The tool is very user friendly and the team is amazing! Indeed, it helped us centralise all of our candidates in one place. In addition to that, the management of our pipe is way easier and more reliable. We're able to track our activity in a very specific way.
There is nothing to dislike. The implementation went very smoothly and Monika, our Lever advisor, was extremely professional and efficient. She was always helping us customise the tool to meet our requirement.
We are improving our activity by centralising it. We are gaining time via Lever and are able to track every candidate and his evolution in the process.
The product has good work flow and functionalities, it's at a great price point, and the team there are stellar. They are responsive and there are definitely limitations to the product itself, but they make up for it in being concerned and caring about getting product requests in and launching new features that are user friendly.
It can be difficult to do very specific things, like adding stages and the fact that you aren't able to customize stages for each role is an annoyance. There are also difficulties with data migration, but the team really try to make it as painless as possible.
We had no ATS prior to Lever (we were using Workable) and it was extremely difficult to schedule on-sites, gather feedback after interviews, and give guidance to my team and hiring managers. This helps us create processes and collect personalized, timely feedback in a way we hadn't before because we're such a small team.
The team at Lever has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful going above and beyond any other ATS I've used to answer questions and get me well situated to use the great, powerful system.
Nothing comes to mind at the moment as a notable dislike.
Implementing an ATS at a growing startup to help with candidate tracking, automation of manual tasks, and improving the candidate experience and employer branding.
Makes referrals super easy - which is the key to recruiting at scale.
Didn't find the Google extension plug-in useful.
We are always looking to bring on great talent in a competitive labor market - Lever helps the team understand who we know and how to get introduced.
Lever is designed to deal with high hiring demands (perfect for a fas growing startup like ready2order.com is). I experienced a great experience during the sales and implementation process! Totally recommend Lever!
There is no possibility to trigger nurturing campaigns from several networks (e.g. First touchpoint LinkedIn, Second touchpoint e-mail,...)
Accurate reporting, single source of trough in all talent acquisition regards.
The tool is integrated with Office 365 which allows the recruiting team to work in Lever 90% of their day. The email integration is excellent but more importantly the ability to book interviews on Hiring Managers calendars within the tool saves a tremendous amount of time.
I have to nitpick to find something. I would like a little more flexibility with the way some forms are organized. Example: The offer defaults to the candidate signing first then the hiring manager, you have to click a checkbox each time you send an offer for the manager to sign first. This is really nitpicking and I know it is in the future product request queue.
Calendar and email integration, automated reporting with relevant and realtime information. Ease of use for managers, recruiters and candidates.
The user-friendliness of the platform and the customer service.
Not much! My only critique would be that I think Lever should create a mobile app for hiring managers to use, who are on-the-go. The platform can be hard to navigate sometimes if you're accessing it via a cell phone.
We're seeing more applicants and are much more organized with the candidate workflow process. The Lever Nuture feature has also be a tremendous tool which has helped us create a bench of passive candidates.
The implementation was smooth and easy and our specialist was amazing, she really knew the system, inside and out.
There was not anything that I disliked.
Lever has made me love my ATS again!
Lever hire have their own site where candidates can apply there, so even thought our company website hasn't launched yet, we can just still copy and paste and everyone can apply! And the page is custom too, we can add more relevant question to instantly screened the candidates.
I can't change the pipeline by myself! I have to ask their support team, but since there are 13hr difference in our location, my team and I need to wait for approximately 1 day until the changes applied in our lever.
My team and I really love using lever as our recruitment tools! No clutter, simple and easy to use. With the support team and our Implementation Specialist, Rain, we already learned everything in Lever only in 1 month! We can track the progress of our candidates, and how to make them progressing faster. Recommended tools for recruitment.
I really like the intuitive and straight forward UX. It's easy, as you start to use the software, how to add more levels of features to your daily use and even better how my colleagues can interact efficiently without having to know the system inside out. It's a great product!
The interface itself could perhaps be a bit more sexy to look at.
I use Lever to keep all my candidates in one place, external and internal communication is super easy and like their focus on outreach instead of just inbound handling of candidates.
- Clean Interface - Intuitive system - Advanced scheduling and booking tools - easy customization
The agency portal needed some work, but Lever has already begun to implement changes that will correct this.
It took me very little time to come up to speed with Lever and I immediately felt comfortable performing all tasks within the tool. It provides an incredible platform to connect with our hiring managers and as an internal recruiter managing a high volume of positions, the real-time communication capabilities are a game-changer. I'm a big fan.
Lever is intuitive and user friendly. All of the important tools and quality of life features you would want in an ATS are exactly where you would think they are. This makes it very easy to understand and use.
Currently, I have not run into any features I do not like. For any questions I have as far as functionality or usability, the customer service has been exceptional.
We are replacing our old ATS system that was clunky, not user-friendly, and not utilized by our hiring managers because of its difficulties. Lever has solved all of the problems we were having with our old ATS, and we have even received feedback from applicants that have interviewed with us on how simple and user friendly the system is at the consumer level.
Functionality, ease of use, clean interface
Have found a few areas that I personally would like to change (ability to manipulate applications by candidates who are active on multiple jobs, for example) -- but have raised the items with Lever team and they've been super receptive to feedback
Pipeline visibility & data integrity for accurate reporting. We're only 2 weeks in to switching our job board to Lever and I'm already so impressed with the efficiency and accuracy.
I like that Lever imposes a structure on your hiring process. By making your process less configurable, you can get better data on your hiring pipeline and they can present a much simpler interface than other ATSes.
I wish they had a more complete reference check workflow built into the product and I wish they didn't charge more for a Checkr integration.
Lever is my ATS. I would be unable to manage a candidate pipeline without it.
Our implementation went off without a major problem. Otto was very responsive to all questions / issues. Lever itself is extremely easy to implement and use. I would recommend to any firm looking for an applicant tracking system
There are no issues that come to mind at this time
Simplify creation of new requisitions and contact with passive candidates
It is so easy to collaborate with the hiring managers and for me (the head of recruiting) to have line of sight into the pipeline.
I think Easybook is a great first start on scheduling. I'd like to see a more robust iteration of this.
Keeping track of candidates, jobs, and the work of my recruiting team.
I would highly recommend using Lever to any company that is growing and growing quick. It has been an absolute game changer for my recruitment team! The product's workflow and visuals make us process ninjas which allows us to provide our prospective and incoming talent with the absolute best experience!! I can count on my team to be organized with this tool and collaborate seamlessly with hiring managers throughout the org. I don't know where I would be without Lever and I have experience with other ATS tools.
Nothing yet. I have given suggestions to the platform and my implementation specialist submitted those requests instantly. The only thing I could think of is a signature function.
We are solving major organizational problems with Lever. It allows us to create the best experience for talent by having their email, resume, linkedin, notes, feedback, etc all in one central place. Also, the visuals of the tool are unparalleled. They are built for your modern recruiter who really wants to evaluate pipeline health, stage health, etc.
Seamless design. Candidate centric ATS - the automation elements in communicating with candidates, scheduling and also feedback all work together so that in essence you have more time to spend with candidate rather than bogged down by admin tasks.
As an early stage scaleup we did rely on external headhunters, this is not handled very well in Lever if you want your hiring managers to use the ATS themselves. I think there's a couple of US only features - in EU contractors work on day rates for example, something you can't specify in a requisition in Lever. Something as small as US date formatting also makes a difference. I hope Lever will continue to grow and adapt their product to international audience.
Improved candidate experience. Improved feedback capacity and therefore decision making for hiring teams. Monitoring return on investment of recruitment spend.
Lever has solved a lot of problems for us. It's a very collaborative tool that allows hiring managers full visibility into the recruiting and hiring process. The UI and features of the tool are easy to use and we're able to get candidates scheduled and feedback documented so much easier than before which has saved a ton of time for our recruiting team. The integrations are great too (Chrome, Google, Slack)
The agency management feature leaves something to be desired, but from what I understand they are working to improve that
candidate and hiring manager engagement, ease of scheduling, candidate feedback documentation in one central location, easy reporting, Lever Nurture makes it easier to stay in touch with candidates, the list goes on and on.
Flawless UI and design: their product and eng teams really think of everything! Excellent sales and implementation staff, who were always responsive, great listeners, and problem solvers Company focus on diversity and inclusion, which reflects in the product and staff
It's a little pricey for a small business, but they're willing to work with you on this.
Data integrity - when everyone on the team can change or create stages/tags, no one knows what's actually supposed to happen and reports are meaningless. No candidate slips through the cracks - we have people we can always reach out to later, and we can be proactive on our pipelines instead of reactive.
