Covey

Covey is an AI-native recruiting platform focused on two core workflows: outbound candidate sourcing and inbound applicant screening. It is designed for talent acquisition teams that want to reduce manual profile review, scale sourcing and screening throughput, and keep decision-making criteria consistent across recruiters and roles. For outbound sourcing, Covey Scout enables recruiters to describe an ideal candidate in plain language, including trade-offs, and then 'train' a custom bot to evaluate candidate profiles the way a recruiter would. The product emphasizes human-like nuance rather than traditional boolean filters, aiming to save time spent scanning profiles. Covey also highlights multi-source discovery beyond LinkedIn, including resumes, personal websites, and GitHub, and pairs this with automated candidate engagement—personalized outreach and drip campaigns—so teams can run sourcing motions with less hands-on effort. For inbound screening (Covey Scout Inbound), Covey positions the product as a way to automatically evaluate incoming applicants and help teams focus on the top portion of candidates rather than manually filtering resumes. The site describes surfacing top candidates quickly, providing full visibility into the selection process to avoid 'black box' screening, and integrating shortlisting and scheduling workflows into an ATS for a more seamless experience. Covey also offers a CRM component for managing candidate relationships and pipelines, with reporting and analytics including DEI reporting as part of the platform's workflow. The platform is intended to integrate into an existing recruiting stack, with verified integrations including Greenhouse (with Harvest API support), Lever, Ashby, and Bullhorn. On security and privacy, Covey publishes a security and privacy page describing encryption practices and GDPR alignment, including EU data transfer mechanisms via Standard Contractual Clauses. The company maintains compliance with NYC Local Law 144 requiring AI bias audits, demonstrating enterprise readiness. Overall, Covey is best suited for recruiting teams looking to consolidate sourcing, screening, and outreach automation while retaining transparent evaluation criteria and minimizing manual resume and profile review.
