Greenhouse vs. Dover: What's the Difference?
Choosing an applicant tracking system is an important decision for growing companies. You want something that can scale with your hiring needs and has powerful features. But you also need something that fits a startup budget. Fortunately, there are some great options on the market.
Two popular ATS options are Greenhouse and Dover. Both are good ATS solutions, but which is right for your company? In this article, we’ll compare the two and help you decide which fits your needs.
A Brief Overview & Comparison
Dover and Greenhouse both include features you’d expect your ATS to have. You can use both platforms to track applicants throughout the hiring process. You can also use them to generate job posts, post on job boards, collaborate with other hiring stakeholders and more. But there are some differences, too.
The first big difference between the two is price. Dover is free, while Greenhouse has a variable pricing model based on company size and the features you need. Greenhouse is also a more complex platform with a CRM, sourcing, scheduling, onboarding features and advanced analytics.
Dover is a platform that focuses on ease of use, so startups can have an out-of-the-box solution that can help them improve hiring processes in minutes. If you prefer something highly customizable for higher-volume hiring, Greenhouse might be the right choice. If you want something user-friendly and affordable, Dover is the better option.
