"Simple but efficient Software"
What do you like best about Lever?

It's Very Classic In terms of UI, and functionality is very easy to understand for any new User, which makes it easy to get work done without any hassle. And it is quite fast, bug-free software.

What do you dislike about Lever?

However, If there are more Interactive Features for the Candidates we have referred, timely updated Data will Help. And more colors can be used for better understanding as there are fewer colors rightnow.

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

For referring the candidate for the company and to get updates on the progress of the selection procedure is going on. And for applying for new vacancies available both External and Internal.

"Lever - A better experience"
What do you like best about Lever?

It's so convenient to be able to track my referrals and actually see the progress they have made. It brings peace of mind knowing they are being helped and my efforts are not wasted.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Honestly, after learning the motions there are no downsides that I can see.

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

I lost out on a lot of referral bonuses before my company switched to lever because it's so difficult to track them. I now can see their progress in real-time and know they are being helped.

"Facilitates hiring process"
What do you like best about Lever?

It is easy to use and integrates perfectly the recruitment process to engage non HR employees. It makes it easy to add employee recommendations and review a technical interview.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The grading for the technical review could have more options. (e.g something between Hire/No Hire -> somthing like "Hire If") Too many reminder emails to complete feedback for candidate.

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

Recommandations and Technical interview review.

"It has several sections that are easy to navigate."
What do you like best about Lever?

I can always go back to review interview results besides the availability of CVs that can always be used for reference and referrals etc.

What do you dislike about Lever?

If I get a person whom I never interviewed in my team, accessing either the interview results or CV is not seamless, but there is a need to get it from the interviewers who sometime might have left the organization.

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

Ease of interviewing candidates with ease of review with customized questions. The answers can be recorded just like a practical exam.

"LEVER FAN, at Snowplow.io"
What do you like best about Lever?

We've used Lever extensively at Snowplow for managing applications for roles and tracking candidates through the hiring process. The interface is simple and easy to use, features are intuitive and easy to configure, and it provides a comprehensive end-to-end platform that works well for all stakeholders involved in the multiple hiring stages. As a hiring manager, I've been happy to use Lever to manage all applications through to hiring and working with our fab Talent Acquisition team to process. I am pleased to use and recommend Lever.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The one thing that niggled me was there was that the workflow to review a large list of initial applicants required us to add a Yes/No screening outcome via Tag - which our Talent team would then administer through to the next stages or send a rejection note. There was no way to make this process more efficient as the REVIEW process is intended for a single administrator - where you can *Advance/ Archive/ Add note* - which does not work for a multiple-touch process! Ideally, you should be able to add tags as part of the quick review process! 🙏

"Overall positive experience"
What do you like best about Lever?

- The search functionality is great! I can always reliably search for a candidate given the names. - Detecting that a candidate had applied before is awesome. - The email template and syncing features are helpful. - The filters (e.g., by owners, origin, etc.) work smoothly.

What do you dislike about Lever?

- Merging candidate profiles is sometimes a little confusing. - Managing candidates with multiple opportunities (e.g., archiving some but not all opportunities or transferring one opportunity to another) is a bit difficult to use sometimes. - The warning message for removing a candidate opportunity (but not the whole profile) seemed like it would remove the whole profile, so it overly scared me.

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

I've been using Lever to track applicants, and it's been really helpful to have a central place, as I collaborate with other coworkers.

"User friendly tool"
What do you like best about Lever?

Very straightforward to use. Doesnt have a lot of sections to look at to get lost.

What do you dislike about Lever?

When accidentally selecting an option for an optional section for scoring in an interview, you can't deselect it anymore. Maybe adding a remove answer option?

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

Easy to monitor an applicant's status and they show complete information we need to know especially when its time for the interview.

"Lever is getting better with time as a good wine"
What do you like best about Lever?

It integrates with several sourcing/ recruiting tools that we utilize, specifically LinkedIn Recruiter and Gem. I also like the ease of adding manually or uploading candidate profiles. We also did integration with DocuSign for signing offers and NDAs and it went pretty smoothly.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I'd like to see a more robust search functionality. So far it is tags and some amount of Boolean but not as well designed as other tools that I am used to.

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

Lever allows a seamless interviewing process from the initial contact to Recruiter Screen to interviews by the Hiring Manager/ Team Members. It also aggregates the feedback and made reviewing and decision making more comprehensive and timely.

"Seamless recruiting experience"
What do you like best about Lever?

Iam impressed with the way the candidate profile/ interview outcomes are recorded and integrated with recruitment process. No other tool gives this feel & experience.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Couple of feedbacks:(a) Enhance the tool by providing visibility to the stakeholders on the next hops (until offer rollout) after submission of feedback of selected candidates. Currently, once the candidate is marked selected, one does not know where and with whom the profile is pending and for what reasons. (b) If there are alarming red flags recorded on lever, there should be a mechanism in place to alert the recruiter and the interviewer if the same candidate is proposed for other positions. This way, the interviewer could convey any bothering messages/notes to the concerned individuals in the process in an attempt to save everyone's time and effort.

"All in one stop shop for hiring!"
What do you like best about Lever?

I love the ease of use from Lever. Where all I need in order to find candidates, interview candidates, and give feedback to the hiring process is made easy through Lever. I love the integration through Microsoft Outlook that makes it easy to schedule interviews.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The only downside I've come across using Lever is that it can sometimes glitch out when I'm trying to schedule interviews, where it won't add the interview to my outlook calendar. Otherwise, everything else works out great!

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

Lever has given me my time back when it comes to the hiring process. I no longer have a large stack of resume's to shift through, and scheduling interviews with ease. Everything is in a one-stop shop that really helps keep me organized!

"Great tool, with east of access in mind."
What do you like best about Lever?

I am on the payroll side of the business. I enjoy being able to log into Lever and quickly be able to determine offer letters, hiring status, and referral names. This is much better than doing things by email which we had been doing before we went with Lever.

What do you dislike about Lever?

While there isn't anything specific that I could point out about level that I dislike, I do with there was some sort of integration that we were participating in that pushed offer letter into ADP for a better complete HRIS system experience.

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

I am able to see offer letters and hiring statuses quickly. This saves me time by not having to reach out to our recruiting team, which in turn also saves them time as well.
