Attribute Ratings
Reviews
(1-16 of 16)- Funnels candidates from start to finish of the process
- Allows for scheduling interview with candidates
- Their scheduling tool is super rigid and doesn't support multiple interviewers very well
- The product requires quite a bit of setup before it becomes as efficient as you'd like
- Scrape candidates from LinkedIn Recruiter directly into Lever.
- Scheduling candidates for the various steps in their interview process is easy .
- Creating scorecards for interviewers to use keeps the momentum going in the interview process.
- Moving candidates through the various pipeline stages is simple.
- Support. It's a hit or miss and when you're a new customer, this is unacceptable.
- They need a task reminder feature native to Lever. This doesn't currently exist, and we have to use a third-party tool.
Series A Startup Scales Early On With Lever
- The pipeline view for tracking our applicants is awesome - something that Greenhouse and others could work on a bit.
- Reporting is strong - easy to create dashboards and ongoing reports to be sent out directly to stakeholders. Helps save a lot of time and create a data driven environment.
- Onboarding and Customer Support - always the best and quickest replies. Onboarding was a breeze, they were super organized and on top of every single detail. Got us started on the right path and it was easy from there on our own!
- Emails - being able to add a Signature would be massive. Not sure if that is something that has been added since we stopped using Lever (we got acquired by DoorDash, so we now use Greenhouse through their systems), but that was the reason I didn't send emails directly through Lever often at all - doesn't look professional without the signature.
- Resume parsing - sometimes, it would take the incorrect info for the email or phone number, or just not pull anything at all when the info is clearly on the resume. So maybe working on how and what gets pulled from emails on applications, would be great.
- The look and design of the standard career page is a bit bland. Totally understand branding it as Lever, but options to adjust or do more with it would be fun!
Lever lives up!
- Reminders to contact candidates who have not been contacted.
- Ease of setting interview schedules and feedback forms within the system.
- Reminders to complete interview feedback forms after the interview.
- We have a couple of unique needs as far as job postings - it would be helpful to either eliminate the location or be able to use "multiple locations" as a default, but Lever has not been able to refine that for us yet.
- We have not actually been using the feature of generating the offer letter yet, again because we have some unique needs and we haven't had "buy in" from all management yet. We are still sending an individualized offer letter to every candidate.
Applicant Software for your growing business
- Integrations with other systems
- Reporting
- Ease of use for all departments
- Conversation threads do not appear in Lever
- Reporting can be difficult to understand at first
- Doesn't have direct integration with Indeed and Zip Recruiter
Easy to use ATS for fast growing companies
Since we're actively hiring new folks Lever helps organize the open positions and applications, keep track of interviews and their statuses, manage referrals and more. From an employee perspective, Lever helps me refer anyone I know who might a best fit for a position and also keep track of their progress through several stages of interviews.
- Easy to use
- Great support for implementation
- Everyone on interview process have access
- Different levels of access
- Could have better LinkedIn integration
- Lack of dedicated manager dashboard
- Reporting can be improved
Since Lever is easy to setup and has great implementation support, it adds to the fact that smaller companies can take advantage of this.
- Job posting page integrates with website
- Email candidates directly to set up phone screens with EasyBook Links
- Schedules interviews in the platform
- [In my experience,] terrible customer support - pay more to get less...
- Integrations are spotty and can break without reason
- Lever has so much potential, but their Roadmap is lacking in ways that will really help customers succeed
- Focuses on the number of candidates and not the company's need to build talent in a cost effective, data driven and collaborative way
- Overpromised and underdelivered in [the] capability of the tool. [I believe that you should] not trust your sales team.
Lever is ideal for nonprofits
- Lever keeps gives its users frequent job reports (i.e. number of applicants, etc.).
- Lever ensures that all prospectives candidates are in one place.
- Lever keeps track of the amount of time that has elapsed from submitting the application to the interview.
- Lever reminds its users consistently on new functions and features.
- Customer support could be better. I once asked Lever to export over a thousand resumes into our system and they were slow to respond.
- In lieu of real time support, Lever should have a FAQ page with webinars and videos.
- Lever can have a better ATS dashboard to glean top line information quickly.
- Scheduling management is a breeze.
- 3rd party integrations are well-designed.
- UI is snappy and responsive.
- As others have mentioned, the single sign on feature does not play well with API access.
- UI can be a bit busy.
- Price point not worth it for us.
Great product with excellent customer support
- Intuitive system.
- Data export.
- Access levels.
- Integrations.
- Templates.
One stop recruitment management tool
- A lot of integrations with various tools, e.g., Slack, google suite, LinkedIn
- form customizations
- Auditing, e.g., see the history who has accessed the profile
- History or revision
Lever
- Easy to use
- Integrated system
- Price point for use
Overall positive experience with Lever
- Integration with 3rd party tools (e.g. Hackerrank, LinkedIn).
- UI for seeing candidates and providing feedback.
- A bit crowded to view threads of conversation/comments on candidates.
- Font and layout could be updated/modernized.
Good at what it does, buy struggles in some areas.
- Keeps candidates information and interview notes organized
- The interface is pretty simple to navigate
- Provides a public facing page to list all of your available job postings
- Product offering levels seems to be mismatched. You can get single sign on, but API access is separate. Turning on SSO will break the API.
- The integration into G Suite for mail and calendar when using subdomains and SSO.
- Doesn't support the use of multiple sub domains very well. We ended up accidentally duplicated every user account and then temporarily lost all candidate notes and feedback.
Switch to Lever: When Greenhouse starts charging extra for a new CRM function (that should be free!)
Times zones are all messed up - we lost candidates because of platform issues.
I went in being hopeful and super optimistic. After 4 months of using Lever, we had to go back to our ATS provider. Such a waste of time and money.
- Nurture - works
- Integrations
- Not easy to customize
- Job board view is a bit redundant/confusing - departments and team view organization is not clean
- Easybook links not compatible with google hangouts
- Timezone issues during scheduling
- Really bad customer support
Lever is a future oriented ATS System
- Simple to learn user interface - It is easy to learn Lever very quickly. It has a modern user interface, is straight forward and is fully cloud based. Means everyone has access to the system which underlines modern working flexibility.
- Professional Workflow and simple in adapting companies' requirements - There are possibilities to generate email templates, feedback forms, and other templates to be much quicker in terms of reacting to candidate's communication. It helps to set up a structured workflow so that candidates flow to the next stage by defining simple events. In addition, Microsoft and Google email systems and integrations are properly available now.
- Very good and quick support - To use the integration service from Lever is really helpful and great. Every company gets a supporter who sets up the requirements with the customer. I personally appreciated the support very much because it was very kind, quick and helpful.
- Additional tools for searching, social network integration and structured interviewing - These are additional resources which are available in the full version package which could be good but at a much higher price point.
- Price structure and available tools - As already mention in the PROS section there are a lot of tools available but at a very high price point and only in total or not. There should be more flexibility by having some choices for some additional money.
- In general less problems - There are some spaces for improvements but these are no critical ones. Major point is the possibility to jump between the separate resources. Sometimes you have to close first before you can select the next option.
- Presentation Layer of existing information - Sometimes the way existing information is presented could be optimized and should be more and better window oriented (window size is more or less fix).
