"Love Lever; it's a must have for hiring!"
What do you like best about Lever?

Love how easy it is to share feedback with other teammates + leaders. No need to learn how to use it - anyone can immediately find value in using Lever. Never had any issues with the product so haven't reached out to their support team. Easy implementation! I use it frequently to type feedback about candidates.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Nothing, I love it! It's an absolute must have if you are hiring.

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

Lever makes recruiting such an efficient process. It gives quick visibility into feedback from multiple people to collaborate and communicate more quickly. With hiring, you have to be efficient. Lever is a product must-have for anyone looking to build and scale a team. It eliminates a lot of manual processes and saves me tons of time!

"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.

"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.

"Best ATS I've used thus far!"
What do you like best about Lever?

What's not to like - extremely user-friendly, all the need features or even future release of new features, and great responsive customer support.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Only small - I would like to be able to edit users' information myself but at the same time I understand why I can't. I also wish I could attach feedback forms without needing to schedule in the system.

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

"Easy & Clear Referral System"
What do you like best about Lever?

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.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I would like to better understand the meaning of different terms used in the interview stages. Sometimes it's not always self-explanatory to an individual contributor or someone who is not part of the HR department.

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

Visibility on various of interview stages. It provides a quick update between HR and the user (referer), so we don't have to reach out to HR ourselves, and can better assist our friends/ex-colleagues who are being referred.

"Seamless Talent Tracker"
What do you like best about Lever?

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.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There are a few things I would change and the biggest one would be connecting our google accounts to Lever so that when you click on a recruiter's name, it provides you with a box to send them an email directly via google instead of pulling up your computer email system. Additionally, I wish there was a function to see attachments on past applications.

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

Lever is the tool we use for tracking our applicants and referrals company-wide. This is the easiest way as an employee to refer friends and family and actually provide them withh helpful feedback on their application status.

"Lever makes interviews a snap"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever makes interviewing candidates simple. Their resume, along with information about their experience and skills, are easily accessible for use before and during the interview. Candidate feedback is then a simple process, managed by lever. Additionally, Lever reminds me (via email) when I have an upcomming interview.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I can't think of any downsides at the moment.

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

Streamlining the interviewing process and making it simple for me to meet with candidates and give feedback on them. This is not my main job, so Lever helps minimize the amount of time I spend on these activities!

"Lever is a fantastic ATS and implementation was very easy!"
What do you like best about Lever?

There are so many things we like about Lever! There are several useful features that have made our TA team's life easier and have elimintated a lot of our manual tasks. We love the interviewing scheduling capabilities and its many accompanying features as well as the robust automation functionalities. The automation possibilities are nearly endless and have created effeciencies throughout our recruitment process.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There are very few things we dislike since switching to Lever. If I had to chose, it would only chosing 1 location per posting but thankfully this limitation will be solved in the next feature release.

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

Lever's robust interview feedback capabilities allows us to house all of our feedback in one platform, which makes day to day candidate management a breeze and will allow us to easily pull up historical information if candidates reapply in the future. Lever also has several functionalities that remove a lot of the admin work that our TA team was doing manually (eg. manually creating digital interview folders, sharing the meeting link with candidates etc), adding interview plans and more.
