A Dover alternative for startups
If the blocker is that nobody has time to drive the tool, the tool is not the answer.
Recruiting software assumes a recruiter
- A pipeline nobody moves.
- Sourcing you still do yourself.
- Another login for interviewers.
- Tools bought and abandoned.
An ATS with sourcing built in is a good purchase when somebody owns hiring. It saves them tabs, keeps the pipeline honest and makes the weekly review possible. The whole design assumes a person at the wheel.
At most startups, that person does not exist. Hiring is the founder's fourth job, done at 11pm. A better pipeline view does not help, because the pipeline was never the bottleneck. Writing to two hundred people properly was.
This is why teams churn off recruiting tools they liked: nothing was wrong with the software, there was just nobody to operate it.
What to look for instead
Buy the work, not the workspace
The agent does the sourcing, the writing, the screening and the scheduling. What you review is candidates and decisions, not a board.
Keep your ATS
Candidates and stages sync both ways with Ashby, Greenhouse and the rest. Nobody on your team adopts a second system.
Approve from Slack
Approve or pass on a candidate, edit an email before it sends, answer the one question the agent could not. All from the channel you are already in.
It runs when you are not looking
Sources read overnight, replies answered the same day, interviews booked and chased without a human in the loop.

Questions.
Answered.
No. Keep it. Superposition syncs candidates and stages in both directions and your interviewers never see a new tool.
Yes. Most in-house recruiters hand the agent sourcing, first-touch outreach and scheduling, and spend their own time on candidates and hiring managers.
No. Pricing is a flat monthly fee per agent plus a success fee on a hire, so there is nothing to adopt for free first.
A 30-minute intake, then roughly ten minutes a day approving candidates and answering escalations, less if you run it on full auto.
Superposition vs Dover
One gives you a recruiting system to operate. The other operates it for you.
A Paraform alternative for startups
If you like the idea but not the handoff, this is the other shape of the same job.
Superposition for Founders
You should be building your company, not sifting through resumes.
Buy the search, not the software.
Tell us the role. The agent runs it and your ATS keeps the record.
