Today I’m writing with sad news, as we had to conduct a layoff and part ways with a number of our employees. Each of these individuals has been instrumental in building Dover into the company we are today, and they’re all talented, motivated, and excellent people that I’d work with again. Because we’re in the recruiting industry ourselves, we know how challenging this process is, and we wanted to be extra transparent about why we made the decision and how we communicated it to the company and the affected individuals (see below).
Q1 was a record quarter for Dover— we grew more than we ever had, both in dollars and percentage terms. We hired with the expectation that we could maintain that growth curve, and if not for the recent market downturn and hiring freezes, I think we could have. Unfortunately, we, like everyone, are not immune to the conditions in the world.
