Case Study: Zeal speeds up hiring velocity by 5X with Covey

How Covey helped Zeal outreach passive candidates and speed up hiring velocity by 5X

Zeal, a startup that helps companies build payroll products, was struggling to fill 25 open roles in five months as it scaled after a venture round. The team needed a better way to source passive candidates across engineering, product management, operations, and taxation, and turned to Covey for help.

Using Covey’s sourcing platform, referral network, email campaigns, scheduled sends, and reporting tools, Zeal improved passive candidate outreach and made recruiting more data-driven. The company sped up hiring velocity by 5X, increased employee involvement in sourcing, and boosted open, reply, and interest rates, while also building a stronger talent network and brand awareness.
