FAQ:

❓ What happens if ‘Find Email’ doesn’t find an email and I don’t have the candidate's email?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to source the candidate. Please reach out via LinkedIn or other means. Copilot will let the user know if an email address is available.

❓ If a candidate appears to be already sourced or is in our ATS, can you source them again?

No you cannot. If a candidate has already been emailed and contacted, you can view them in Candidates.

❓ What if candidate outreach failed?

Dover was unable to successfully reach out to this candidate at this time. Please reach out via LinkedIn or other means.

❓ Where does the candidate go after outreach has been sent?

Once you’ve sourced the candidate using the extension, Dover will email the candidate to see if they are interested. They will appear in the Candidates tab under Contacted

❓ How come ‘find email’ doesn’t let me see the full email?

Due to privacy concerns, we may display someone's full email via LinkedIn.

❓ Can you share more about the extension's security settings? Is the extension able to read data other than LinkedIn profiles?

Dover's Sourcing Extension is only active on LinkedIn pages. It does not have the ability to read data on other websites, nor can it see any other websites you're visiting. The data read by the extension is the LinkedIn profile page URL. We use that for email finding and for sourcing the candidate if you choose to reach out to them. If you're using the Extension to generate outreach content, the extension only reads the downloaded resume and not any of your other downloaded files.

Our philosophy is to use and collect the minimum amount of information to enhance your recruiting experience. We never share this data or use it outside the context of supporting you in making a hire!
