FLOWN Collaborates with Adeva to Hire High-Profile Talent and Accelerate Growth
Founded in 2019, FLOWN is a remote-first, virtual co-working platform that helps people improve focus in a digitally dependent world, filled with constant information and distractions. The platform offers a range of "body doubling" solutions—where users work synchronously—to boost focus at work, accountability, and well-being.
Adeva helped us rethink our approach to hiring engineering talent. Each of the candidates they've consistently provided has been top-notch, perfectly aligning with our needs in terms of budget, technical skillset, and culture. This approach allowed us to scale quickly and build a robust platform during a critical time.
challenges
FLOWN needed to quickly scale their engineering team to keep up with the growing demand for their platform, as more people sought effective ways to stay focused and be productive. However, they struggled to attract the right engineering talent directly, and mainstream agencies were unable to meet their specific needs.

FLOWN connected with Adeva, a global talent network known for providing high-profile engineering talent from all over the globe on flexible terms. Adeva's ability to match FLOWN's specific needs with top engineering talent stood out, which eliminated the need to sift through countless CVs.

Challenge
FLOWN faced challenges in hiring the right tech talent. Working with agencies often proved time-consuming, expensive, and inconsistent. The process was further complicated by the overwhelming number of CVs they received—sometimes up to 400 for a single role—which led to an exhaustive and time-consuming review process. Additionally, they were often required to hire entire teams, resulting in unnecessary cost inefficiencies.
The urgency intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. FLOWN needed to quickly enhance their platform to meet the surge in demand from remote workers seeking ways to stay focused and avoid distractions. They needed to scale their teams with flexible professionals who could excel in an early-stage environment and provide strong support on both the back end and front end.
The need for speed and precision in hiring became critical, and that's when FLOWN discovered Adeva. This marked a major shift in their approach—Adeva offered a solution that delivered tech talent quickly and efficiently, enabling Flow to achieve its aggressive growth aspirations.
