covenant | March 19, 2026

Tampa, FL — March 19, 2026 — Covenant HR announced its inclusion in the ASHHRA Preferred Partner Program (AP3), managed in collaboration with Lockton, as healthcare organizations prepare for increasing hiring complexity and risk in 2026.

Covenant HR was selected through a rigorous AP3 vetting process focused on healthcare relevance, operational maturity, and demonstrated value for HR leaders navigating highly regulated environments. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to credibility, compliance, and measurable hiring outcomes, particularly as healthcare organizations face mounting pressure to hire faster without compromising trust or governance.

Scout™ is designed to support proactive sourcing, structured evaluation, and coordinated recruiting workflows – helping organizations improve early-stage hiring signals while maintaining transparency and consistency.

“Healthcare hiring requires more than speed,” said Casey Marquette, CEO of Covenant HR. “It requires systems and partners that HR leaders can evaluate, trust, and rely on over time. Being included in AP3 reflects a shared commitment to practical solutions that hold up in real operating environments.”

As part of its 2026 roadmap, Covenant HR continues to expand Scout™ capabilities that allow organizations to assess recruiting outcomes in live roles before making long-term commitments.

The Chief Human Resource Officer AI Companion for Faster, More Confident Hiring

covenant | July 17, 2025

Before establishing Covenant HR, Casey Marquette spent years leading cybersecurity programs for some of the world’s largest corporations. That front-line experience shaped his perspective on how staffing companies approach the hiring process, and over time, several patterns emerged.

High-potential candidates were often overlooked, as statistically, only about 15 percent of all applicants were even reviewed. Those who were reviewed were sometimes passed over due to rigid screening tools or narrowly defined search parameters. While hiring managers had access to data, they often lacked the context-rich insights needed to support confident decision-making. For applicants, the process frequently felt transactional, with limited feedback and little transparency into how decisions were made.

That realization led to the development of Scout™, Covenant HR’s proprietary AI-powered platform designed to think like an army of recruiters—one being a senior recruiter, one being a technical recruiter, and one being an industry standards expert recruiter.

“Scout™ was never meant to replace the recruiter’s judgment,” says Marquette. “It’s designed to strengthen it, acting as a force multiplier that processes large volumes of information in seconds, identifies patterns that might be missed, and delivers insights that help hiring leaders make faster, sharper and more informed decisions.”

While most applicant tracking systems prioritize keyword filtering and resume ranking, Scout™ is engineered to go deeper. It reviews every applicant against role-specific criteria set by hiring leaders, prioritizing what truly matters for the job. Within 2.2 seconds, each candidate is scored on the scale of 1 to 10 based on job-critical requirements, and both qualified and unqualified applicants receive structured, helpful feedback.

Speed is matched by superior intelligence. Supported by a massive library of roles across industries, Scout™ pressure-tests candidates against the everyday demands of the job to find a better fit. When someone meets the criteria, Scout™ triggers a text and email with an interview link. In some cases, applicants transition from submitting their resume to a scheduled interview in under five minutes.

Scout™ lifts the cognitive weight of resume triage, enabling recruiters to redirect their focus toward cultivating relationships with high-potential candidates. For employers, this shift elevates hiring outcomes with better-aligned talent and a lower risk of costly misfires. For candidates, it reintroduces what has long been missing from the hiring experience—transparency, clarity and a sense of being genuinely valued throughout the process.

From Missed Talent to Measured Potential

Scout™ eliminates the blind spots that slow down hiring and dilute decision quality. It begins by evaluating applicants against the role’s core requirements—the criteria hiring managers prioritize—to bring consistency, objectivity and focus to a process that’s often rushed and subjective.

Its streamlined job requisition interface amplifies that clarity. By unifying all open roles, whether sourced from LinkedIn, an ATS, or internal inputs, into one intuitive dashboard, Scout™ eliminates information silos and keeps teams synced in real time. Every detail—from role status and urgency to candidate pipeline and scoring benchmarks—can be surfaced at a glance.

This level of visibility transforms how staffing teams operate. With real-time insights, they can pivot seamlessly between roles, prioritize based on client urgency and stay proactive in fast-moving environments. Intelligent filters further allow users to segment roles by geography, industry, relevance, or client tier, turning an unwieldy workload into a targeted, strategic pipeline. The tighter alignment leads to faster execution and a clear edge in high-volume or high-stakes hiring scenarios.

Engagement That Runs on Autopilot

Candidate coordination is where Scout™ takes over, eliminating one of the most time-consuming friction points in the hiring process. Its automated interview scheduling—fully integrated with calendar tools like Google and Outlook—removes the need for endless back-and-forth. The moment a candidate crosses the evaluation threshold, Scout™ springs into action, pulling available time slots from the hiring manager’s calendar, sending a personalized invite, confirming availability and booking the meeting—all without a single, manual intervention.

This automation translates into a tangible competitive advantage. When interviews are scheduled instantly, candidate momentum is preserved, minimizing drop-offs and improving close rates. Hiring managers appreciate the ability to stay focused on decision-making rather than chasing updates or juggling scheduling logistics. Even under bandwidth pressure, Scout™ ensures the pipeline continues to move efficiently and reliably.

But coordination is only the beginning. Scout™ also removes barriers to global scale with support for 32 languages, enabling seamless multilingual communication and cross-border hiring. It equips staffing firms to confidently expand into new markets without being constrained by language limitations or inconsistent localization.

Scout™ addresses another pervasive breakdown in the candidate experience—silence.

“Most people can handle not getting the job,” Marquette explains. “What leaves a lasting impression is never hearing back, or never knowing why.”

That’s why Scout™ closes the loop with every applicant. Whether it’s feedback on unmet resume criteria or insights from interview assessments, candidates receive structured, respectful responses, restoring transparency and trust in the process.

Trusted by Teams Who Know the Grind

Tech startups tend to bolt AI onto recruiting with little domain depth. Scout™ was designed by a Harvard-trained AI expert with more than two decades of applied experience and shaped by senior leaders who served as CISOs and CHROs. As a result, from parsing contextual fit to mitigating bias, Scout™ brings critical thinking, speed and adaptability to each hiring decision, making it a strategic extension of the recruiting team.

Security is also engineered into the platform’s DNA. Scout™ is SOC 2 Type II certified and built by a former enterprise cybersecurity director. Each client instance is both physically and logically separated, with no shared environments and no cross-contamination. This zero-trust architecture minimizes risk, strengthens compliance, and gives companies peace of mind that their candidate data is safeguarded at every layer.

“Even at my own company, we may never need to hire another recruiter,” says Marquette. “Using Scout™, our current recruiters can work more efficiently and productively.”

The impact is visible in numbers. Covenant HR holds a Net Promoter Score of 79—a standout metric in an industry where anything above 50 is considered exceptional. That number reflects more than satisfaction. It signals enduring trust, measurable impact, and operational excellence that few can match.

Engineering What’s Next

Covenant HR is stepping boldly into its next phase of innovation. Among its upcoming advancements is intelligent fraud detection—an AI-powered feature that analyzes screen engagement and behavioral cues during interviews to assess candidate authenticity in real time, reinforcing trust and integrity in the hiring process. In addition, multi-voice detection will be introduced to help identify fraudulent interviews.

Also on the horizon is Scout™’s smart job board optimization engine, designed to intelligently match each role with the highest-performing platforms. By aligning job postings with data-backed recommendations, an employer can maximize recruitment ROI while eliminating wasted spend on underperforming channels.

What makes all this powerful isn’t just the tech. It’s the intentionality behind it. Scout™ is engineered to serve both sides of the hiring equation—elevating recruiter efficiency while restoring transparency to job seekers. That’s the perfect world Covenant HR is building for the next era of modern recruiting.

Working Smarter: How Covenant Technologies Developed Innovative Staffing Tech to Improve Their Business

covenant | July 17, 2025

We sat down with clients Casey Marquette and Joe Quinn of Covenant HR to talk innovation in staffing technology and how their proprietary recruiting platform, Scout™, is changing the game for their business.

Casey Marquette, Founder and CEO of Covenant HR, has spent his career filling in the gaps. As a Chief Information Security Officer for a Fortune 100 company and then COO of a consulting firm for staffing, he saw firsthand how failing to innovate was holding these companies back.

“And I thought, I can do it better. When I got into staffing, there were a lot of gaps we recognized, and the way to address them is through technology. I launched my company three years ago, and the first year we made over $5 million. And it’s only going up from there.”

Covenant HR, founded in 2022, is a Florida-based provider of IT and cybersecurity staffing, recruiting, and talent solutions. Their real differentiator is Scout™, a proprietary AI assisted recruiting tool that consistently delivers high quality candidates and improve their business.

And the recent addition of his former colleague and former Covenant board member Joe Quinn as COO has only improved the outlook. Joe has worked as a CHRO for global companies and brings a unique perspective to the company.

“The reason I came aboard is that I knew and understood the business and I saw how it was growing. And a large part of that is because Scout is a total game changer.”

For Staffing, By Staffing

Marquette has always been driven by the power of innovation and being on the cutting edge of tech like AI and automation.

“I am a firm believer in working smarter and not harder, leveraging technology, and sharing what’s working with each other. That’s why we built Scout. Using technology is the only way to close those gaps and take it to the next level in this industry.”

The platform is ‘designed to solve hiring challenges across industries by blending human intuition with AI-driven precision.’ And the reason that Scout is superior to other tools, according to Marquette, is because it was built by a staffing firm.

“You have all these tech companies coming out with solutions and they don’t hit the mark. We are a staffing company, we know staffing, and we knew what it needed to do. We are further along than any other solution because of our background. And it also doesn’t hurt that a former CHRO (Quinn) is providing feedback.”

And according to Quinn, part of what makes their tool unique – and fun to sell – is that it is customizable to their customer’s preferences.

“Our developers can make it better both for our internal needs and our customers needs. They ask, ‘hey, can Scout do this?’ I’ll give you an example. We always interview our hiring managers and ask, what are 3-5 must haves? One of our customers asks, can we have 7 must haves? Within a day, our developer updated the software. We iterate weekly and constantly improve.”

Finding Talent

Marquette says that for most jobs they post, they receive between 300-500 applications. While a recruiter might go through 50 that were “good enough”, that still left the majority of applications never touched.

“We weren’t getting our clients the best talent possible because a human could not look through all of them efficiently, and we couldn’t have hired that many recruiters.”

With Scout, within 2.2 seconds, a candidate is evaluated against job criteria. If they score above a certain range, they get a text and an email within 5 minutes asking them to interview. The tool also knows 32 languages, extending the talent pool even further. The platform also offers specific feedback to each candidate on what they could improve to get a higher score.

“Scout does a couple thing for us,” adds Marquette. “Of course there is the speed of evaluation and speed to hire, of course. But beyond that, it also gives us better quality candidates because it is trained on multiple LLM models across industries. It knows more about these tech roles than any human recruiter could.”

But that’s not to say that Scout entirely replaces human interaction. In fact, Marquette says that their recruiters love the tool because they are making more money. A recruiter can come in and see a dashboard that has 600 applications all sorted by relevance to the role. It allows for one-click interviewing, integrates with Teams and Google, and the platform itself goes back and forth with the candidate to find a time that works, allowing recruiters to use their time more efficiently.

“Scout allows us to have technology with human interaction,” says Quinn. “Let me give you a quick example. Last week I was about to fill a job at a healthcare company. When I did a second interview with the candidate, I asked about location because that was impacting her score. Turns out she was moving to the city where they are located, so I updated her account. That took her from a D score to B in location and increased her total score in Scout. The power is amazing and you can see it working in real time.”

“Before Scout, we specialized in cyber security and IT,” says Marquette. “Now, we fill all kinds of roles. It doesn’t get sick, it works 24/7 365 days a year, it understands every role. We set a record last month, all due to this tool.”

Future Vision

Marquette says his 10-year vision has always been to be the trendsetters in AI and automation in staffing. And this goes for internal processes as well. Covenant just hired someone to automate financial processes including commissions, leaving the work to an AI agent.

It all comes down to optimizing time and resources, and tech is the way to get there.

“I had lunch with a staffing owner the other day. I have 8 people on my team, he has 26. We have the same revenue. The reason we are making more money with less people is because we leverage technology. If you aren’t on top of it, you will never make it.”

And that feeds right into what success means for Covenant.

“Do I want nice things for myself? Sure,” says Marquette. “But the thing I absolutely love is, because we are using tech and working smart, my staff is getting bigger bonuses and their lives are improved. To me, that’s way better than having a bunch of houses.”

And their partnership with Advance Partners helps. When they started and grew faster than Marquette could have imagined, he realized he couldn’t pay the contractors.

“It was a great problem to have, but not making payroll would not be a great problem. We partnered with AP and that stress was eliminated.”

The Real Risk In Recruiting Isn’t AI; It’s IA (InAction)

covenant | June 24, 2025

When AI entered the recruiting conversation, it was met with both optimism and apprehension. It promised to streamline hiring, reduce bias and help organizations find better talent faster. For some, that promise is starting to come true. But for most, it remains just out of reach.

According to LinkedIn, 73% of talent acquisition professionals agree that AI will reshape how companies hire. Yet despite this momentum, only 11% of recruiting teams report having truly integrated AI into their processes, and more than 30% haven’t explored it at all.

This hesitancy is understandable. AI raises valid concerns about bias, data privacy, transparency and cost. But I believe many companies are overlooking a larger risk; doing nothing leaves recruiting teams at a growing disadvantage.

The Status Quo Is Quietly Breaking Down

Most recruiting still relies on manual processes and disconnected technologies. Resumes are screened by overworked teams. Interview scheduling drags out for days. Candidate evaluations vary wildly depending on who’s involved. This status quo is inefficient, expensive and increasingly unsustainable.

Top candidates don’t wait around. Many receive multiple offers in days. Slow hiring cycles in high-pressure industries like healthcare, insurance and technology mean lost talent, missed revenue and damaged employer reputation.

Even companies that have invested in technology often find themselves frustrated. Their platforms may offer plenty of features, but they weren’t built with recruiters in mind. They provide data without insight, automation without strategy and compliance without clarity—digital clutter.

AI Alone Won’t Fix Recruiting—But Its Role Is Evolving

The idea that AI can replace recruiters is not only misleading but harmful. The best hiring decisions still require final human judgment. What AI can do is help recruiters spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on high-value work.

This is where a better framework is needed, one that views AI not as a substitute but as a support system.

Augmented Intelligence refers to the intentional use of AI to enhance, not replace, human decision-making. In recruiting, it means AI assists with speed, insight and scale, while people bring context, judgment and relationship. This model remains the most accurate and forward-looking framework for how AI should operate in recruiting.

What’s changing is what AI is capable of.

Today’s advanced AI models, especially those powered by large language models (LLMs), do far more than analyze and accelerate. They can learn from hiring patterns, feedback loops and recruiter input. They begin to understand role requirements and the less tangible elements of cultural fit and leadership style. Over time, they adapt, refining candidate recommendations based on outcomes, team feedback and even subtle preferences that emerge across hiring cycles.

For example, AI can now flag which candidates meet hard skill requirements and which ones are most likely to thrive within a specific team dynamic. It can pick up on tone, communication style and alignment with stated values, especially when that data is fed back into the system with thoughtful human input.

That said, AI is not a standalone solution. It’s a system that gets smarter in partnership with the people using it. Recruiters still play the essential role in validating, interpreting and humanizing decisions. They see the subtleties that algorithms can’t always explain, like when a candidate needs reassurance before an offer call or when a resume doesn’t tell the whole story.

The real power lies in the partnership. When recruiters and AI systems learn together, hiring becomes faster, more intelligent, inclusive and aligned with long-term success.

What’s Holding Teams Back?

While the technology exists, real adoption still lags. The reasons vary, but looking at my work with clients, internal recruiters and HR teams over the past few years, some common themes emerge:

• Bias Concerns: Fears that AI will reinforce existing inequities.

• Opaque Systems: Tools that don’t explain how decisions are made.

• Poor Integration: Platforms that disrupt more than they support.

• Limited Training: Recruiters unsure how to use the tools effectively.

• Lack Of Leadership Alignment: Tech investments without strategic backing.

These are solvable problems. However, solving them requires a mindset shift from viewing AI as a one-size-fits-all product to understanding it as a framework that evolves with the team.

What Recruiters Need Now

For AI to create lasting value in hiring, it must be embedded in transparent, fair and recruiter-centric systems. That means:

• Customizable scoring models that recruiters can adjust.

• Mobile-friendly workflows that simplify scheduling, feedback and even initial interviewing.

• Real-time summaries that keep teams aligned and data clear.

• Ethical design principles that prioritize job-relevant skills over proxies like resume formatting or educational pedigree.

It also means taking a hard look at the current recruiting tech stack. Many tools are siloed; they offer overlapping features but don’t communicate. A more effective path forward is to consolidate around platforms that support recruiters in practical, flexible ways.

For Talent Leaders, The Window Is Now

The companies that win the talent war in 2025 and beyond won’t be those that rely on AI the most. They’ll be the ones that use it most wisely, choosing tools that respect the craft of recruiting while amplifying what makes it powerful.

These companies will:

• Replace reactive hiring cycles with data-informed planning.

• Reduce time-to-fill without cutting corners on quality.

• Deliver better candidate experiences, from first contact to offer.

• Equip recruiters with insight, not just automation.

This doesn’t require a total overhaul. It starts with asking the right questions: Where are we losing time in our hiring process? What tools are our recruiters actually using, and which are getting in the way? Are we learning from each hire, or repeating the same process without feedback?

If the answers point to gaps in consistency, efficiency or visibility, AI can help—but only if it’s purposefully introduced.

The Bottom Line

The future of recruiting isn’t about removing humans from hiring. It’s about removing the obstacles that keep them from doing their best work.

The tools are ready. The question is whether we’re ready to use them before someone else hires the people we want.

Small business owner donates money to Holmes Beach businesses

covenant | October 29, 2024

HOLMES BEACH, Fla. — After enduring two hurricanes, local businesses are determined to get back on their feet.

In Holmes Beach, some businesses are not open, are opening soon, or are already open for business.

Many employees haven’t been back to work in weeks after Milton and Helene went through the Tampa Bay area, so one local business owner in Holmes Beach is helping out

Casey Marquette is checking in on one of his regular spots — the Freckled Fin Irish Pub in Holmes Beach.

He owns a small staffing agency called Covenant Technologies and relates to what other business owners are going through, so he decided to help.

“We donated to several small businesses on the island, and we’ve asked those businesses to give the money to the employees because, obviously, the businesses were shut down, and the employees are not making the money they would normally make,” he said.

This isn’t the first time Marquette has done this. In 2022, he donated more than $20,000 to first responders, and just last week, he donated $15,000 to several local businesses.

“It will help a little bit, but making people smile is what will have a bigger impact,” he said.

Marquette knows firsthand how impactful the storms were — he says he lost everything inside his home.

“There was two feet of water — literally everything is being thrown out. My aunt and I had to sit on the roof for four hours. It was scary,” he said.

He almost lost his dog, Vinny, from the storm surge during Hurricane Helene.

“I thought, ‘I’m his dad. I’ve killed my dog. He’s in this house drowning.’ So I start running around the house, knee-deep in water, and I found Vinny doing the doggy paddle in the living room,” he said.

Marquette is thankful for what he saved and has now turned his focus to helping both his family and his community recover.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tampa, FL, Apr. 17, 2024 – Covenant Technologies, a premier provider of staffing solutions in the IT and cybersecurity sectors, proudly unveils its membership and strategic alliance with Northeastern University’s Center for Technology Management and Digital Leadership (CTMDL). This strategic collaboration represents a significant stride in addressing the growing lack of bench strength in the cybersecurity industry with an increasing need for higher-level talent.

At the heart of this collaboration lies a unique opportunity for individuals entering the MS in Strategic Technology Leadership Business School Program (STL) through Covenant’s Strategic Alliance as a member of Northeastern’s CTMDL. These individuals will receive a robust discount of 25%, an offer not accessible through direct access to Northeastern.

These programs, led by industry mentors and Northeastern faculty, can be tailored in duration and delivery format to meet organizational needs.
Workforce CISO Services: Through collaboration with Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS), Northeastern University facilitates cyber employment opportunities for underserved populations, including veterans. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between skilled talent and industry demand, offering managed services and professional development training.
Corporate Membership and Alliance Relationships: CTMDL offers annual memberships to companies, granting access to mentors, educational discounts, technology updates, and research opportunities. Those with exclusive relationships benefit from co-branding opportunities and collaboration on joint ventures.
Digital Leaders Program: Executives seeking education in management in a digital world can enroll in the Digital Leaders Program, receiving personalized education and mentorship support. Graduates receive a certificate and lifetime membership in CTMDL.
