Case Study: BrightBridge Search unlocks private equity intellectual capital to place senior executives faster with Invenias

Helping Private Equity firms do more with their Intellectual Capital

BrightBridge Search, a retained executive search firm specializing in Private Equity searches, needed a way to unlock and act on the vast volumes of “intellectual capital” held by its clients—contacts and data on board‑level executives and senior managers that were hard to retrieve or connect across industries. Partner Frank Suhadolnik adopted the cloud-based Invenias platform (Invenias by Bullhorn) to manage candidates, clients and business development and to expose hidden relationships across systems.

Using Invenias, Frank tags and integrates data from social networks, builds living maps of portfolio companies and runs targeted filters to surface the right people from thousands of records; one search moved from first client call to appointed chairman in just six weeks. Invenias has delivered faster, higher‑precision searches, new business‑development opportunities and improved portfolio management for BrightBridge Search and its Private Equity clients by turning previously untapped data into measurable recruitment outcomes.
