Managing candidates at different stage, offer stage and also at the sourcing piece when candidates come in from different platform like linkedin or gem or hireez

"How easy it is to use Lever"
What do you like best about Lever?

It's very easy to find out the candidates assigned to you for taking interviews. The process to give feedback is also well structured. One of the most likable feature is the ease of adding your referrals and keep track of their application status with a powerful option to generate a referral link so that you don't have to put all of them manually.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There's nothing to dislike as such but one feature that can be added is an option to reject the interview if you are not available at the scheduled time. Currently we have to contact the recruiter to get it changed.

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

The problem Lever is solving is tracking the status of the candidates all at one place. The referees can see the status of their referrals and can even make it easy to refer by generating a unique referral link.

"Great product, excellent customer service"
What do you like best about Lever?

I love the functionality overall but more than anything, I'm endlessly impressed with their customer service. Not only do they help solve my problems quickly, but they are more than willing to teach me what exactly when wrong, how to prevent it, and so on. Lever university and their office hours allow me to level up and serve as the team's Lever expert.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Their search functionality needs work (and some updates are rolling out soon!). Additionally, I wish some aspects where more customizable such as the cover letter submission box. I also wish the quick review function and tagging ability worked better together.

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

Helps us keep track of candidates, create clear and organized interivew processes, helps with data tracking and reports for stakeholders. Also helps us keep a collection of records in terms of comp information, and job descriptions. Communicates well with our HRIS.

"Excellent"
What do you like best about Lever?

It is quite easy to use and all the information is clear and specific about what we want to see, it is also updated in real time. I've never used another app like this so I wouldn't know what it's like

What do you dislike about Lever?

Well, it does not say what day the bonuses would be given, or when a person is not accepted, it only leaves it "archived", but not as a clearer status such as "rejected"

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

It helps me manage the process of the applicants, in addition to knowing their status so one knows clearly and can inform the applicant. If performance has increased, then you can get people and motivate employers

"Convenient precise feedback platform"
What do you like best about Lever?

I like how Lever automatically saved my feedback on each form even after I submit it. I can always go back and alter if need be. The accuracy on both ends is spot on. Lever is definitely my go to platform.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I feel as though Lever can implement an 'additional notes' section on the feedback forms so that we can have the space to write any additional notes that don't pertain to the questions directly.

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

Lever is building a bridge for my company, Sandbox VR's Interview Screeners and higher ups to communicate potential prospects strong suits and shortcomings efficiently and precisely. This makes my life easier.

"Lever Makes Hiring Easy!"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever is a fast, efficient, seamless hiring tool. From sourcing candidates to sending offers, everything is perfect. The interface is awesome, the whole experience is.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There are literally no downsides to Lever. The only thing I regret is having not used it before now. It's absolutely essential to me and my talent acquisition team.

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

Lever helps us to quickly source talent, vet their applications, communicate and schedule interviews, and internally track the candidate progress. It enables everyone from operations to talent acquisition to seamlessly and effortlessly communicate during the entire process and remain on the same page, every step of the way.

"Nice and clean UI"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever is very good at laying out the job post's information. It is very easy to read and digest. The format is also very clean and understanable. All the imformation you need is listed in each post. The hirining manager/recruiter is also listed so you can easily get in touch with them.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I think to make Lever even better is to add highlight pictures of the office or the product that they are working on. I think this will put a nice picture in the person's head for what the company is all about.

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

I think that Lever is solving the issue of over powering of information for the user. This benefits me and the end user, because it makes this process way more plesasant.
