We had two large hiring influxes over the last year that we needed a way to coordinate and funnel candidates through. Having thousands of applicants makes the funnel process super important and Lever helped us set this up. Lever also provided the job description pages that we had everyone apply through so that we had a standardized structure for applications

We use Lever as our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for candidates we're reaching out to or speaking with about open roles we're trying to fill. We have it integrated with LinkedIn Recruiter, as well as ContactOut to source personal emails and phone numbers. We also use their integration with Grayscale for SMS capability. We've found Lever easy to use, pretty intuitive, and the set-up has been fairly painless.

Currently, we use Lever as our ATS to create a database of past, current, and future candidates we can assist with their job search. We utilize the email feature to keep all communication inside of Lever. It helps to solve the problem of being able to easily access candidates at any given time. We use Lever on a daily basis and also communicate internally using the @ mention feature. There are areas where additional features could allow us to remove the usage of supplemental software.

We use Lever to organize and track applicants and candidates as they move through our interview process. We also used Lever as a recruiting CRM to create outreach email campaigns to engage candidates. It was the repository that held all candidate information and was also used to manage processes like offers, background checks, reference checks, etc.

Prior to Lever, we didn't have or use any ATS. Lever was not just a solution to a problem for us, but also the tool we planned to use to build, scale and grow our early stage, Series A startup. We went from using Airtable to track our applications and notes, to using Lever's full suite of offerings to manage top of funnel, pipeline, and hiring. We used Zenefits to send our offer letters. But Lever allowed us to create more efficient processes, provide stronger support and resources for our Hiring Managers, and most importantly, create a consistent, fair, and enjoyable experience for our candidates, whether we ended up hiring them or not.

Lever is our corporate ATS. All sourcers, recruiters, TA coordinators, hiring managers, and interviewers use it. We also use it as a referral tool. Lever allows us to collaborate on hiring decisions, using it as the "single source of truth" for our recruiting efforts. We also use it as a first source of candidates for new roles as they open.

We are using Lever as our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). We have also integrated with Checkr to run background and drug screens once the candidate has accepted the offer. Lever begins with an array of possibilities when a candidate first applies. I love the quick review feature where you can quickly move through new applicants/resumes and determine if they should move forward to the manager review or not the right fit for the position. From there you are able to place them into the archives along with the reasoning, "not a good fit", "not the right location", "position has been filled" - these are all set up according to our custom needs, which means if things change, we are also able to change with quick help from Customer Service. <br>

Lever is essential for our organization, specifically for our HR department! It is being used to manage our hiring process. The tool has helped our organization source, manage and nurture candidates that are looking to work at our organization. Our HR department manages the platform but all of our departments use it: sales, engineering, customer success, marketing, and finance. The majority of departments at our organization use the tool to refer candidates.

In my company Lever is being used across all departments. All candidates who wants to apply for a position has to go through Lever.
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.

Lever is currently the Hub Project's main applicant tracking system in addition to external job websites. We use it in the hiring process to fill vacant roles across the organization. The Operations team handles the day-to-day interviewing and routine ATS tasks in Lever. It is effective and efficient.

We used Lever for several months as a trial, during a period of reevaluating our recruiting and hiring pipeline process. Even though we ultimately went with another vendor, we learned a lot of best practices from Lever and would still recommend it to others based on certain criteria. Namely, the support for integrations with major 3rd party vendors like GSuite, LinkedIn, and Slack were impressive and saved a lot of work. Secondly, the interview scheduling feature was the best out of all the vendors we evaluated, and would be a game-changer for any organization that struggles with keeping up with scheduling tasks.

Lever is being used across the whole organization to track employee referral candidates. Being in hyper growth, we are actively recruiting and hiring over 300 people in 2021. Because of this, the entire organization shares the task to find and recruit the talent. Lever makes it easy for current employees to get their contacts in the system for interviews.

Lever is a great system for managing candidates and new hires. It makes work easier and more efficient and the platform is not too difficult to use. The UI can be a bit tough at times but for the most part, it seems to work well. It allows us to save a lot of time when it comes to the new hire process.

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.

We use [Lever] to track job applicants and to track interview participants through the different stages of the process. A whole department uses it for this, as the main tool to keep track of people and where they are as we interview them. We can bulk load larger lists of people, and then email them from Lever and otherwise keep all their information together in one place.

Lever is our primary recruiting tool and it is used throughout the entire company. We use their UI for job postings and also their internal functionality for looking at candidates, setting up interviews and reviewing candidates. We have it integrated with a few other products as well in order to link test scores for recruitment exercises.

Lever 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.
