"Easy to use and well organized"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever categorizes department, hiring manager, pay range, and descriptions very well, and it allows for easy use when looking at a business's internal functions

What do you dislike about Lever?

I don't like that when backing out of a specific position, it doesn't return you to the same level in the page you were viewing beforehand

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

Lever is helping develop reports for Protective that show sourcing/hired status. We have previously been without and it will be very helpful to us when they are available

"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?

Being able to track, adding in more features, and help building efficiency in our workflow.

"Great Tool for Interviews"
What do you like best about Lever?

I love how easy it is to see upcoming and past interviews. Very intuitive interface too!

What do you dislike about Lever?

The interface is a bit colorless. Would love to at least one color on the site. No current downsides other than that though!

"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.
