Dover

Dover is a startup-focused recruiting platform that combines an applicant tracking system (ATS), candidate sourcing tools, and access to a recruiter marketplace. It is positioned for founding teams and growing businesses that want to run a structured hiring process without heavy configuration or enterprise pricing. Dover's core product includes a free ATS designed to help teams start hiring quickly. The site emphasizes that the ATS supports unlimited users and jobs and provides job board integrations, candidate tracking, and Gmail and calendar integrations. For teams that want additional automation and support, Dover also offers a paid "Premium ATS" plan priced as a monthly subscription. On the AI side, Dover promotes capabilities such as AI applicant scoring and AI note taking (listed as Premium ATS features), as well as "AI-powered resume scoring" messaging across the site. These are designed to reduce manual screening and help teams move candidates through stages efficiently. Beyond the ATS, Dover provides "Free Sourcing" tools, including a sourcing extension aimed at LinkedIn workflows. The sourcing extension is described as enabling users to find emails and send outreach quickly, and it is labeled "Free forever." This makes Dover relevant both for inbound applicant management (ATS) and outbound sourcing. Dover also operates a Recruiting Marketplace where companies can access fractional recruiters; the pricing page states that recruiters set their own rates. This marketplace component is intended for startups that want flexible recruiting help without traditional agency retainers. Overall, Dover is best suited for startups and small-to-mid teams that want a lightweight, fast-to-deploy recruiting stack (ATS + sourcing) with the option to add paid ATS features and on-demand recruiter support as hiring scales.
