AI Applicant Sorting — Chat-powered assistant to help you review resumes 10x faster

👋 Anvisha here, co-founder at Dover. Super excited to share our newest launch — AI Applicant Sorting. Applicant volume for roles in tech has risen 2.4x in 2023 from last year’s averages. Yet it’s harder to filter down to top candidates. Most applicants don't end up hearing back, and candidate experience takes a hit. The proprietary tech that powers our automated outbound sourcing engine is now applied to reveal top applicants across all your job boards. Use extremely powerful filters and chat to find candidates matching exactly what you’re looking for and review resumes 10x faster — for free. What is Dover? For the last five years, Dover (YC S19) has enabled Scale AI, OpenSea, Benchling, Vanta, Stripe, and 500+ other startups make thousands of hires. You may have seen some of our other launches like our Free ATS and Sourcing Autopilot. What’s different from other resume review tools? Dover’s AI Applicant Sorting goes far beyond keywords. Dover has a knowledge graph of companies, industries, skillsets and more. AI Applicant Sorting allows you to use super powerful filters and chat to find candidates based on exactly what you’re looking for. As you review candidates, quickly approve or reject in a click. Take bulk actions to send next steps in a fraction of the time. Use hotkeys to speed up review time even more. What kinds of queries can I sort or filter by? It’s AI-powered, so you can get pretty nuanced: - “6+ years experience” - “based in the US or Germany” - “candidates with a fintech background” - “applicants who worked at well-reputed companies” - "account executives with experience at SaaS startups" - “product managers working in healthcare in San Francisco" - “candidates with FAANG experience who went to a top school” - "software engineers who have built data-intensive applications" How hard is it to set up? Import existing applicants from your Applicant Tracking System or get new candidates by posting a job for free with Dover’s ATS, which has everything startups need to build a great recruiting process and candidate experience. It costs $0 and takes a few min to set up. Just want to try it out? Start using the tool with sample candidates in only a few minutes. How much does it cost? Dover’s AI Applicant Sorting is totally free to use, just like our Applicant Tracking System. Why is Dover releasing this for free? Dover’s mission is to help every company run an incredible hiring process and every candidate have a great experience. The best way to do this is by building easy-to-use tools to help every company get the basics right. We make money by selling Sourcing Autopilot and Embedded Recruiter to companies that need help with sourcing or full-cycle recruiting. How do you ensure the AI doesn’t create bias? If you throw AI at a problem, bias can be created. We use AI as a helper to format your inputs into queries that feed into our proprietary systems - which are auditable and explainable. We built this feature to make sure you find people who should get a second look and to ensure everyone hears back from you. AI is used to sort candidates, Dover doesn’t autoreject based on its output. How do I get started?

are you providing Integration with seek and similar portals too? or do we hv to download cvs from those systems first n upload to yours? this is massive u must connect with recruiters coz there's a big market. congratulations 🎊

This is incredibly cool, especially in a world where there's so many qualified applicants for a limited number of jobs! How detailed can the experience criteria be, in terms of filtering for specific past projects?

Could this even help counter bias, by going beyond simple keywords to infer candidate quality and fit?

We use Dover's ATS at Supademo (we're hiring 😉 https://supademo.com/apply) and it's been an asset to our hiring operations. We're able to source, review, and update candidates really easily with pre-built templates and stages. Did I mention it's free?! With the sheer volume of applicants we've been seeing, this new scoring tool will be a huge asset!

This is awesome, I no longer have to rely on candidates embedding the right keywords and biasing towards those that effectively SEO their resume. Can you speak more about the explainability of a query like “fintech background”?

This looks incredible -- will definitely try this out. I like that it's explainable. My only worry about AI would be that I'd miss someone great because of some automated system, but it sounds like this accounts for that.

it’s incredible to see such powerful and impactful tools like this being released for free. recruiting doesn’t have to be a burden and Dovers suite of products is making that even more apparent! 🚀

I am always so impressed with your product thinking. So many applications of LLMs feel forced, and this feels both natural and extremely useful. Can your system integrate with existing HR platforms, and if so, which ones?

This is really cool! Random idea but it would be cool to plug in the job requirement and have candidates selected, with subtle reasoning about why a candidate might be good. E.g. "this person doesn't have experience with backend but they're really aligned with your mission and have a strong track record of learning quickly"

So proud of our team who worked so hard on this! What was once a wild idea is now a reality -- it's super exciting to be shipping novel features in the recruiting space 🚀

Super excited to be part of this launch and proud of what the team has managed to accomplish! Looking forward to hearing what kind of impact this has on people's hiring process!

I'm absolutely thrilled about the launch of AI Applicant Sorting! 🚀 We're always working behind the scenes to enhance the Dover experience, but this one's truly a game-changer.

So awesome that we get to build a powerful tool like AI Applicant Sorting and offer it for free! Giving startups an accessible tool to help smartly sift through their inbound applications is a large step toward our mission of helping every company build an amazing team :)

Awesome work by the team, one of the things we talked about a year ago as an idea and its now a reality :)

So proud of the entire Dover team for their work in this launch. I've enjoyed playing around with this feature and I think people are going to love how incredibly easy it is to sift though a high volume of applicants with Dover's AI Applicant Sorting.

Onward and upward! I love seeing the meaningful, impactful change in the recruiting space coming from the Dover team!

I have experienced how time consuming and incredibly complicated some companies make hiring. Dover is looking to make this process what it should be - seamless and positive! Looking forward to new launches as well!

Very excited about this launch! This tool is going to make hiring that much easier. A big shout-out to the team for all of their hard work!

Super excited for this!! Love that Dover is continuing to find ways to help companies navigate their hiring processes — and for free, too!
