How Dopper uses Homerun to build a talent pool of lasting candidate connections.

Managing many applications is easy with Homerun's clear overview

Before Homerun: Email inbox overflowing with candidate applications.

Being such a beloved brand, Dopper receives a lot of open applications from candidates eager to join their mission to eliminate single-use plastic in the world. According to Isabel, "before we used Homerun, the inbox was overflowing with open applications. This made it really difficult to save these open applications for future use. It also wasn't a GDPR-friendly process, so we needed a better solution.”

With Homerun: An organized talent pool of applicants.

Now, Dopper has a permanent "open application" job post on their Homerun career page. When new candidates apply, they get an automatic response, letting them know they'll be contacted if the right position opens up. "This way, we manage expectations and ensure every candidate gets a reply. Plus, we’re able to fill open roles from this talent pool of open applications,” says Isabel. “In Homerun, we tag each candidate, so when a new job opens, we can easily find candidates who could be a fit. We've been able to hire team members and fill roles this way.”

Tools to build and maintain valuable relationships with candidates

Dopper uses Homerun to build and nurture authentic connections with candidates. "We often get repeat candidates, and it's invaluable to be able to look back at their previous job application and remember their qualities and reasons for moving forward or not,” says Isabel. “This information is stored in candidate notes in Homerun. It allows us to give them a personalized experience, which candidates always really appreciate."

Hiring is a shared responsibility for the whole Dopper team

Homerun has truly made hiring a team sport for Isabel and the rest of the Dopper team. "Without Homerun, our recruitment process would be chaotic, especially because we hire as a team," says Isabel. Dopper includes two to three people per new job opening and Isabel oversees the process but shares responsibility with hiring managers. "You don't need to be an HR pro or even a Homerun pro to use Homerun. It's so easy that anyone on the team can create a job post or find what they need in the candidate overview."
