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 is the proprietary tool at Meta, but alas, that tool is for internal use only.

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 grows you need a tool that can grow with you. Lever can keep up with your needs and their support team is very helpful.

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.

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

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 multiple openings at an organization where employees are always coming and going. If you have a lot of interns, temporary staff, and/or contractors then Lever might be right for you.

We did a 45 day vendor "bake off" between Lever and JazzHR and Lever was the unanimous winner. Lever was much easier to configure and get up and running. It was also a much more effective collaboration tool and it didn't require as much customization.

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 we look for in a replacement if we were ever looking!

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.

They are not too similar, but are the only two tools I've used.

Simple to use with key points readily accessible.

Lever is a less 'mature' ATS. Also much less expensive. iCIMS is a much more robust ATS.

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 greatly through an increased focus on warm referrals from existing champions here at our company.

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.

Lever and Recruiterbox are comparable systems. Lever allows for better "interview panels" which must be scheduled individually in Recruiterbox.

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 smooth thanks to Lever's implementation team.

It's not worth the trouble.

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 scores along with customizing overall ratings a little better. Outside of that, the value of having everything in one place instead of verbal or email feedback, which I've done in the past, is huge regardless of the platform.

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 recruiters when they selected features and functions. That's a first!

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 grow into the leader's quadrant 2. Features versus price for the basic version 3. Good feedback from other users with pros/cons discussions.

Lever was certainly more expensive than a beta test for GoogleHire, and about on par with Greenhouse. We ultimately went with Lever over Greenhouse due to its sleek, intuitive UI design. And we chose Lever over GoogleHire beta program because the latter didn't seem to provide us much more than we already had in place. It was only slightly better than the system we had cobbled together with pipeline tracking in Google Sheets, feedback forms through Google Forms, candidate communication via Gmail, and scheduling of interviews via Google Calendar.

Lever is easily the most effective ATS that I've used. It blows much of the competition away with respect to how well it integrates with our email system and allows easy collaboration.
