What happens when outreach is paused?

When Sourcing Autopilot Autosend is paused in Dover, Dover will stop sending outreach automatically for the duration of the pause.

Pausing outreach does not notify active candidates in the pipeline. Dover recommends contacting candidates to keep them engaged in the interview process.

Pausing does not notify active candidates in the pipeline. Dover recommends contacting candidates to keep them engaged in the interview process.

This does not mean that Dover stops working! Even when Sourcing Autopilot Autosend is paused, we will:

  • continue to send scheduling reminders to candidates who have previously been approved

  • send thank you notes to candidates who have responded that they are not interested

  • send rejections to candidates who have been rejected

Even though Dover is no longer engaging new candidates, you may still see interested candidates come though into Slack if they respond to historical outreach emails. It is still your responsibility to review and action these candidates even though outreach is paused.
