Case Study: Daubenspeck and Associates achieves improved consultant productivity and streamlined search processes with Invenias

Intuitive Search Software from Invenias enables Consultants to take the Lead

Daubenspeck and Associates, a Chicago-based executive search firm with more than 30 years’ experience and membership in IMD and AESC, was hampered by a rigid, costly FileFinder system that made data entry cumbersome, drove a recruiter away and left the firm operating from Excel and personal files for nearly five months. Seeking a modern replacement, Daubenspeck and Associates chose Invenias’ intuitive search software to better support their human-centered search philosophy and everyday workflows.

Invenias delivered an intuitive, Outlook- and web-integrated search platform that mirrored the firm’s processes, required no formal training and eliminated the need for expensive custom changes. Since going live in October 2013, Daubenspeck and Associates reports stabilized processes, higher consultant adoption (“people have it open all the time”), improved productivity, communication and collaboration across the firm, and a seamless mobile/desktop experience—outcomes they credit directly to Invenias.
