Case Study: Kubecost saves 20 hours per week on sourcing with Covey

Sourcing niche Product Manager candidates with precision using Covey's Augmented Candidate Sourcing Tool

Kubecost, a cost optimization tool for Kubernetes teams, needed help hiring a highly technical product manager while their sole recruiter was overwhelmed by roughly 1,000 applicants a month. The role required a careful fit with the company’s vision and specific experience in Kubernetes and relevant company backgrounds, making manual screening too time-consuming. Covey’s augmented candidate sourcing tool was brought in to help with this challenge.

Covey sourced and vetted candidates, matched them against detailed custom criteria, and automated outreach sequences so Kubecost could build a qualified pipeline without extra sourcer headcount. The result was about 20 hours saved per week on sourcing, no need for an external sourcer or dedicated headcount for the role, and more time for strategic candidate relationship building.
