Overall Satisfaction with Lever

We primarily use it to track candidates and use it for an internal database for applications. It's also a place where hiring teams can collaborate and gather feedback in one centralized system
  • Passive candidate tracking
  • Candidate nurture function
  • Visibility across all open reqs
  • Lever is incredibly difficult for hiring managers to get a quick overview of their pipeline
  • Doesn't have great integrations with LI Recruiter
  • Hard to see data on pipelines
  • Organized candidate information versus mainly receiving applicants
  • Days to hire
  • Automated job posting to LinkedIn
Lever's candidate first view over job requisition view is confusing and often managers are unable to get a real time update of their pipeline, I've found. I'd recommend Greenhouse

Do you think Lever delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Lever's feature set?

No

Did Lever live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Lever go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Lever again?

No

Lever unfortunately is not very intuitive, in my opinion. I previously used Greenhouse and I'd recommend that over Lever if you are looking for software to allow recruiting and hiring teams to better collaborate, I believe. Lever's scheduling function isn't great but it works well integrated with Goodtime.
