"Great and Simple UI"
What do you like best about Lever?

The UI is easy for anyone to pickup and use. It is a one stop shop for all things recruiting and pipeline management. The email templates are absolutely key for sourcing.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The UI is a little too simple and has small bugs that make it hard to navigate and correct

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

Keeping everything organized. I work for a startup where we source for multiple roles at a time, each unique in their own way, and Lever really puts everything simply on one platform.

"Best ATS I've Used!"
What do you like best about Lever?

The interface is the best I've used. It's easy to keep pipelines organized, move candidates through different stages, and keep everyone in the hiring process updated on next steps.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There is not a good way to pause a candidate's progress, especially when a job goes on hold or will be delayed but you're still sourcing candidates.

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

Lever allows a central place to receive and manage all candidates for a role and make sure all information is easily accesible. You're able to track when contact has been attempted or made, complete feedback during every round of interview, and go through the offer process.

"Lever has saved us!"
What do you like best about Lever?

The platform is super customizable and very easy to use / intuitive. We were using Excel as an ATS prior to Lever, and it has saved us thousands of hours in applicant tracking and candidate scheduling, reviews and communication. Their support team and resources are also fantastic. Can not recommend it enough!

What do you dislike about Lever?

There's maybe some customized reporting capabilities not available in our current tier, but the basic reports have worked just fine for our needs.

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

We have moved away from tracking everything manually which means we can give our candidates a more seamless experience, not to mention the hours of administrative work it has saved our recruiting team!

"Powerful and efficient ATS and candidate relationship management tool."
What do you like best about Lever?

Ease of use: it is streamlined for the recruiter experience and has so many built-in intelligent features like EasyBook to make it easy for candidates to book time in your calendar, logical progression for each recruitment stage that can trigger a follow-up action i.e. moving a candidate to First Interview will trigger an EasyBook email or moving a candidate to Background Check will trigger an request for info etc. Most importantly, I like how Lever makes it easy to integrate seamlessly with other sourcing and engagement tools to provide a very powerful and efficient workflow from sourcing to outreach to candidate engagement. A few examples are Greyscale for texting candidates, Chrome extensions to easily import resumes, 3rd party sourcing tools that automatically export candidates to Lever AND also search for duplicates.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Not much to dislike, but if I had to nitpick, I wish the Offer Approval chains could be changed dynamically vs. having to go into Settings and create a unique approval chain for every single offer. Once an offer is launched, it cannot be dynamically modified without retracting it and initiating a brand-new one.

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

Lever is solving the problems of candidate management, relationship management, offer approval, vendor/agency management and recruitment metrics/reporting. Lever has streamlined our recruitment lifecycle and made it much more intuitive and efficient for our recruiters and coordinators to source, engage and close-out candidates.

"Strong product, great implementation team"
What do you like best about Lever?

As a Talent Acquisition Manager implementing Lever our first ever ATS for our organization, I've been very impressed with the intuitive design of Lever. For us, the most powerful aspeects have been its user-friendly interface, extensive customization capabilities, and reporting functionality. Ease of Use Lever's intuitive design has significantly eased the daily tasks of managing our talent acquisition pipeline, especially scheduling. The user-friendly interface has made it straightforward for our team to navigate and collaborate, share notes and feedback across departments, and there's been very minimal internal troubleshooting or the need for extensive training. Customization The ability to customize workflows, interview stages, and job postings within Lever has allowed us to tailor the platform to our unique hiring needs. We have very distinct groups of candidates that we work with, and operate across the United States, and I've been impressed by how the platform can be tailored to the specific needs of our team. Reporting Lever's reporting features have been instrumental in enhancing our data-driven decision-making. The platform provides a range of pre-built reports, and the option to create custom reports has allowed us to analyze key performance indicators specific to our recruitment goals. Real-time reporting keeps us informed about ongoing processes, aiding in identifying areas for improvement and optimizing our overall hiring strategy. As a Talent Acquisition Manager, I highly recommend Lever to any organization seeking a practical and adaptable solution for their recruitment needs.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I think it's going to take a little time to get used to, but the unified pipeline can be a little confusing at first. Navigating between jobs, candidates, and active interview stages can be a little clunky at times.

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

1. A central source of truth for all of our candidates, regardless of location, team, deparment, etc. 2. Data to help us make better decisions around our recruiting strategy and manage performance 3. Process and accountability around offers, opening roles, etc.
