Case Study: Highfield Human Solutions achieves reduced costs and higher profits with Invenias

Invenias offers a Pathway to Reduced Costs and Higher Profits

Highfield Human Solutions, led by CEO Sherilyn Shackell, was struggling with a decades-old, over‑engineered legacy search system (FileFinder) that had accumulated large amounts of stale data and required workarounds that slowed researchers and consultants. Shackell’s PA had already been using Invenias for CRM and persuaded the firm to consider the Invenias executive search platform, though Shackell initially hesitated because of the perceived difficulty of migrating legacy records.

Invenias provided an intuitive, integrated search platform with Outlook and web app integrations and automated data capture, which allowed Highfield to redeploy internal resources and eliminate manual input. After switching to Invenias, the firm saved the equivalent of one full‑time researcher and one full‑time administrator, sped up assignment execution by 20–25%, improved reporting and communication, and saw a clear uplift to profitability.
