    It is easy for employees to refer candidates and provide timely update on the various stages of the interview process. The integration between Lever and our company's job posting is also very user-friendly. As an employee, I have used Lever multiple times to refer candidates. By uploading a candidate's resume, many fields, such as candidate's information, links to LinkedIn, are automatically filled with ease. As an individual contributor, I would recommend Lever to any company who needs a referral system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Lever is very easy to use and navigate. If you are trying to refer someone there is a dashboard that clearly outlines who you have referred and what their status is in the application process. It's also great for tracking applications for yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Lever is super useful for me to know about what hiring opportunities exist at my company, for both internal and external purposes. Additionally, whenever I refer a candidate to a role, it's incredibly easy for me to look into updates about the hiring status for that candidate (which I look at frequently).

    Reporting is very very poor. Lack of visibility for Recruiters as they can only see their own open jobs, not their colleagues yet they can see and take ownership of all candidates. Relationship between job postings and Job Requisitions isn't clear enough. Lever has been designed to reduce visibility and speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Terrible customer service. They have a premium service model that costs significant amount but there was zero benefit from it. Hostile negotiating when trying to move systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Lever is an easy to use platform with a fresh look and feel from an admin and candidate perspective. Streamlined integrations with numerous other systems and a sync with our internal communication channels.

    I think the ease of use is great with Lever, able to have hiring manager review / move candidates along while using the reporting aspect of it to showcase your work.Also the integration part is great as it can integrate with various platform like Hired.com, HireEZ, and of course GEM for sourcing.

    Lever is amazing! It's such a step up from our previous applicant tracking system. The flexibility and cutomization options are incredible helpful. Sabrina was super helpful as an implementation specialist.

    Customer service and onboarding is a joke. Basically just scripted answers to get you out of their hair. No personalization at all. Limited capabilities. The product does not integrate properly with Google(email and calendar). There is no dashboard. No metrics on scheduling. No customization to scheduling interviews or the message interviewers and interviewees. Does not integrate with other services well. Everyone at our company complains of how difficult it makes the process.

    1) Complete lack of customer, my problems are not resolved. I literally can not speak to a PERSON. I am forced to live chat and have literally never resolved a problem using this mechanism. I am routinely sent a link to read that I've already read that DOES NOT answer my questions. 2) there are no videos online to watch to self train I have found very valuable with other softwares 3) the training offered by the company was nowhere near effective nor efficient. I love literally every system I have worked with career to date and want to love Lever but the poor / complete lack of customer service has forced me to leave the platform. I DO NOT recommend. Much better systems out there. Even if they don't schedule candidate interviews. I intend to work with another firm to add this feature as its the only "bell + whistle" missing from their current package. And not difficult to add. I am just stunned Lever will not offer a live help center, so disappointing.

    Terrible UI, just shades of grey. The workflow isn't intuitive. Its not customizable at all. You have to get someone in support to change some of the fields in your scorecard.

    We are using Lever as our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). We have also integrated with Checkr to run background and drug screens once the candidate has accepted the offer. Lever begins with an array of possibilities when a candidate first applies. I love the quick review feature where you can quickly move through new applicants/resumes and determine if they should move forward to the manager review or not the right fit for the position. From there you are able to place them into the archives along with the reasoning, "not a good fit", "not the right location", "position has been filled" - these are all set up according to our custom needs, which means if things change, we are also able to change with quick help from Customer Service.

    Lever is our primary recruiting tool and it is used throughout the entire company. We use their UI for job postings and also their internal functionality for looking at candidates, setting up interviews and reviewing candidates. We have it integrated with a few other products as well in order to link test scores for recruitment exercises.

    I came in right as we began to scale up recruitment before we had a recruitment team in place. The first thing I did was request we get Lever. It may have been 6 months early in terms of the breadth of features that we have available compared to our recruitment pipeline; however, the automation, reporting & administration led to us hiring 3 people (+1 intern) in 10 weeks, and I'm confident that wouldn't have happened as quickly (and potentially at all) without Lever.
    Automating scheduling of meetings based on pipeline stage across all team members Automating feedback forms to make sure you get actionable feedback on each interview Pipeline analytics to help identify friction and predict how many candidates you need to make a hire.

    We recently adopted Lever as our new ATS. At the beginning of our ATS search, we went through several demos with other systems, but Lever was the obvious choice for us right from the beginning. Not only did the system offer everything we needed from a new ATS, the customer service at Lever was top notch. [sensitive content hidden] was our Implementation Specialist. In my 14-15+ years, I can hands-down say that I have never received such exceptional customer service and support like I did with [sensitive content hidden]. not only is a Lever subject matter expert, but he is passionate about what he does and it shines through in every conversation. His response time is unmatched. I cannot say enough great things about Lever, and more specifically [sensitive content hidden] . Thanks for such a great product, with great support! I highly recommend Lever to anyone looking for a new ASTS.

    My company is going through an exciting scale-up stage and to support the company with hiring efforts we decided to modernize our recruitment stack. Implementing Lever was very easy across the whole organisation - the implementation specialist - [SENSITIVE CONTENT] - offered top-notch support during the whole implementation journey and the migration of candidate data from our previous ATS went seamless. Since adoption, the hiring team saved lots of time in sourcing and gathering the interview feedbacks, as it allowed us to automate several critical tasks.

    Overall 4/5. There are things that I would change but as I said it does the job. At the end of the day, it is all a question of your usage, your team, the scale of the business, and ofc your budget. Lever is a great solution if you have a small team under 10 recruiters, company size under 1k, and a small budget to operate with. If you know how to run scrappy and get things done, Lever is a solid choice.
