Dover Recruiting Partners: Vetted fractional recruiters for startups. Get top 2% talent on-demand. Flexible pricing, tech-enabled efficiency. Hire expert recruiters for any role without long-term commitments or agency fees.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Max, founder at Dover.
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 is 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 rate 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.
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?
