Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

It is a great way to have a large repository of candidate information but it is harder to see the smaller details such as the date an interview was scheduled as well as subset stages for a more granular view when pulling up a report in the Visual Insights tool. This would make it a highly viable ATS and CRM.

I would highly recommend Lever to a recruiter looking to bring on a new ATS platform. It's very well designed, visually intuitive, well-integrated with the partner ecosystem, candidates appear organized, and it has all the functionality necessary to scale as organizations get larger. One of the main reasons I prefer Lever over its competitors is that recruiter admin work in the platform goes much more quickly than in other systems. There is less clicking around to different views. One of the other main advantages Lever has is that it integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar in a way that allows 2-way sync on candidate emails and scheduled interviews arrive right on a candidate's calendar. This is not necessarily so with other ATSs.

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.

Lever unfortunately is not very intuitive, in my opinion. I previously used Greenhouse and I'd recommend that over Lever if you are looking for software to allow recruiting and hiring teams to better collaborate, I believe. Lever's scheduling function isn't great but it works well integrated with Goodtime.

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.

Lever really is a user friendly application. It is very intuitive. I like that I can make notes within a candidates file and tag other members of management to view the resume/application without having to download everything and send in an email. Also, any emails to and from the candidate are synced which is a good way to track correspondence. We are a small volume hiring company, but I think a lot of the features would be put to great use by a larger company than ours.

Our organization is growing rapidly at this moment and this tool is a huge improvement from what we previously used. This tool is essential for our organization because of how fast we're growing. Our HR team loves how they can keep notes on people who are applying. They love the improved communication with hiring managers and great reporting which has led to an improved experience. We also love the ease of use for referring candidates.

Lever is well suited for fast growing startups who are actively hiring. For larger organizations Lever might not have all the granular control which they might be looking for from a platform like this.
Since Lever is easy to setup and has great implementation support, it adds to the fact that smaller companies can take advantage of this.

Great if you are a big company with loads of money to spend on service to support your efforts. Must have low expectations of how it will help you find better talent. Make sure you have an in-house Lever tech person to help you as [in my experience] you won't get much help from their support team.

Lever is a good applicant tracking system. It suits a majority of our needs at the Hub Project. It is inexpensive, effective, and efficient. If your organization has money to spend, however, then I would recommend Greenhouse because they are better and have more advanced features and functions. Although, you get your bang for your buck with Lever.

I feel like it gets the job done--allowing employees at scale to refer their friends, get them in the system, and track their progress. If a company is in hyper growth mode and the recruiting team is needing some help/wanting to open up the talent pool, Lever gets the job done!

Lever is largely used to store confidential and collaborative feedback about the candidates we are looking to potentially hire. Getting all notes and opinions in one safe place is very helpful and makes decision making much faster, whether it is a yes or a no. Great tool overall for us.

[Lever is] well suited to manage interview campaigns, provide feedback on applicants, and track your progress. Great integration to other business tools we use like Outlook and LinkedIn. It is awesome to be able to look at different stages and see your pipeline clearly.

The calendar app could be better. Many people get confused when they try to choose a time because the time zones are not clear. Also, It would be nice if you could set an automatic buffer between interviews.

Lever is perfect for early recruiting processes and can also be utilized by more seasoned teams for internal interviews as well! It may be less appropriate for other HR processes like emails, schedules, and presenting offers when actually extending the opportunity to take a position at our company.

If you are an organization that is looking to consolidate, organize the recruitment process -- Lever tool is definitely for you. On the other hand, if it's a smaller company, you would have to invest a lot since someone needs to maintain the configuration of the recruitment process and it might be tedious.

Lever is good as an introductory hiring management solution where you start receiving 50 - 100 applications for a position. It works well with a smaller number of candidates and when there are fewer people involved in the process. Once you start getting several hundred people into the system and you are implementing things like SSO, which most enterprise companies use, things become very complicated and can get messed up very easily.
