Overall Satisfaction with Lever
I came in right as we began to scale up recruitment before we had a recruitment team in place. The first thing I did was request we get Lever. It may have been 6 months early in terms of the breadth of features that we have available compared to our recruitment pipeline; however, the automation, reporting & administration led to us hiring 3 people (+1 intern) in 10 weeks, and I'm confident that wouldn't have happened as quickly (and potentially at all) without Lever.
- Automating scheduling of meetings based on pipeline stage across all team members
- Automating feedback forms to make sure you get actionable feedback on each interview
- Pipeline analytics to help identify friction and predict how many candidates you need to make a hire.
- Meeting scheduling is still a bit clunky - I can't embed the scheduling link in a hyperlink for example.
- I'd love more integrations at the lower plan rate, but I honestly can't complain
- The blue & black buttons for recent activity/inactivity aren't very visible
- We made 3 key hires in 10 weeks (6 weeks ahead of schedule)
- We generated more inbound applications than we had historically seen
- We were able to improve our candidate experience based on analytics that showed bad follow-up in between certain interviews.
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.
