Case Study: Battery Ventures achieves a centralized talent database and streamlined portfolio recruiting with Thrive TRM

Battery Ventures - Customer Case Study

Battery Ventures, a global technology-focused investment firm, faced a recruiting challenge: it had no centralized, online talent database to support hiring across portfolio companies. When Kelly Kinnard joined as VP of Global Talent, she replaced an outdated system of file cabinets and paper resumes and selected Thrive TRM as the software solution based on recommendations from industry peers.

Thrive TRM was implemented as Battery Ventures’ central talent database, with every candidate, resume, interview feedback, and reference recorded and tracked, enabling quick sourcing and introductions across portfolio companies. The platform is used daily by the talent team, offers responsive customer support (often replying within the hour), and delivered the measurable impact of converting fragmented paper records into a single, searchable online talent network—improving hiring efficiency and oversight across Battery’s portfolio.
