What is Envoy?
Envoy centralizes emergency response settings across every office.
Envoy is a workplace platform that has grown from visitor sign-in into physical security, compliance and emergency response. Its newest release lets admins configure emergency response teams for all locations from the Global overview, after emergency-notification settings went global in early October.
What is Teamtailor?
Teamtailor shows every time in the reader's own time zone, for recruiters and candidates.
Teamtailor is an applicant tracking system whose AI layer spans MCP access, Co-pilot, Smart action triggers and Meeting insights.

October focused on reusing existing talent with Browse candidates and AI match explanations.

Envoy
5.0HR
Envoy centralizes emergency response settings across every office.
◆ Current state
Envoy is a workplace platform that has grown from visitor sign-in into physical security, compliance and emergency response. Its newest release lets admins configure emergency response teams for all locations from the Global overview, after emergency-notification settings went global in early October.
◆ Where it's heading
Envoy is moving admin control from individual sites to the organization level, starting with the safety features that multi-site enterprises are audited on. Alongside this, it keeps adding access-control and security integrations such as Genetec and Cove, which make the front desk part of the security stack.
◆ Prediction
Expect more settings to move into the Global overview, such as visitor policies and screening, along with additional access-control integrations.

◆ Where it's heading
After the late-October push on talent rediscovery and API key hygiene, November is filling in day-to-day recruiter friction for distributed teams and the offer stage. The cadence is several small releases a week, each closing one specific annoyance.
◆ Prediction
Expect more offer-stage and scheduling refinements, plus further Co-pilot reach into Browse candidates; nothing in these entries points to a new AI surface yet.
