Considered Both Products	Lever Verified User Partner Chose Lever Lever doesn't have quite as many features as Greenhouse, and Greenhouse would probably be a better choice for a large enterprise organization, but for small enterprises and below, Lever will work great, and it's quite a bit less expensive. Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Lever Lever is more visually intuitive. It is a faster platform since it requires less clicking around to accomplish tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Brunwasser Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition + Progression Planning Chose Lever I think Lever stacks up fairly well and is right above the midpoint. iCIMS and Greenhouse provide a larger, more Enterprise style product for huge scale, so I'd put the two of them above Lever at this time, but we chose Lever over Greenhouse for a reason. I just don't know if … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Lever Lever's candidate first view over job requisition view is confusing and often managers are unable to get a real time update of their pipeline, I've found. I'd recommend Greenhouse Incentivized Helpful? TS Tasha Schlake Festel Lead Sourcer Chose Lever Lever is comparable to Greenhouse in its basic recruiting functions. I have found it to be WAY better than Bullhorn (clunky and overly-complicated with a very dated and non-intuitive interface) and Jazz HR (slick and pretty, but limited in its functions). The best ATS I've used … Incentivized Helpful? GO Gustavo Orozco Business Development Representative Chose Lever If your organization is rapidly growing it can be easy to outgrow a platform like Workable. It all really depends on what your company goals and objectives are for the year / near future. Workable is great for small businesses with a few job openings but as your organization … Incentivized Helpful? Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Chose Lever I will be reaching out to Greenhouse to compare, but I am not familiar with the product just that it has a good reputation. UKG (Ulitpro) was worse than Lever when I used it last. Helpful? Luke Ferrel Sr Director of Customer Success - Scale Chose Lever I strongly prefer Greenhouse, but lever will get the job done. Equal cost I go with Greenhouse. If Lever is much cheaper they aren't wildly differentiated Incentivized Helpful? SY Sara Yaseen Special Assistant & Operations Associate Chose Lever Lever is a great option for nonprofit organizations, campaigns, and the like. It is an easy enough system for both the operations team and prospective job candidates to use, facilitate, and navigate with little to no training. It is also a huge time saver when trying to fill … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Account Manager Chose Lever I wasn't part of the evaluation process but it seems like Lever was selected due to its simplicity and ability for employees to easily refer their friends to work here. As mentioned, I wish there was more collaboration involved throughout the hiring process--could be something … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose Lever Lever is one of the best products out there because the customer support is so great. They are super helpful and can help in any way you need. This is what makes it stand out against other products. Incentivized Helpful? HA Hayden Anderson EAE Chose Lever They are not too similar, but are the only two tools I've used. Incentivized Helpful? IL Ian Larkin Controller Chose Lever Simple to use with key points readily accessible. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Lever Lever is a less 'mature' ATS. Also much less expensive. iCIMS is a much more robust ATS. Incentivized Helpful? Hayden Anderson Senior Enterprise Account Development II - Team Lead Chose Lever I think that lever is much more secure and manageable than similar tools, especially when dealing with warm referrals. Lever may not have the outbound/social aspect that other cold-recruitment tools may have, but as I said before I think the quality of hires has increased … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Lever We have used Recruiterbox previously, but the recruitment team decommissioned it due to a few reasons that I am not sure of. However, I can see that lever generally aesthetically is more pleasing to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Lever Lever and Recruiterbox are comparable systems. Lever allows for better "interview panels" which must be scheduled individually in Recruiterbox. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Lever We were using a free version of Breezy before. It was clunky and difficult to use. The time spent trying to navigate the product could be better spent on candidates. I used it for a few weeks while waiting for Lever to get spun up, and the transition from one to the other was … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose Lever It's not worth the trouble. Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Hawes Sales Manager - New Verticals and Mid-Market Chose Lever From an interviewer perspective, both are similar in that they provide easy feedback inputs and organization. Overall I liked Greenhouse better in my previous role because it seemed to have more customization around quantitative evaluation. You could break down more skills with … Incentivized Helpful? Allison Boyce Director Talent Acquisition - Industries, Strategy and Cloud Architecture Chose Lever That's a tall order to ask. It's the latest generation ATS and seemed easier to configure than Greenhouse. SmartRecruiter didn't appear to have the reporting we wanted. In comparison to Taleo and Brassring it is superlative. It is definitely clear that they spoke to actual … Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Wieler Chief Executive Officer Chose Lever I checked different products mainly based on paper. There was a kind of Gartner chart available which described the strength and weaknesses of the systems. I matched my thoughts with this document which brought me to Lever due to the following reasons: 1. Have the potential to … Incentivized Helpful? Ashley (Gay) Graham People Operations Coordinator Chose Lever Lever was certainly more expensive than a beta test for GoogleHire, and about on par with Greenhouse. We ultimately went with Lever over Greenhouse due to its sleek, intuitive UI design. And we chose Lever over GoogleHire beta program because the latter didn't seem to provide … Incentivized Helpful? Sinjin Jones Manager of Recruitment and Retention Chose Lever Lever is easily the most effective ATS that I've used. It blows much of the competition away with respect to how well it integrates with our email system and allows easy collaboration. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Lever I think Lever is great for any sized company, but especially strong for smaller, growing teams. It's a very simple system, but clean, sleek, and very useful in any scenario. They have great support whenever you need it so those with smaller HR or People teams could easily benefit from their help. Can't think of too many scenarios where Lever wouldn't be well-suited, but maybe once you grow to International growth and hiring, it may be better to have a more Enterprise style business, set up for larger scaling.

Pros	Lever Great integration: Keeps a list of Outlook email communication along with LinkedIn and other data sources Is fairly lively, not too much lag between screens even though it is looking through a lot of data. Has excellent reporting on how well each email message is working. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Lever [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. Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review
Usability	Lever It isn't difficult to use for the applicant processing, but [I feel] if you want to pull reports or use their tools, good luck! Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review
Support Rating	Lever What support? - Add a ticket and get links to [I believe] their unhelpful user guide. Add a charge if you want better support - afterward just got those links faster... Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Lever Lever is comparable to Greenhouse in its basic recruiting functions. I have found it to be WAY better than Bullhorn (clunky and overly-complicated with a very dated and non-intuitive interface) and Jazz HR (slick and pretty, but limited in its functions). The best ATS I've used is the proprietary tool at Meta, but alas, that tool is for internal use only Incentivized TS Tasha Schlake Festel Lead Sourcer Read full review
Return on Investment	Lever Lever provides an enormous ROI by getting us in front of the right candidates that are going to make us more money and more successful as an org. I think that both the quality and quantity of new hires has gone up ever since we started using lever and involving the entire org in the process. It also saves us a lot of time because we don't need to send referrals via email, while saving/attaching resumes and such.
