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.
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.

  • We have an ATS now and did not have one before
  • LinkedIn integration is better than others I've seen
  • Spend too much time researching unhelpful user guides since their support is terrible
  • Lots of frustration with post implementation support
  • Integrations break, tools don't work and settings fail which could lead to other issues
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.
What support? - Add a ticket and get links to [I believe] their unhelpful user guide. Add a charge if you want better support - afterward just got those links faster...
We did get the preferred package in hopes we could get better support - $8500K a year for subpar support? - no thank you!
Yes
Nope
I believe we had a good implementation person. That was about it.
It isn't difficult to use for the applicant processing, but [I feel] if you want to pull reports or use their tools, good luck!

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 is for the true recruiter who needs their ATS to be a single source of truth but can be a bit dogmatic, whereas Greenhouse is for someone who has a lot of time on their hands to work on feature/function customizations. Also, CRM capabilities are included in your core Lever package, in comparison to Greenhouse, who is now charging talent teams PER seat for CRM capabilities they consider be ancillary.

  • 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.
  • Can’t send PDF offers
  • Feedback links do not work via easybook from time to time - our hiring managers received error 403 messages
It's not worth the trouble.
No
They have great account managers and implementations specialists
No
Monika Evje implentation specialist) and account manager Eleanor Preston are super quick to respond to any quesitions/concerns we have.
