FAQ
Asked, answered
Do Avery and Metaview overlap?
Partly. Metaview is strongest around the interview itself; Avery runs the pipeline before and around it: market intelligence, sourcing with explained matches, outreach from your inbox, and the Talent Hub. Some teams use both.
What is Avery not built to do?
Avery does not record or transcribe your interviews, and it does not send LinkedIn messages or InMails for you. It sources candidates, explains why each one matched, drafts the outreach, sends email from your own inbox, and keeps everyone you touched in the Talent Hub. If AI interview notes are the pain you feel most, Metaview is the specialist there and we'd say so on a call.
Does Avery replace my ATS?
No. Avery sits next to your ATS and connects to it, with import and export both ways for Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby, Teamtailor, Recruitee and 50+ more. Your ATS stays the system of record; the Talent Hub becomes the searchable memory of every candidate you have spoken to.
What happens to my data if I stop using Avery?
You can export your candidate data before you leave, through the same two-way ATS connection you used to import it. Account data is securely deleted within 30 days of account closure, as set out in our privacy policy. Solo is a monthly subscription you can cancel yourself, with no call required.
