Dodo Brands + Skailer ATS = Perfect Recruitment Match

Highlights

  • 100% confidentiality. Role-based access control hides salary expectations from technical interviewers while keeping full access to candidate history.

  • Rapid implementation. Process migration and career site integration were completed in just 2–3 weeks thanks to proactive implementation support.

  • Intuitive interface. The HR team noted the visual similarity to Notion, which significantly accelerated adoption and comfort with the new system.

About the Company

Dodo Brands is an international technology company that manages several brands, including Dodo Pizza and Drinkit. The company is renowned for its innovative approach to business and the deep digitalization of all its operational processes. Today the Dodo Brands recruiting team consists of 7 recruiters.

The Challenge

Before adopting Skailer, Dodo Brands used another popular applicant tracking system (ATS). Over time, they ran into significant limitations. The primary issue was a lack of flexibility: any change to the recruitment funnel stages or processes risked system-wide failures.

Access rights were a critical problem too. The company involves employees from specialized departments in technical interviews. These experts need to review resumes and previous feedback, but sensitive information, such as salary expectations, must remain confidential. The previous system could not accommodate this without manual data copying, which created unnecessary operational overhead and a high risk of error.

The Solution

The decision to switch was driven by a combination of the Skailer team's openness and the product's inherent flexibility. Key factors included:

  • Flexible role configuration. The ability to hide the “Salary” field for specific process participants while preserving their access to all other candidate information.

  • Custom adaptations. The product team actively helped integrate the ATS with Dodo Brands' existing career site, keeping the applicant journey familiar and seamless.

  • Analytics and filtering. Advanced dashboards for analyzing the rejection funnel and flexible filtering of the candidate database by activity and date.

The Impact

Skailer allowed the Dodo Brands HR team to eliminate communication routine and manual data transfer. The hiring process is now more transparent and manageable, with funnel stages precisely aligned with the company's internal business processes.

The team particularly highlighted the quality of support. Direct contact with the product's top management and developers (CEO, CPO) gave them confidence that any request for system enhancements would be heard and implemented within clear timelines. The visually appealing, intuitive interface made working in the system comfortable, turning the ATS from a mere administrative tool into a fully functional, strategic workspace.

In Their Words

“The flexibility of the settings was critically important for us. Now we can add technical experts to the hiring process without disclosing confidential salary information. This didn't just simplify operations — it made our recruitment process truly professional and secure.”
