Case Study: Kumospace attracts top engineers and product designers with Covey

How Kumospace attracted and hired phenomenal engineers and product designers as an early stage startup with one recruiter

Kumospace, an online immersive video chat platform, needed to hire its first engineers and product designers in a highly competitive market with sky-high salaries, while relying on just one recruiter to manage outbound sourcing. To keep hiring costs under control, the company turned to Covey and its Augmented Sourcing product.

Covey helped Kumospace automate cold outreach, run nuanced candidate searches, and iterate on targeting and messaging without adding another recruiter. By loosening the criteria and using Covey’s send-on-behalf-of feature, Kumospace increased reply rates to about 20%, generating roughly 3 to 5 interested candidates per week for recruiter screens and hiring a founding product designer in under 4 weeks.
