Lever is an applicant tracking and recruiting software solution.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/WZ/xz/NPCXHGJTQ7IP.pngLeverLever is our key to success in recruitment~2019-06-25T16:46:42.441ZLever is being used by our HR and Recruiting specialists to get the entire organization involved in the recruiting and hiring process at Lucidchart. It increases the amount of qualified employees applying to positions and therefore increasing overall company growth in a healthy and exciting way. The tool is being used by almost everyone at our company.,Lever is amazing at making the referral process easy and fast for internal employees.
They provide an easy way to track the progress of our referrals and also provide feedback when necessary.
Lever is also great for tracking the interview process and collaborating to decide YES or NO on a given candidate.,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.,9,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.,LinkedIn Talent,Lucidchart, DiscoverOrg, Salesforce App CloudHayden AndersonGood at what it does, buy struggles in some areas.2019-07-02T16:22:08.887ZLever is used as a recruiting and referral program for finding candidates for employment. Lever is used by all employees to submit referrals for job postings, and the talent acquisition/recruitment team uses Lever to reach out to candidates, schedule interviews, keep notes, and push candidates through the hiring workflow. Those who are part of the hiring committee, or been asked to participate in an interview are given tasks to review the candidates resume and provide feedback from the interview. Lever keeps everything centralized and keeps the workflow moving.,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.,7,Lever has greatly reduced the amount of time it takes to go through candidates.
We have spend a lot of time messing with Lever to work with SSO and subdomains. We gave up on the subdomains and have left things more or less duct-taped together. It's working, but it's fragile.
The collaboration has helped get deeper views into candidates and has helped gain better quality candidates.,Slack, JIRA Software, Atlassian Confluence, Okta Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)Chase Palmer, CISSPLever: Easy to Use Applicant Tracking System for quick ROI2018-11-29T18:39:23.058ZLever is used across the organization to manage our recruiting lifecycle. It helps us manage candidate communication, job postings, data and analytics, and gives our hiring managers insight into the process.,Lever has great reporting features which are easy to access quickly.
Lever has good roles and permissions to involve employees across the company in the recruiting process.
Lever can be customized to reflect the hiring process of your organization.,Sometimes the product could be buggy from time to time.,9,Shortened time to hire, better insight into our recruiting process.,Recruiterbox,RecruiterboxVerified UserA great way to spin up recruitment operations2018-07-10T17:54:12.201ZI came in right as we began to scale up recruitment before we had a recruitment team in place. The first thing I did was request we get Lever. It may have been 6 months early in terms of the breadth of features that we have available compared to our recruitment pipeline; however, the automation, reporting & administration led to us hiring 3 people (+1 intern) in 10 weeks, and I'm confident that wouldn't have happened as quickly (and potentially at all) without Lever.,Automating scheduling of meetings based on pipeline stage across all team members
Automating feedback forms to make sure you get actionable feedback on each interview
Pipeline analytics to help identify friction and predict how many candidates you need to make a hire.,Meeting scheduling is still a bit clunky - I can't embed the scheduling link in a hyperlink for example.
I'd love more integrations at the lower plan rate, but I honestly can't complain
The blue & black buttons for recent activity/inactivity aren't very visible,9,We made 3 key hires in 10 weeks (6 weeks ahead of schedule)
We generated more inbound applications than we had historically seen
We were able to improve our candidate experience based on analytics that showed bad follow-up in between certain interviews.,Breezy HRVerified UserLever from the POV of an interviewer2017-10-05T16:30:30.844ZWe use Lever as our recruiting CRM. All departments use it in some way or another. From the sales side, I specifically used Lever to input referral candidates and enter all candidate feedback after interviews. It provided a central system for feedback to avoid email feedback and help maintain consistency across interviewers.,Centralized system for all aspects of recruiting that can be used across the company, meaning as sales managers we used it to avoid duplicate work.
Simple. After interviewing a candidate, I had to just click on one link where I would input all of my feedback, enter my hiring score, hit submit and I was done. I didn't have unnecessary screens to work through.
Referring candidates was extremely easy with the Chrome extension. You just put in a linkedin profile URL and it was done. No worrying about emails getting to the right place.
Very easy to go back and see feedback on past candidates.,At least the way we had it set up, the feedback system was a little clunky. It was all free-form and didn't really address ensuring consistency across interviewers.,7,From a sales management standpoint, the ROI is time and organization. I had one central place to go to find candidate info, feedback submission, and recall for debriefs
The UI was clean, but I have used better ones in the past from an interviewer perspective.,Greenhouse,Yesware, Heroku, Join.meBrandon HawesUse LEVER to leverage your credibility across the enterprise with business stakeholders2017-08-15T19:44:24.945ZWe implemented LEVER throughout the organization. All of our interviewers, hiring managers, recruiters and sourcers use it regularly. We also added the additional module of LEVER NURTURE. We are working through higher adoption and successful use of NURTURE. In addition to LEVER on the desktop, we also use the LEVER extension in Chrome for LinkedIn. We are starting to use the metrics and analytics features.,Easy calendar integration with G Suite - Google calendar.
Easy integration with LinkedIn for connecting profiles using a button to the LinkedIn public profile.
Recent upgrade of Jobs and Requisition. Knowing what I know now I would have recommended much more business process analysis and retooling to use these two features properly.
Workflows relatively easy to modify intelligently.
Reminds interviewers to complete evals and lets you re-remind them with a click.,I miss the job posting automation of Jobvite. That was the best and only feature I miss from Jobvite and it doesn't exist in LEVER. You can get a link then shorten it for SM channels.
It would be fantastic if there was a way to categorize Contacts versus Leads. Some of our prospects require 5+ calls but they're not yet Recruiter Screens.,9,It's a little too soon to tell on this front. LEVER is not the cheapest option there is.
There's nowhere to hide in LEVER so production is visible in a much more meaningful way than Jobvite or Jobscience (the last two ATS I've personally used since 2009). We didn't demo Workday - I'd be interested in seeing that Recruitment module for comparison,Greenhous and SmartRecruiter,G Suite, PreziAllison BoyceSwitch to Lever: When Greenhouse starts charging extra for a new CRM function (that should be free!)2017-09-08T16:46:22.002ZJust doesn't work. Messed up all of our scheduling because "Easybook" links do not support google hangout interviews.
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,1,Doesn’t work: When using Easy Book Links, in the calendar invites the interviewer sees that it is a phone screen and can see the candidates phone number, however on the candidate side they see ‘Interview with Fueled’ and it is not clear that it is a phone screen. It looks more like a Google Hangout than a phone screen.
If a candidate is in two jobs, it is impossible to move them between different stages for each job.
If you reschedule a calendar invite, this change is not reflected in Lever.
When scheduling Google Hangout interviews, there are two calendar invites that get sent out— one between the interview manager and the interviewer and another between the interview manager and the interviewee. The interviewer and interviewee do not receive corresponding links; we have had to reschedule a handful of meetings due to the two parties being unable to meet because of this bug.
Security access stages don’t make sense: “Interviewers” don’t have access to feedback but the CANDIDATES CAN SEE FEEDBACK ABOUT THEIR CANDIDACY. Big no no.

Feedback links do not work via easybook from time to time - our hiring managers received error 403 messages,Greenhouse, Bullhorn CRM and JazzHR,Greenhouse, Slack, Lattice HQ,No,10,No,Monika Evje implentation specialist) and account manager Eleanor Preston are super quick to respond to any quesitions/concerns we have.Verified UserLever is a future oriented ATS System2017-06-23T22:32:01.649ZWe, the total organization, are using Lever for the whole candidate management process (ATS), means from search, via interviews to contract closure. Lever helps us to manage the candidates and to generate high-quality results for our customers.,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).,9,Time - I personally recognized that I'm saving time in the total candidate evaluation process and was quicker.
Tracking, Tagging, Quality and Security - As the biggest advantage I see is to have all candidate information, evaluation and communication at one place.
Prize Structure - To have the biggest advantage out of the Lever system you have to be the full Enterprise package. At the beginning, it is too expensive and therefore I could not take out the full advantage of the system. It is important to generate a clear understanding and negotiation with Lever Sales upfront.,,Microsoft Office 365, WordPressThomas WielerUltimate HR tech solution for a growing tech firm!2017-06-09T19:31:21.167ZWe have had great success implementing it for our Marketing and Client Success teams. As People Operations, I use Lever to hire primarily for our fastest growing team (Client Success), and then trained the hiring manager for Marketing in how to use it.
I offered to implement it across the organization. The Sales and Development/Engineering departments were not ready to implement it as they are relying on recruiters and their own processes. I suspect that when they become inundated with communications to recruiters, and between team members who perform secondary interviews, they will come around to using Lever. In the meantime, we are showing good results in the other departments and are prepared to provide them case studies and training.,Lever is great about keeping the paper trail for candidates in one convenient profile. It allows interviewers to track what has already been gleaned by way of previous feedback as well what has been covered in email exchanges.
Lever's high-level views--whether through its reporting tool or its delineation of candidates in workflow stages--are helpful for managers who do not have time for the nitty-gritty, but want to see the general trends of candidate movement.
I am a big fan of how Lever syncs everything with team members' Google Calendars and Gmail. This has been a big time-saver as I used to sort through emails manually and create calendar events manually (with Google forms for feedback).
The ability to create templates in Lever has been a big improvement upon my copy/pasting templates in emails prior to Lever. More importantly, the feature to send these templates at a later date/customizable time help me keep the fast personalization in step with sustainable rhythms.
Team members love that Lever notifies them of interviews in Slack--and that I can address our interview crew Slack channel with updates on Candidates. Additionally, the feedback reminders in Slack ensure that I'm not having to take time to pester people, but can automate the pace of my pestering. :)
I also utilize Lever's DocuSign integration for the offer stage. This has been a great help as we want to make it easier for candidates to become excited about the offer and quickly (seamlessly) accept it.,I wish there was more integration with DocuSign, such that we could set up more links (besides the offer letter) for new hire paperwork once the offer has been accepted.
The data migration process was intensive for me since we were not coming from an ATS before with a readily translated database. I agreed to manually enter information into a template they sent me so that I could have at least the 25% most recent candidates represented in my reporting/analytics (a little over 100 candidates). So when this information was not fully migrated (i.e.: the dates when someone entered and left the pipeline reflect the day of the migration despite inquiries about a fix), I was a little disappointed. The data migration was only necessary if it gave us more date for accurately reflecting statistics related to our hiring process. Since it not showing accurately, we could have started from scratch in some way.
I wish Lever came with some kind of demo account for each of the tiers of access. I found that it has been trial and error figuring out exactly what people can see at each tier, despite having the chart. For instance, I thought only certain emails would be blocked from the admins (i.e., any emails sent regarding the offer), but that other candidate info would still be available to them for purposes of discerning which director (admin access) would like the candidate on their team. I found a workaround of sending feedback and resumes manually, but I wish there were some access level between admin and super admin--that permitted candidates to be seen except for the few sleected emails that aresecret.,9,Allows us to get twice as much completed feedback forms on average as compared to prior system.
Saves roughly 50% of the time it would have taken with previous methods of scheduling, feedback collection, general communication, and on-boarding.
Has made it easier for us to make offers with its approval system, and made it easier for candidates to accept offers due to its integration with DocuSign.,GoogleHire and Greenhouse,Slack, DocuSign, JIRA Service DeskAshley (Gay) GrahamA slick, collaborative ATS2017-06-05T13:37:16.821ZWe use Lever as our ATS.
