"3rd time Lever user!"
What do you like best about Lever?

I really like the ease of use not just on the talent aquisition side, but for our hiring teams. Seamless communication between us and candidates, transparency into stages and communication, automation, and more. I love Lever and this is the 3rd company I've used it (2nd time implementing it). Their customer support is also very helpful and quick to respond and works diligently to resolve any issues. We've also been able to integrate with our HRIS and other tools very easily. Ferno on the implementation side was absolutely phenomenal! The tracker the team uses to help keep us aligned on the steps and associating it with help articles is the best I've seen.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I think "dislike" is a strong word to describe anything about Lever. But there are areas of opportunity and their team is very open to feedback! One example of an area for opportunity is the ability to drag and drop during scheduling, as well as schedule one candidate over multiple days in one window (like one panel, but split up due to availability). I just watched their winter release webinar and really excited about some of the upcoming updates!

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

Before making the move to Lever, we ran into a lot of issues with our previous system (Greenhouse). We were not able to easily navigate candidate profiles, customize interview forms, and there were so many clicks to get to different parts of a profile. Scheduling was also a challenge, and if an interview needed to be rescheduled we had to delete the interview ands start over instead of just rescheduling it. Lever solves all of these issues and more!

"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.

"Lever stands out as the most recruiter friendly tool on the market."
What do you like best about Lever?

The implementation was great. We had a very clear plan, direction and the weekly meetings were a bright spot in our weeks. The system was easy to use, customize and impelment!

What do you dislike about Lever?

It's more on our end - our security team is very small and they weren't able to grant clearance to utilize Lever with the sync functionality. Being limited in this way limits our level of efficiency of use within the system.

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

Candidate experience - we're able to reply to candidate interest in a more timely manner. The application process is now streamlined and our host career site is much cleaner. Recruiter experience - we can save time by utilizing our job posting and candidate templates. We can leverage utilizing multiple locations on job postings. Being able to duplicate job postings is a huge efficiency add. Having the opening and closing statements for postings is also a win. As for sifting through applicant traffic, the archive + email functionality (especially the delay email!) is huge in staying on top of all applicants that apply.
