Dover

Your startup's all-in-one recruiting solution

Dover is on a mission to help every company build an amazing team. Every founder and business leader should have the tools and support they need to hire the right talent — fast. Dover combines powerful free software with flexible recruiting services to help startups and growing companies scale efficiently. Dover is built around two core offerings: Free Recruiting Tools: Dover's ATS is a lightweight but powerful applicant tracking system built for busy founders and hiring managers. It’s as easy to use as a spreadsheet but includes everything you need to manage your first 100 hires — without the bloat of traditional ATS platforms. Hundreds of companies use Dover’s free tools to streamline their hiring process and stay in control as they grow. Recruiting Partner Marketplace: When companies need help, Dover connects them with top-tier, fractional recruiters through our on-demand marketplace. Recruiting Partners are experienced, startup-savvy professionals who can step in quickly to manage sourcing, interviewing, closing, and more — without the cost or commitment of an agency or full-time hire. Dover went through Y Combinator in 2019, and today 500+ companies use our product to run a better hiring process. We've raised $23M from top VCs.

Dover Recruiting Partners

We're thrilled to launch Dover Recruiting Partners – our biggest update yet to how startups can hit their hiring goals and hire the best talent.

Over the past 5 years, Dover has helped 1500+ companies like Stripe, Scale AI, OpenSea, Benchling, and Vanta attract and hire top talent. Now, we’re introducing our most flexible and full-service hiring solution for startups: Dover Recruiting Partners.

🚀 What are Dover Recruiting Partners?

Dover Recruiting Partners are vetted fractional recruiters who can work as an extension of your team. We only accept the top 2% of recruiters.

Key features

1️⃣ On-demand expertise: Get help from experienced recruiters when you need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire. Perfect for startups and companies with variable hiring needs.

2️⃣ Flexible pricing: Ramp up or down based on your hiring needs – pay only for the hours you use.

3️⃣ Tech-enabled efficiency: Recruiters can use Dover’s ATS, Sourcing Extension, and other tools so they can focus on strategic work and keep their costs low.

4️⃣ Transparent metrics: We share cost-per-hire and fill rates for our recruiters before you hire them so you can find the perfect recruiter for you.

🤔 Why did we build this?

Recruiting consistently ranks as a top 3 problem for startups, regardless of their stage or industry. Before companies are big enough to justify hiring a full-time recruiter, they often have to resort to agencies.

We like to say with agencies, "You'll be unhappy either way"—either you won't make a hire and waste time, or you will make a hire and pay $30k+ per placement. There’s a reason you don’t hire engineers or marketers on “contingency.”

We wanted to provide a more flexible, higher-quality solution. Dover Recruiting Partners gives you access to top-tier recruiting talent without the long-term commitment or exorbitant fees. Our fractional recruiting model allows you to work with a separate expert recruiter for each role you're hiring for, whether it's a senior engineer, a sales leader, or a product manager.

💰 How much does it cost?

Most companies spend an average of $80 per hour, depending on the services they use. The cost per hire across the platform varies, but it usually ends up being between $4 and $7k.

🚀 How do I get started?

Head to dover.com/recruiter and click "Get matched with a recruiter". We'll set you up with a free call to understand your needs and match you with the perfect Recruiting Partner.

We're excited to help companies of all sizes build amazing teams. If you have any questions, drop them in the comments or email me directly at max@dover.com.
