"All-in-one way to review candidates"
What do you like best about Lever?

I appreciate the ability to see resumes as a sidebar or a PDF download, as well as the ability to add/see interview questions alongside the candidate's resume. I also like that the candidate's profile and my comments about them "live" within Level for me to reflect on later or when a new opportunity comes up.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I would like a place to rate/rank candidates with a simple criteria (star rating, scale of one to to ten, etc.) for quick reference. Currently, you have to open each profile and review the responses entered.

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

I need to see candidate profiles, ensure that I am asking them the same questions, and see a bit about themselves (resume, LinkedIn, company history if an internal candidate ) within one singular solution.

"The Lever Experience to a new leader"
What do you like best about Lever?

I am a newly promoted leader in our organization and I appreciate how Lever offers a simple, yet complete referral and recruitment system. I didn't need help in navigating and using the system as everything is self-explanatory and all FAQs and How To's are available online!

What do you dislike about Lever?

The only time I got confused was when I was editing a feedback draft for an applicant I recently reviewed. I left the page for a while and it took me a long time to find my drafts. A tab for drafts or a prompt to continue editing would be helpful.

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

I am able to view not only my interviewees but also my referrals in a single platform with just a switchch of a tab. There's no need to use a different platform/integration on these two important features.

The best part of Lever is the amount of customization of available to properly organize all of our applicants. Truly helpful in streamling our application process.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There are times where Lever will need to be refreshed due to some slow activity. However, if there are any issues, the support team is very apt.

"A great tool to manage candidates"
What do you like best about Lever?

The best thing is the easiness to access the candidate CV and how easy it is to provide feedback after. I really like the email reminders automatically sent because it makes me aware of the time I have available to prepare and after to provide feedback!

What do you dislike about Lever?

Maybe could be a configuration option but I find not a lot of hire options available. The preview of the cv is incredible but it's hard to download and keep it offline

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

It organizes the candidates so well that it's really easy to stay organized and keep everything up to date and available to everyone. I already said but I really love the email reminders as well
