Salasungo: Powering a bold brand evolution with Access Volcanic

For Salasungo Recruitment, standing still was never an option. As their international footprint expanded and their reputation grew, Founder and Director Paul Emmler knew their website had to level up - fast. 

The goal? A recruitment website built on a SaaS platform that could match their ambition, mirror their brand, and support their next phase of growth.

Challenge

  • Enhancing the user experience with dynamic design
  • Bringing the brand to life through animation and interactivity
  • Scaling their digital infrastructure for global reach

Approach

  • Animated mountain visuals flowing through the site
  • Interactive, colour-coded divisions linked to their logo
  • Subtle motion and transitions that add depth and personality

Results

  • Launch multilingual content for their DACH and UK markets
  • Scale new divisions with on-brand landing pages
  • Make ongoing changes without technical bottlenecks
  • Stay compliant with evolving legal and GDPR standards

This wasn’t just a design update, it was a strategic move to continue to invest in a platform that would grow with us, support our brand evolution, and deliver a standout experience for every candidate and client.

Why Salasungo refreshed their website

Since 2019, Salasungo had relied on Access Volcanic to power their digital presence. But as their services scaled and their brand matured, it was time for a website that could do and say more.

Our old site still looked great, but design has moved on. We wanted to reflect who we are today and where we’re going tomorrow.

The refresh focused on:

  • Enhancing the user experience with dynamic design
  • Bringing the Salasungo brand to life through animation and interactivity
  • Scaling their digital infrastructure for global reach

The result? A sleek, responsive, always-on recruitment platform that matches Salasungo’s drive and values.

A brand brought to life through design

At the heart of the redesign was Salasungo’s most meaningful visual: the mountain. For Paul, it symbolises the path Salasungo walks with each candidate and client—a climb towards something greater. That imagery became the anchor for the entire redesign.

We didn’t want a website that just looked good. We wanted a brand experience that moved literally. Something memorable, symbolic, and unmistakably ‘us’.

Key design upgrades:

  • Animated mountain visuals flowing through the site
  • Interactive, colour-coded divisions linked to their logo
  • Subtle motion and transitions that add depth and personality

Everything—from the layout to the micro-interactions—was designed to communicate who Salasungo is and what they stand for: bold thinking, specialist knowledge, and relentless elevation.

Built on SaaS. Designed for scale.

One of the biggest advantages? Agility. With Access Volcanic’s SaaS model, Salasungo could evolve their website on their terms.

As a growing agency, we can’t wait around for developers. Access Volcanic gives us full control—so we can launch, test, and iterate fast.

From day one, Salasungo has used the platform to:

  • Launch multilingual content for their DACH and UK markets
  • Scale new divisions with on-brand landing pages
  • Make ongoing changes without technical bottlenecks
  • Stay compliant with evolving legal and GDPR standards

Their favourite feature: animated identity by division

One feature I love? As you hover over each division, our logo colour dynamically changes. It’s seamless—but powerful. It reinforces each division’s identity and creates a real sense of movement across the site.

This smart branding feature gives every visitor a richer, more immersive user experience—and strengthens Salasungo’s position as a specialist, not a generalist recruiter.

Real results, real momentum

Since launching the new site, Salasungo has seen measurable improvements across the board.

The average time on site has gone up. Bounce rates are down. And we’ve seen a noticeable increase in direct applications, which means we’re not relying as heavily on job boards.

The feedback from clients and candidates has been overwhelmingly positive. Existing customers praised the modern aesthetic and improved structure. Prospects have proactively reached out after browsing the site—turning design into a genuine business development tool.

We even recorded one of our best revenue months just weeks after launch. I won’t say it was all the website—but it gave us a fresh sense of energy and confidence that’s hard to quantify.

What’s next: turning their website into a 24/7 recruiter

Looking ahead, Paul sees the website not just as a marketing tool, but as an active, intelligent platform that delivers value at every touchpoint.

We’ve integrated the Access Volcanic chatbot, so candidates can upload CVs and clients can post roles 24/7. It’s seamless, responsive, and a total game-changer.

The vision? A smarter, more intuitive digital HQ where candidates feel supported, clients stay connected, and the Salasungo brand leads the conversation.

This is more than a website. It’s the embodiment of our values, our ambition, and our journey with every candidate and client we support.
