We ask our customers to provide us with access to their calendars so that Dover can create interview events on their designated calendars.

When connecting your calendar, you will be prompted to give Dover access to your calendar. Please make sure that you select all of the boxes when you are submitting your authorization.

Dover uses the Google Calendar API to read events from your calendar, and we ask for the most minimal set of Google permissions we can. Google does not currently allow narrower permissions. The Dover integration only reads your availability so we don’t schedule over any meetings you have on your calendar. It only creates or modifies events for candidates that we are scheduling, and it does not delete any events. Dover has been audited thoroughly by Google, and we are secure and compliant!
