✨ Whether you want to reach out to a candidate you found on LinkedIn or set up an interview with a candidate whom you've already spoken to, Dover's Add Candidate feature can help you! ✨

Dover's Add Candidate feature allows you to add candidates to your outreach campaign or add candidates whom you've engaged with directly into the Dover pipeline. Once added to Dover, these candidates will be moved through the pipeline like any other candidate.

I've already reached out to a candidate. Can I add them directly into the Dover pipeline?

Yes! Please follow the steps below.

1️⃣ Click +Add Candidate next to the Dover logo in the menu

2️⃣ Select Interview Pipeline at the top of the menu

3️⃣ Select the job and pipeline stage

🔁 If you've integrated your Greenhouse or Lever with Dover: select Import from Greenhouse/Lever if you'd like to sync the candidate from your ATS, then provide the candidate's ATS URL and select Sync.


💡 The candidate's job in your ATS will be preselected, and you will be able to choose what pipeline stage you want the candidate in. If you'd like to move the candidate to another job, please move them in your ATS first before adding them to Dover!
