👋 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?

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”?
Anvisha Pai
@neilsatra1 definitely- it’s designed to solve a lot of those issues. For something like “fintech background”, AI will translate this into our sourcing engine which has a ton of filters. Our sourcing engine has mappings of which companies fit into which industries and will spit out an answer along with an explanation “candidate worked at Robinhood (fintech) for 6 years”. It’s much easier for this to be explainable than an LLM-only model.
Useful, clean, and easy way to improve your candidate elimination process. Great work!
Katy Culver
@ozkalai tysm!
Winnie H.
This looks awesome!! What a great use of AI to solve for a common pain point that anyone who has had to screen for candidates can relate to. The UI looks slick as well, great job Dover team - can't wait to try it out!
Katy Culver
@winniehepp looking forward to hearing what you think about it Winnie!
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?
Katy Culver
@jesika_haria hey Jesika! thanks so much, do you mean filtering only on past project experience? or using past project experience to find what you're looking for? the latter you can achieve with keywords as long as the applicant lists those past projects on their resume!
Katy Culver
@jesika_haria also -- this article covers our standard criteria + the fuzzy scope beyond it https://help.dover.com/en/articl... It's powered by OpenAI's best models, so the sky's the limit! would encourage you to play around with it and let us know how it works!
Shoaib Mahmud
Wow, loved it, This product needs serious attention!

@theshoaib thanks Shoaib!! What stood out to you most?

This is the future of recruiting! RIP the "x-ray search". Amazing work on this!
Katy Culver
@george_carollo1 the future is now, thanks for all your support!
Joseph Lee
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!
Katy Culver
@supademo_joe this is amazing to hear Joseph! Thank you for your support!
Davin Hazard
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 🚀
Katy Culver
@davin_hazard very proud of you and the whole team Davin! A wild idea indeed
Justin LoTurco
@davin_hazard teamwork makes the dream work 💪💪
Luke Epp
@davin_hazard I had a great time working alongside you on this launch!
Brittany Nickell
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! 🚀
Katy Culver
@b_nick thank you for your endless support Brittany, it means so much!
Naveed Rehman
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 🎊
Katy Culver
@naveed_rehman thanks Naveed! Dover has native integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and LinkedIn. For any other platforms, our support team can support you on bulk uploading!
Noah MacCallum
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"
Katy Culver
@noah_maccallum1 yes, Dover generates sample candidates for you immediately based on your JD. They're sorted by best match vs. your criteria. Soon, we're shipping "explainers" so it's really clear why someone did or did not match!
Justin LoTurco
@noah_maccallum1 Appreciate your thoughts Noah! Your idea is certainly in line with our thinking -- we pull information from your job description regarding criteria you are looking for, and use this information to help sort your list of applicants by best match.
Noah MacCallum
Awesome glad you guys are on it! Another random idea, I kinda want this for community housemate matching too 🤔
Coyne Lloyd
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?
Katy Culver
@coyne_lloyd1 thanks Coyne, means a lot to the team here! Dover has native integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and LinkedIn. Our Embedded Recruiters help customers stay in sync with other tools as needed!
Justin LoTurco
@coyne_lloyd1 Thanks for the kind words, Coyne!

Justin LoTurco

Jacky Liang
Awesome work by the team, one of the things we talked about a year ago as an idea and its now a reality :)
Katy Culver
@jacky_liang2 thanks Jacky! idea → reality is our speciality :)
Rajiv Ayyangar
Could this even help counter bias, by going beyond simple keywords to infer candidate quality and fit?
Katy Culver
@rajiv_ayyangar 100%. Keywords are limiting and require that candidates are super SEO-optimizing their resumes! Using additional context can help surface actual matching experience for candidates you otherwise may have missed!
