2024 Case Study
As the founder of an early-stage startup, it’s hugely challenging to balance recruiting and hiring against the many things we have to do to grow and build our business. In the past, we’d tried to solve this problem by working with nearly a half-dozen recruiting firms, and we too often found that they were a costly and low-value resource that didn’t help us to source and close high-quality candidates. When we were referred to Invenio by one of our investors, we were skeptical that we’d have a different experience. Now, I can’t imagine what our hiring process would have looked like without them.
Within a few months, we had closed 6 incredible engineering hires, and I’d estimate we ended up saving over $162,000 in terms of recruiting contingency costs. Invenio offers a unique engagement model that is truly predictable and full-service: it’s like having a full-time talent acquisition team, without the overhead of hiring a full-time resource. They embedded closely with us — everything from joining our Slack workspace to taking on a company-branded domain so that our candidates didn’t feel like they were being recruited by an external vendor —and did a stellar job of coordinating, negotiating, and closing talent with us. We had weekly check-ins that kept us all on the same page and allowed us to reshape our strategy as we learned from the candidate pipeline, and they saved us countless hours of scheduling and logistics by streamlining our interview process. This allowed us to focus on hiring the right people, without a ton of the operational overhead that comes with it.
Invenio is a game-changer for any startup, and they are one of the few that truly “get it”. We’re definitely going to be using them again in the future for our hiring needs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The smart(est) calendar app that optimizes everyone’s time for better productivity, collaboration, and work-life balance.
The two co-founders of Reclaim started their company trying to solve the scheduling problem for themselves. Reclaim automatically finds and defends time in your calendar to work on the stuff you are always kicking down the road– your tasks, routines, and priorities. It is like the executive assistant you never had.
In the past year they had grown their user base by 4x and by 8x the year before that. With such a rapidly growing user base they needed to scale up their engineering team to match. The right hires were key as they were dealing with very complex business logic making millions of highly sensitive and critical decisions a day. Product-wise, mistakes in a calendar can obliterate the customer experience so the margin of error was very low.
A special note here, Senior hires at Reclaim were by majority Staff level at other companies with an average of 15 years of relevant career experience. Principal hires averaged 20 years of experience.
A latin word; inveniō represents the process and the goal of talent and growth. Finding, discovering, and inventing the right talent for the right roles at the right time.
