Dover
Free ATS plus AI sourcing and a marketplace of fractional recruiters for startups.
About
Dover pairs a free applicant tracking system with recruiting automation aimed at startups. The free ATS covers unlimited jobs and users, interview scheduling, and one-click posting to more than 50 job boards. A Premium plan at $199/month adds AI applicant scoring that ranks inbound candidates against per-role criteria, plus an AI interview notetaker that transcribes calls and pre-fills feedback forms. Dover also runs Sourcing Autopilot, which finds candidate matches from a large profile pool and sends personalized outreach, and a marketplace of vetted fractional recruiters who work inside the same ATS so hiring teams keep real-time visibility into agency activity. Dover reports average cost per hire around $4,000 to $4,800 through its marketplace, though actual engagements vary by role and hours. Limitations: the AI scoring and notetaker sit behind the paid tier, and teams that outgrow self-serve hiring are steered toward marketplace recruiters rather than deeper automation.
