Case Study: Heidrick & Struggles achieves streamlined, personalized executive recruitment with Box

Heidrick & Struggles Using content to power executive recruitment with a personal touch

Heidrick & Struggles, a global executive search firm, faced the challenge of modernizing a relationship-driven business that relied heavily on unstructured content and face‑to‑face interactions. CIO Alwin Brunner aimed to make candidate and client information faster to find, more transparent, and accessible across teams and devices while preserving security and compliance.

The firm moved content to Box and built a client portal that centralizes resumes, interview notes, assessments and other materials, making them searchable and mobile-ready. Consultants and clients can now view consolidated candidate profiles, compare finalists, track weekly search status, and rely on governed, auditable content—delivering a faster, more nimble and measurable recruitment experience.
