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.
- Scrape candidates from LinkedIn Recruiter directly into Lever.
- Scheduling candidates for the various steps in their interview process is easy .
- Creating scorecards for interviewers to use keeps the momentum going in the interview process.
- Moving candidates through the various pipeline stages is simple.
- Support. It's a hit or miss and when you're a new customer, this is unacceptable.
- They need a task reminder feature native to Lever. This doesn't currently exist, and we have to use a third-party tool.

Series A Startup Scales Early On With Lever
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.
- The pipeline view for tracking our applicants is awesome - something that Greenhouse and others could work on a bit.
- Reporting is strong - easy to create dashboards and ongoing reports to be sent out directly to stakeholders. Helps save a lot of time and create a data driven environment.
- Onboarding and Customer Support - always the best and quickest replies. Onboarding was a breeze, they were super organized and on top of every single detail. Got us started on the right path and it was easy from there on our own!
- Emails - being able to add a Signature would be massive. Not sure if that is something that has been added since we stopped using Lever (we got acquired by DoorDash, so we now use Greenhouse through their systems), but that was the reason I didn't send emails directly through Lever often at all - doesn't look professional without the signature.
- Resume parsing - sometimes, it would take the incorrect info for the email or phone number, or just not pull anything at all when the info is clearly on the resume. So maybe working on how and what gets pulled from emails on applications, would be great.
- The look and design of the standard career page is a bit bland. Totally understand branding it as Lever, but options to adjust or do more with it would be fun!

We have used Lever since October 2019 as our first ATS. All hiring teams utilize Lever and it is the main tool for our recruiting efforts besides LinkedIn.
- Job posting page integrates with website
- Email candidates directly to set up phone screens with EasyBook Links
- Schedules interviews in the platform
- [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.

Lever will work just fine
We use it as an ats and a tool for debriefing on candidates.
- Ats
- Multiple candidacies
- Visibility
- No funnel metrics
- Tough to see where candidates came from
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.
- Scheduling management is a breeze.
- 3rd party integrations are well-designed.
- UI is snappy and responsive.
- As others have mentioned, the single sign on feature does not play well with API access.
- UI can be a bit busy.
- Price point not worth it for us.

Great product with excellent customer support
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.
- Intuitive system.
- Data export.
- Access levels.
- Integrations.
- Templates.

Pull the Lever!
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.
- Team hiring.
- Feedback logic/UI.
- Notes, next steps, and candidate management.
- It would be nice to be easier to navigate for new users.
- Perhaps functionality where candidates can give hiring teams feedback as well.
- Pricing.

- Easy data input.
- Candidates can apply directly from our portal.
- Good for small businesses with limited budget.

We use Lever as our tool for evaluating and tracking potential job candidates within our system. It links to our online application portal, we use it to provide feedback on candidates during the interview process, and it can be used when we submit referrals on new hires.
- Easy to use
- Integrated system
- Price point for use

Lever: Easy to Use Applicant Tracking System for quick ROI
Lever 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.

Switch to Lever: When Greenhouse starts charging extra for a new CRM function (that should be free!)
Just 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

Lever from the POV of an interviewer
We 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.

Lever is a future oriented ATS System
We, 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).

Ultimate HR tech solution for a growing tech firm!
We 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.

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.

A slick, collaborative ATS
We use Lever as our ATS. We use it to manage everything from sourcing to offering. We've implemented it this year to phenomenal success.
- Integration with the Google Suite - especially Gmail.
- Easy collaboration with hiring managers.
- Navigation and ease of use.
- Simple single-pipeline system.
- Cost can be somewhat prohibitive.
- Calendaring function could use some upgrades that allow saving.
- EEO information distribution is inefficient.
