⏱️ 15 min/week (Hiring Manager)
We offer Dover Interviewers so you can delegate initial phone screens to our team of experts. Last year, we conducted over 27,000 interviews for both technical and go-to-market roles.
Take 2 minutes to review the Interview Notes and approve or reject each candidate.
☎️ Pitch top candidates yourself [Optional]
⏱️ 4 hrs/week
Your team might want to take the first call yourself to pitch candidates directly. Select yourself or a team member from the interviewer dropdown in Slack before selecting Approve.
Each interviewer can set up their interview preferences here.
4️⃣ Second Round Interview
⏱️ 1-2 hrs/week
After the phone screen, you can advance the candidate to the next stage in your Interview Plan. This is often a call with the hiring manager. If you use Embedded Recruiter, Dover will schedule this call for you.
5️⃣ Late-stage scheduling (technical interviews, take home assignments, and onsites)
⏱️ 4 hr/week
After early stage interviews, you can advance candidates to late stage interviews such as technical interviews, take home assignments, and onsites.
