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.

👥 Who are our Recruiting Partners?

Our starting cohort of recruiters includes some of extremely experienced recruiters.. Here's a glimpse at a few of our partners:

• Michael Sanders: 10+ years VC/big tech talent acquisition | formerly Senior Principal at Human Capital and tech recruiting at Uber, Google | Specializes in technical sourcing for seed/pre-seed startups
• Courtney Mistretta: 9 years technical recruiting | formerly Technical Recruiting Manager at Uber and led hiring for Uber's Self-Driving Division | Expertise in ML, CV, data science, and engineering roles
• Michelle Shen: 5+ years recruiting across growth stages | Engineering & GTM team building | formerly Technical Recruiter at JustWorks, Revel, and other startups | Focus on candidate experience optimization
• … and 30+ others

💰 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 $2 and $10k.
