Dover is a hiring platform built for startups that combines a free applicant tracking system with a marketplace of independent, fractional recruiters. It is aimed at early-stage and venture-funded companies that need to hire but do not have a large in-house recruiting team.
On the tools side, Dover offers AI-based resume scoring, automatically generated job descriptions, posting to a wide range of job boards, a browser extension for sourcing candidates on LinkedIn, employee referral tracking, and a portal for managing outside recruiting agencies. On the marketplace side, companies can browse profiles of fractional recruiters, each showing their experience, location, and recent hiring outcomes, and bring one on to run a search directly. The two sides are meant to work together, so a startup can handle sourcing and screening itself while still tapping outside recruiting help for harder roles.
The applicant tracking system and sourcing tools are free to use, with unlimited jobs and candidates. Recruiters on the marketplace charge placement fees when they successfully fill a role, rather than a flat subscription price.
