"Great ATS, Very User Friendly"
What do you like best about Lever?

We just implemented Lever but have found it incredibly easy to use. The reporting functionality is awesome. We also had such a great implementation manager (Tom Marino) who really guided us through all the ups and downs of implementing a new product. He really eased the way for us to have a successful transition. It's been super easy to integrate all our functionality (ie assessments, background checks, etc). All in all, we are really excited to be a Lever customer.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I haven't found anything I dislike yet although I am curious to see how some of our assessments come through the system. But other than that, we've been really happy with the product!

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had an ATS that we were using but it really lacked the reporting functionality that we wanted / needed. The reporting capabilities, the ease of use and more is the reason we chose Lever.

"Great and Simple UI"
What do you like best about Lever?

The UI is easy for anyone to pickup and use. It is a one stop shop for all things recruiting and pipeline management. The email templates are absolutely key for sourcing.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The UI is a little too simple and has small bugs that make it hard to navigate and correct

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping everything organized. I work for a startup where we source for multiple roles at a time, each unique in their own way, and Lever really puts everything simply on one platform.

"Lever has saved us!"
What do you like best about Lever?

The platform is super customizable and very easy to use / intuitive. We were using Excel as an ATS prior to Lever, and it has saved us thousands of hours in applicant tracking and candidate scheduling, reviews and communication. Their support team and resources are also fantastic. Can not recommend it enough!

What do you dislike about Lever?

There's maybe some customized reporting capabilities not available in our current tier, but the basic reports have worked just fine for our needs.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have moved away from tracking everything manually which means we can give our candidates a more seamless experience, not to mention the hours of administrative work it has saved our recruiting team!

"Strong product, great implementation team"
What do you like best about Lever?

As a Talent Acquisition Manager implementing Lever our first ever ATS for our organization, I've been very impressed with the intuitive design of Lever. For us, the most powerful aspeects have been its user-friendly interface, extensive customization capabilities, and reporting functionality. Ease of Use Lever's intuitive design has significantly eased the daily tasks of managing our talent acquisition pipeline, especially scheduling. The user-friendly interface has made it straightforward for our team to navigate and collaborate, share notes and feedback across departments, and there's been very minimal internal troubleshooting or the need for extensive training. Customization The ability to customize workflows, interview stages, and job postings within Lever has allowed us to tailor the platform to our unique hiring needs. We have very distinct groups of candidates that we work with, and operate across the United States, and I've been impressed by how the platform can be tailored to the specific needs of our team. Reporting Lever's reporting features have been instrumental in enhancing our data-driven decision-making. The platform provides a range of pre-built reports, and the option to create custom reports has allowed us to analyze key performance indicators specific to our recruitment goals. Real-time reporting keeps us informed about ongoing processes, aiding in identifying areas for improvement and optimizing our overall hiring strategy. As a Talent Acquisition Manager, I highly recommend Lever to any organization seeking a practical and adaptable solution for their recruitment needs.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I think it's going to take a little time to get used to, but the unified pipeline can be a little confusing at first. Navigating between jobs, candidates, and active interview stages can be a little clunky at times.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. A central source of truth for all of our candidates, regardless of location, team, deparment, etc. 2. Data to help us make better decisions around our recruiting strategy and manage performance 3. Process and accountability around offers, opening roles, etc.

"Just pick Lever!"
What do you like best about Lever?

As a HR professional at my current company using Lever is much easier than the other systems (I wont say any names)... and older formatting. In addition, applicants are often turned off when applying for roles hosted on the "other" systems. When I apply for a role, or scope out similar companies for research purposes, the time it takes to apply on Lever is much faster and it's done with a sense of ease. And you can incorporate plugins fairly easy, which make Lever more attractive.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I haven't found any so far, and I've used Lever since January 2022.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lever connect with LinkedIn, we can pull reports and manage candidates much easier.

"Super easy to use and share job postings"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever centralises the whole process of sharing job postings both for employees and the hiring team. Easy to share personalised URLs makes it easy for us to post and share on any social media platform. It reflects all the job postings. As an employee, it makes it easy to follow up on referrals to the hiring team.

What do you dislike about Lever?

URLs could be more personalised - Lever could let us update the last part of the URL to reflect my own personalisation.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides the ability to easily view listings, share listings, follow up & track referral and application stages.

"Lever!"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever is easy to access, it's easy to read job listings whether you're applying as an internal or external candidate. I especially like using its filter function to look through jobs.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Lever feels like it has a lot of customization options that companies can use to populate their portals, so it might not be the easiest thing to integrate if someone isn't used to it.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm not sure - I don't use it from the backend.
