1build is modernizing construction estimating infrastructure by giving teams API access to more than 68 million live material, labor, and equipment costs across every U.S. county.
Operating in an industry still heavily reliant on static spreadsheets and printed cost catalogs, the company was building ambitious technical infrastructure under significant growth pressure ahead of its next stage of fundraising.
To hit critical product and fundraising milestones, 1build needed to rapidly rebuild and scale its engineering organization - starting with one of the most important hires in the company’s history: a Head of Engineering capable of leading the organization through its next phase of growth.
Over a 12-month partnership, Invenio embedded directly into 1build’s team to help rebuild the company’s engineering and product organization from the ground up - supporting 15 strategic hires across multiple countries while saving an estimated $522K compared to traditional contingent recruiting models.
Engineering, data, product & infrastructure
Ahead of Series A growth, 1build faced a high-stakes hiring environment.
The company needed to rapidly expand technical leadership and engineering capacity while continuing to execute on an ambitious product roadmap in a highly competitive talent market.
The search required balancing technical depth, leadership capability, startup adaptability, and long-term organizational fit — all under aggressive hiring timelines.
Competition for senior engineering talent was intense, and several early-stage offers were declined as candidates weighed opportunities across multiple high-growth startups.
1build needed a recruiting partner capable of adapting quickly, recalibrating in real time, and operating as a true extension of the leadership team throughout the process.
Rather than relying on transactional recruiting agencies, 1build needed a partner who could deeply understand the company’s evolving technical organization and hiring priorities.
The team also supported the selection and migration to a new ATS, helping establish recruiting infrastructure capable of supporting long-term scaling.
As hiring demand fluctuated between intense build phases and quieter operating periods, Invenio scaled recruiting support dynamically alongside the business.
Over the course of the engagement, Invenio supported hiring across engineering, infrastructure, data, and product functions - helping 1build assemble foundational leadership and senior technical talent across multiple geographies.
Hiring spanned more than five countries, with market mapping and compensation analysis conducted across multiple regions to support the company’s global hiring strategy.
Because the recruiting function operated directly inside the company’s workflows, leadership was able to move quickly on calibration, process iteration, and offer strategy throughout the partnership.
Over 12 months, the partnership helped 1build establish the technical foundation required for its next stage of growth.
The engagement helped rebuild core technical leadership and expand engineering capacity across multiple specialized functions.
The partnership enabled 1build to hire across multiple geographies while building recruiting systems and processes capable of supporting future scale.
Compared to traditional agency models, the embedded partnership delivered significant cost savings while maintaining continuity and deep organizational context throughout the hiring process.
