Case Study: Prelay hires an engineering candidate in two months with Dover

Prelay Got their Eng hire in just two months

Prelay, a YC-backed pre-seed software startup in San Francisco, needed help hiring an engineer without spending too much time on sourcing. The team was losing bandwidth to recruiting logistics and wanted a better way to keep the candidate experience strong while focusing on pitching the company to prospective hires. They turned to Dover for sourcing support.

Dover took over the tedious sourcing work and helped Prelay build a stronger pipeline of candidates, while keeping updates organized in Slack. This let the founder spend more time selling candidates on Prelay’s mission and refining their hiring criteria through more conversations. The result: Prelay spoke with 50 interested candidates in 72 days, moved 29 to next-round interviews, and ultimately signed their ideal engineering hire in just two months.
