How Covesight works

The truth about "remote," checked every night.

"Remote" gets used to mean a lot of different things: work from home in one city, work from anywhere in one country, or work from anywhere unless you count the fine print about time zones, language, or residency. Most job boards repeat whatever the listing says. We check it.

Every night, Covesight rescans 13,000–15,000 job postings across 207 hiring systems (ATS platforms), the same systems companies actually post to. It isn't a one-time check at the moment a job goes live. A job can be open today and restricted tomorrow, or quietly close and stay listed everywhere else. We look again every night, for as long as a listing exists, so what you see reflects last night's reality, not launch day's.

The scan reads the fine print people skim past: phrases like "US only" or "Anywhere in France" (which usually means France, not anywhere), timezone language like "must overlap 4 hours CET," language requirements buried mid-paragraph, whether a salary is stated or estimated, and how recently a listing was actually posted or last confirmed live. Each becomes a labeled, structured fact attached to the job, not a guess about what "remote" probably means.

That's what the Cove Score is: not a popularity ranking, but a per-job summary of what the scan found, shown as a ring on every listing. Click it for the breakdown into geo-lock, timezone, language, salary transparency, freshness. Tell Covesight your own constraints, country, timezone, language, salary floor, through Daily Scan, and every score becomes personal: not just what the job requires, but whether you clear the bar.

Here's the part most boards skip: what happens when a job fails a check. We don't delete it, and we don't pretend it isn't there. If a "remote" job turns out to be locked to one country, we show that lock, plainly, on the listing, so you can judge whether it still applies to you. The one thing we do remove is a job that fails the nightly rescan entirely: gone from the source, expired, unreachable. No ghost jobs sitting in results for weeks after they've closed.

If we get something wrong, a lock we missed, a listing that's actually closed, tell us. Every job has a report-a-problem link that reaches a person, not a queue. We'd rather fix the scan than have you find out the hard way.
