approach saved them time, money, and avoided the complications that come with ground-up development projects.

Why They Chose Cloverleaf

Custom software projects come with high costs and frequent maintenance needs. Most require expensive updates every 2-3 years. Oregon, like many states, needed to be smart about their budget.

Cloverleaf's subscription model keeps their site current and secure without unexpected costs or emergency fixes. Updates and maintenance happen automatically as part of the service.

What Makes Cloverleaf Work for Government

Security comes standard. Government websites handle sensitive information and face constant security threats. Our platform includes Web Application Firewalls and daily threat monitoring to keep sites safe while maintaining the transparency government work requires.

Accessibility is built in. Meeting WCAG standards isn't optional for government websites—it's legally required. Cloverleaf exceeds these requirements so all citizens can access job opportunities, regardless of their abilities or technology.

Powerful search capabilities. Through integration with Elastic Search, job seekers can find relevant opportunities quickly using advanced filters and search tools that deliver accurate results.

Designed for Long-Term Success

Government technology investments need to last. Public agencies can't afford to rebuild their digital systems every few years.

The Impact Oregon platform adapts to changing workforce needs. New assessment tools, content areas, and data integrations can be added without major rebuilds or service interruptions.

Making a Real Difference

This project goes beyond creating a better job board. Oregon needs qualified professionals in developmental disabilities services—work that's essential for supporting vulnerable populations.

By connecting job seekers with these opportunities and helping organizations fill critical roles, we're supporting Oregon's ability to serve its communities effectively.

Why Public Agencies Choose Cloverleaf

The Impact Oregon project shows exactly why we created Cloverleaf: public sector organizations need technology solutions that understand their unique needs and support their mission.

Whether you're managing career development programs, building transparency portals, or creating community engagement platforms, Cloverleaf provides the security, accessibility, and flexibility that government work requires.

We continue working with Impact Oregon as their needs grow, supporting their mission to connect talented individuals with meaningful public service careers. When technology truly serves the public good, everyone benefits.
