Considered Both Products
Lever
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.
Chose Lever
Lever is more visually intuitive. It is a faster platform since it requires less clicking around to accomplish tasks.
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 …
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
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 …
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 …
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.
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
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 …
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 …
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.
Chose Lever
Lever is a less 'mature' ATS. Also much less expensive. iCIMS is a much more robust ATS.
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.
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 …
Chose Lever
Lever and Recruiterbox are comparable systems. Lever allows for better "interview panels" which must be scheduled individually in Recruiterbox.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

Chose Recruitee by Tellent
There is really no competition for me. One is the idea of what might be good and one is what is functional and easy to use on a day to day basis. Recruitee seems to come from the mind of a recruiter rather than a product manager who thinks they know what a recruiter might want
Chose Recruitee by Tellent
Recruitee has more features than GreenHouse. Recruitee is more updated regarding social media platforms, website designing, integrations and more! Definitely, Recruitee has more to offer than other ATS systems. It seems that they upgrade and always are looking to improve! I …
Chose Recruitee by Tellent
Recruitee is the most straightforward and easy to use recruitment platform I have ever managed. I have managed also taleo which was really complex and several company built platforms that always were either too slow or complex to manage. Recruitee works like a charm, is rarely …
Chose Recruitee by Tellent
Recruitee is more user-friendly and more visually appealing.
Recruiting is an EXCELLENT applicant tracking system
Crelate is better at tracking marketing activities for recruiting firms
Chose Recruitee by Tellent
Many things were determinant for the selection of Recruitee. Among them, the things that stand on top are the easy usability, the possibility of sharing the candidate information in a link, so our final client (or the manager, in the case of a company) can easily access it; the …
Chose Recruitee by Tellent
Recruitee is [a] standalone application and there were no additional licenses required. It worked pretty well with social platform such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and other job boards. Application management, duplicate candidate prevention, and offer extension are good feature[s …

Likelihood to Recommend
Managing pipeline and candidate communication is easy through lever. Keeping it all in one place allows the hiring teams to be in the loop real-time. The reporting is clunky and basic, however, and without a 3rd party tool, sourcing from the lever database is difficult. Also, it is very easy to have duplicate candidates since the alerts Lever gives are often incorrect

Recruitee does an excellent job at making recruitment easy for all. It has several features and customizable ones that complete a 360 platform to guarantee a smooth recruitment process for all. Internally and externally. Using kanban boards has been an eye-opening experience and recruitee has that in a way that is easy for everyone to follow

Cons
  • It would be nice if we were provided a more detailed summary of why our referrals were not selected for a position.
  • The feedback feature that interviewers can give on candidates is great, but it is sometimes hard to find again after completion.
  • If there is a mobile version, better marketing/awareness on this would be helpful.

  • As a third-party Recruiter, I have to continue our paid subscriptions with the job boards in addition to the Recruitee monthly fee. This isn't a fault of Recruitee and certainly isn't a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind.

100% I will continue to use this amazing system! It has helped us a lot!! It has it all, I have used other systems and I haven't been able to get all the features I needed. This system was able to offer it all. I would renew the contract for sure.

Usability
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!
Read full review
It's extremely easy to use and the different features don't require extensive research to understand. The scorecards and evaluations allow the user to be able to view aggregate scores from the whole hiring process and view the top rated candidates to be able to make offers and decisions. The templates are also very helpful

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...

Yes, during the implementation process, I do remember from the sales team to the onboarding team, they were able to help all the way through. They provide quick assistance and you don't feel lost in the process at all

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 we'd be able to scale to the size we'd want to long-term with their product suite. Compared to the others listed here, and many others, I would take Lever every time.

Return on Investment
  • We have an ATS now and did not have one before
  • LinkedIn integration is better than others I've seen
  • Spend too much time researching unhelpful user guides since their support is terrible
  • Lots of frustration with post implementation support
  • Integrations break, tools don't work and settings fail which could lead to other issues

  • Talking about ROI, Recruitee was easy a positive investment (in my point of view), because he was the main platform used in our hiring process (our product).
  • Another positive impact is the possibility of searching candidates, making the overall time of hunting candidates way lower.
  • Since it has its own career page, it had a positive impact in our budget.
