Functionality
We integrate with Greenhouse via their API to automatically add Dover candidates and prevent duplicate outreach.
The integration has the following functionality:
Adds all Dover candidate information to Greenhouse along with source, email, LinkedIn profile, and phone number (when accessible).
Prevents Dover from reaching out to existing candidates who have been added to your Greenhouse (within 1 year).
It's important to note that for Dover's automation to work correctly, approving/rejecting Dover candidates must take place in Slack or the Dover App rather than Greenhouse. Once you take action on a candidate in Dover, that information will update in Greenhouse - typically within an hour, but always within 24 hours. If you're noticing disparities or latency between Dover and your Greenhouse, please reach out to the Dover Support Team!
❓ What information gets added to Greenhouse?
Candidate Name
Candidate Email
Candidate LinkedIn profile (added under Details)
Dover Source (also added under Details)
Email Correspondence (added under Activity Feed)
Scheduled Interview details for any calls scheduled via Dover scheduling (added on the main page of the candidate profile under the interview plan stage) as long as the interview stage is mapped to a stage in Greenhouse and feedback forms are enabled
💡 To enable feedback forms, please go to your Interview Plan in Dover and choose a feedback form for each stage by clicking ✏️ next to each interview stage and selecting the correct Feedback form from the dropdown options.
Link to Dover Interviewer initial call notes (added on sidebar of candidate profile)
For Applicants already in Greenhouse, if Dover is synced to that job (see instructions here), Dover will filter candidates through the job persona and tag them in Greenhouse to let you know our decision. You will see the following tags:
Candidate Passes: Dover Recommends Advance
Candidate Fails: Dover Recommends Reject
❓ When do candidates get added?
It may take up to 1 hour for candidates to sync to Greenhouse.
You have two options:
Add everyone: Candidates will get added as a prospect when we reach out. When they are interested/qualified by you, an application will be added to the prospect and they will be moved into the "First Call" stage.
Add only interested/qualified people: Candidates will be added when they are interested and approved by you. They will be added under the "First Call" stage.
🤚🏼 By default, applicants who apply to job postings created by Dover will be added only after being approved for scheduling in Slack or the Dover App. You can edit when applicants are added here: https://app.dover.io/setup/company/ats-settings
❓ What stages does Dover set for candidates?
Dover allows you to map your Interview Plan to correspond to your Greenhouse interview stages. Once you have mapped your ATS stages in Dover to your stages in Greenhouse, candidates will appear in the correct stages in both Dover and Greenhouse.
You can learn more about setting up your Interview Plan here.
If the candidate was rejected or withdrawn in Dover, they will be rejected in Greenhouse.
❓ What does Dover track from Greenhouse?
⚡ It may take up to a day to sync the Greenhouse state back to Dover.
Dover will track how far candidates make it in Greenhouse back into Dover so we can provide you with metrics on how we are doing.
You can learn more about setting up your Interview Plan here.
❓ How does candidate exclusion work?
We don't send outreach to anyone that has had any activity for 1 year, regardless of the job they were sourced for. This applies to Prospects as well.
❓ What if I move candidates to a different job in Greenhouse?
We will not be able to track the candidates unless the candidate has been moved to the other role through Dover. Please reach out to Support.

FAQ

To update an existing Harvest API key, begin by clicking the Configure icon in the upper right-hand corner. Navigate to Dev Center on the left-hand panel.

To edit the permissions granted to an existing Harvest API key, click Edit next to the key.

❓ Why are the ATS Links in Dover not working?
If Dover is adding candidates to Greenhouse but the links in Slack or Email are not working, that means Dover is probably pointing to the wrong Greenhouse subdomain.
If this is happening for you, please reach out to your Dover Support team and provide the URL you see when you login to Greenhouse.
Examples include:
❓ I'm seeing job/user options listed on the Dover Onboarding Flow, but I can't find the one I want.
When onboarding a new job through Dover, if the dropdown menus on the ATS Settings page in the Dover app are showing some results but not the one you're looking for, check first to be sure the job is active in Greenhouse. Dover only shows active jobs.
Note that the internal job name (in your Greenhouse) and external job name (shown to candidates in job boards and careers pages) can be different. Please find the internal job name as that's what we'll be displaying in the selector.
