It's not just a tool, but a comprehensive solution that has revolutionized our hiring process. From the moment we started using it, we saw a significant improvement in our efficiency. The features are easy to use and cover all of our needs, even addressing needs we didn't know we had! While there's always room for improvement, Lever has truly exceeded our expectations and made a positive impact on our talent team's day-to-day operations. Pros Lever has been a game-changer for us! It’s like a one-stop-shop for all our hiring needs. From job descriptions to candidate data, everything is just a click away. And the best part? It’s got features we didn’t even know we needed until we had them! Cons Well, no system is perfect. If I had to pick, I’d say Lever could do a bit more when it comes to user access customization. It would be super helpful if we could create access profiles for different teams. But who knows, maybe that’s in the cards for a future update!

We looked at a bunch of features, like resume parsing, job posting management, email templates, and more. Lever was top-notch in all these areas. It was a close race though - two other tools were just a few points behind! But what really made Lever stand out was how fast we could talk about pricing and get started. So, in the end, Lever was the clear winner for us. Switched from [HiringThing](https://www.capterra.com/p/125622/HiringThing/) We switched from HiringThing to Lever because, well, HiringThing just didn’t cut it. It was missing all the features we needed - like resume parsing, job posting management, email templates, and so much more. But with Lever, it’s like we’ve stepped into a whole new world! It’s got everything we were missing and more. So yeah, compared to HiringThing, Lever is just plain amazing! Review Source Magdalena B.

August 12, 2024 5.0 Lever has been a fantastic addition to our team, revolutionizing the way we manage our recruitment process. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive design have made our daily tasks significantly easier. The dedicated customer support and implementation team have been invaluable in ensuring a smooth transition. We've particularly appreciated Lever's ability to streamline our workflow. Posting jobs across multiple platforms with a single click has saved us countless hours. The platform's comprehensive candidate management tools have enhanced our ability to track candidates efficiently, minimizing the risk of losing top talent. Lever's robust sourcing capabilities have been instrumental in building a strong talent pipeline. The analytics and reporting features provide us with invaluable insights, enabling data-driven decisions to optimize our recruitment strategy. Finally, Lever's seamless integration with our existing systems has significantly reduced manual work and increased efficiency. Pros Lever has been a game-changer for us. It's incredibly user-friendly and intuitive, making our daily tasks a breeze. The customer support and implementation team have been fantastic (especially Tom), guiding us through every step. We love how streamlined and efficient it's made our recruitment workflows. Plus, the analytics and reporting tools are top-notch, giving us valuable insights. It's clear that Lever was designed with the future of recruitment in mind. Cons While Lever is generally user-friendly, there’s a bit of a learning curve, especially when diving into the more advanced features and customizations. Switched from [JazzHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/87750/JazzHR/) We needed more robust ATS with more functionality (CRM & multiple location postings, approval workflows to name a few) Review Source SN Susan N. Sr. HR Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Decent ATS system" May 2, 2025 3.0 Overall, the experience was okay. The platform did what we needed it to but in the end we wished for more features with the same simplicity. Pros Lever was simple for our IT team to set up and get integrated with our Outlook calendars and emails. Cons The site itself seemed a bit dated and lacked the customization that our team required when it came to scheduling. Review Source Maria L. Head of Talent Acquisition Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool to support with hiring in a scale-up phase" July 25, 2021 5.0 My company is going through an exciting scale-up stage and to support the company with hiring efforts we decided to modernize our recruitment stack. Implementing Lever was very easy across the whole organisation - the implementation specialist - \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] - offered top-notch support during the whole implementation journey and the migration of candidate data from our previous ATS went seamless. Since adoption, the hiring team saved lots of time in sourcing and gathering the interview feedbacks, as it allowed us to automate several critical tasks. Pros Lever has all of the features we were looking for - an easy to set up careers page, configurable roles and permissions, feedback forms, communication templates, customizable steps in the interview process, scheduling, referrals, internal applications management and a very powerful customizable analytics dashboard. And above all, it has a game-changing Nurture feature that Lever is the only ATS I'm aware of offers that allow the team to engage candidates at scale through personalized email campaigns. Cons Not a big issue, however worth mentioning: i)my previous ATS had a mobile app I used on a daily basis - Lever doesn't have one ii) there's no local support in Europe which leads to either asynchronous communication per email or meetings that can take place late afternoon only. iii) impossible to upload a picture (of the hiring team for example) to the job ad, something that was possible with my previous ATS Alternatives considered [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Nurture feature Switched from [Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/) We were looking into getting a more powerful ATS to support sourcing efforts - Lever was the only ATS we spoke with who offered the Nurture feature very valuable to us since close to 40% of our hiring requires reaching out to passive candidates. Review Source Payton H. Talent Acquisition Specialist Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New to Lever" December 23, 2021 5.0 The communication and support while considering to go with Lever and again when implementing, was phenomenal. Pros My favorite aspect about Lever is being able to send candidates profiles and notes to one of our hiring managers and it goes straight to their email. The hiring manager can respond to the note without even having to log into lever. I also love the ease of setting interviews and calendar invites in one, simple step. Cons I wish we had known about more Lever features before we were assigned to the basic package because if the quoted pricing included items such as DocuSign and the Preferred Support were included, we would most likely have those. Alternatives considered [Breezy](https://www.capterra.com/p/141702/Breezy-HR/) Reason for choosing Lever We decided we loved our interactions with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], and our \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], were interactions we wanted to have with our new ATS system because that is what we were lacking before. Those two ladies made all the difference to us! Review Source Jessica D. Talent Acquisition Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " Lever is such a user-friendly tool and a huge improvement for us!" May 3, 2022 5.0 We weren't able to successfully build a robust database previously. Lever allows you to do that in an organized way. Also, the metrics/reporting capabilities even within the enhanced package is far superior to those I've used previously. Pros I love the UI/UX of Lever. It's super user-friendly and easy to figure out overall. Lots of capabilities we didn't have before. Compared to the solutions I've used before (JazzHR and BreezyHR for smaller businesses), it's like night and day. SO much better. Cons There are some features that are missing/need to be improved. They aren't dealbreakers, though. For instance, you can't manually update job posting dates. Also, the site doesn't have many partnerships with free job boards allowing you to automatically push out postings to them. It's integrated with LinkedIn and has a recent integration with Indeed as well, but that's it. If you want postings on other job boards, you have to manually do it, which is a decent amount of work. Alternatives considered [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Better sales experience and better interface Switched from [Breezy](https://www.capterra.com/p/141702/Breezy-HR/) BreezyHR was lacking in functionality for a globally dispersed recruitment team at a high growth company.

Talent Acquisitions Museums and Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Lever Team has created an efficient & user friendly ATS!" April 17, 2024 5.0 Great customer service. Great support! We were lucky with our implementation specialist, Tom Marino! Pros The ease of reviewing resumes, rating applicants, communication with applicants and internal team members, and the reminders on pending tasks. Cons Scheduling panel interviews. It is somewhat of a challenge in the sense that holding time on panelist calendars before actually scheduling the interview and candidates can be streamlined a little bit further. Reason for choosing Lever The ease of use... The creators of the Lever software really seemed to have developed a software keeping in mind the key areas of recruitment, applicant tracking through the offer stage. Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) We needed a more effective Applicant Tracking System with privacy features. Review Source Sarah Y. Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Candidate Tracking Software!" August 24, 2021 5.0 Using Lever has been a breeze. It's so easy to track candidates, but also to save resumes for later review. We love using Lever! Pros Lever makes it so so easy to recruit and track candidates for multiple job postings. The job site it creates is easy to navigate and integrates very simply into our company's website. I love that you can manage each posting separately and even assign different hiring managers to each. By far, my favorite feature are the interview feedback forms. This makes it easy to see what all interviewers think of the candidate and allow them to jot down notes throughout the process. Cons There's not much that I don't like about Lever. Occasionally, the email connection breaks and you have to reconnect your email, but that's super easy. Alternatives considered [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Lever had more of the features we were looking for. Review Source AL Andrii L. Senior strategist Industrial Automation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "applicant tracking system and HR management tool" February 14, 2025 5.0 Good, reliable solution for applicant tracking process. Priced for medium to large business and stays to be stable and reliable tool. Can be accompanied with standalone payrol solution, specifically to the location or relationship with contractors. Pros That is scalable corporate grade solution. Different providers of digital signature are supported. Stable work of application combined with reliable data storage. No errors experienced. Awesome dashboards and tools for performance rewiev and capabilities for continuous performance tracking since of sourcing, offer digital sign, onboarding and KPI tracking to hardware and policy documents assignments. Cons No solution for work force sourcing. That limits us for using it for construction industry and we are missing for access to contractors data bases. Above the average pricing. Time tracking needs attendance controls automation. Applicant resume parsing needs browser capabilities to be switched on. Good to have unified CV profile applicable to different ATS. Hard to migrate from previous ATS to Lever and needs specific mapping. Can have limits for using in offshore locations. Review Source CL Chengeer L.

There are things that I would change but as I said it does the job. At the end of the day, it is all a question of your usage, your team, the scale of the business, and ofc your budget. Lever is a great solution if you have a small team under 10 recruiters, company size under 1k, and a small budget to operate with. If you know how to run scrappy and get things done, Lever is a solid choice. Pros Simple.Intuitive. Extremely easy to onboard new recruiters and get them up to speed. All the basic functionality to run a quick process is there. Not expensive - for the price point I would say delivers a lot of value. Cons Not innovative. They accept feedback - but nothing gets implemented. Even simple things that should take no time. I wish they were listening to the customers who are using the product every day - we want to help and make Lever better.

When I joined the team - Lever was already there. Review Source AA Alex A. Talent Acquisition Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lever for the Win!" April 3, 2024 5.0 Overall switching to Lever has made our TA Team more efficient and we couldn't be happier! Pros Lever is a fantastic ATS and very easy to use. We love use automations to automate some of our manual tasks, it's very easy to set up interviews with Lever's interface. The many integrations help speed up our onboarding process as well! Implementation was a breeze, \[sensitive content hidden\] was a great implementation manager and was working along side me the whole way. Cons Lever has a feature to book phone screens which is convenient but doesn't let you add buffer time between calls. I'm hoping they add this feature in a recent update. Alternatives considered [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Switched from [ICIMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/) iCIMS seemed out dated with their features and it seemed like anything we wanted to add to increase our efficiencies came at a cost when other ATS were offering that as a standard option. Review Source RM Russell M. Director of Talent Acquisition Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best ATS" September 21, 2023 5.0 By far the best ATS that I have used in 15 years of recruiting. The UI is intuitive, the ability to manage your pipeline using is as easy as they come. The reporting is accurate and it is easy to identify what impacts and triggers. I did 15 demos before deciding on Lever. And after each Demo I felt like there were missing tools or a misalignment on what those ATS did vs what I believed was an effective way to manage candidates through the interview process. With Lever I felt like the softwares functionality matched with my philosophy on recruiting and the candidate experience. Pros Easy to customize, great bulk actions, strong reporting, and the best tool for managing your candidate pipeline. Cons The Easy Book tool lacks some customization. You can work around this through management of your calendar.

Review Source MJ Melissa J. Assistant General Counsel Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Small Business!" September 2, 2024 4.0 Overall, we are pleased with the software. It works for our needs much better than it's sister product, Jobvite. Pros The platform is incredibly easy and simple to use. Our hiring managers like the ease and simplicity of being able to review applicants efficiently (quickly). Also having the ability to pull a candidate into the candidate pool if the recruiter didn't include them. Cons Not ideal for very large corporations who need a more robust solution. Switched from [Jobvite](https://www.capterra.com/p/109268/Jobvite/) Jobvite overpromised and underdelivered features that were essential to our business. To "upgrade" for the functionality we were initially promised, but did not receive, would have cost our company an additional $35k per year. Review Source sJ shubha J.

Structured implementation plan. It was a pleasure working with Tom Marino. Pros Ease of Use and implementation. The help videos were very useful. Good UI Cons Some limitations in customization - final rating scale in feedback form. Salary structure in offer process is not easy to create. Had issues integrating with Linkedin .

" December 27, 2024 4.0 Used as primary ATS for 2 years, and had a few complaints that couldn't be resolved. Although it did the trick generally, we ended up moving away. Pros Easy to use and generally intuitive. Functionality was well thought out. Cons Sometimes lacked the necessary functionality and integrations necessary to make it 100% effective.

Talent Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lever ATS Review" September 20, 2024 4.0 Overall, I have had a good experience with Lever, however, it leaves a lot to be desired compared to the other more modern Applicant Tracking Systems out there. Pros I like Lever because of its ease of use. It's also great for bulk candidate management, especially for those who handle volume roles. It also has integration with a lot of job boards which leads to a good flow of applicants. Cons The reporting module is not the greatest, we have had to integrate it with another app for reports. It also lacks a lot of automation, which can be a downside for busy recruiters. Review Source AG Ashley G. People Operations Coordinator Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vast improvement in the automation of our young, growing tech company's hiring process" May 1, 2017 5.0 Pros I love its seamless integration with the tools we most use--Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Abacus, and Docusign. It has made our entire hiring process more seamless as a result. For applicants, it provides a more professional, personalized (if templated!) experience than what our young company had previously afforded. For our People Operations department (of one) it has vastly improved our organization of resumes. Previously, I received from multiple sources (hand-delivered resumes, forwarded emails of resumes, dozens of job boards) often receiving resumes from people who were not directly involved with the hiring process. Lever has helped keep the channels of communication open between varying levels of involvement, equipping team members to track at the distance that makes the most sense for them. Furthermore, it has renewed energy throughout the company regarding our democratic hiring process. It is helpful that all team members can refer candidates more easily to the wider team, and that they can see all of their feedback forms/interviews in once place. The Slack reminders regarding feedback prove helpful since so much of our work is carried out via Slack. I also very much enjoyed the implementation process with Phil. He made clear that there is no dumb question. He was consistently friendly, and empathetic when there were obstacles in the implementation. He had a great way of allowing me to train by doing instead of training by sight. Cons I look forward to the tool having more options in terms of auto-text/mail-merge. For example, it would be great if email templates had some options for dates and times. I also wish that it were possible to add multiple locations to a particular posting. I created a location called "Multiple Locations," but it'd be nice to have more specific cities listed. Perhaps I'm missing something though and this is an option. I'm still very young in my use of this tool. I also wish that the workflow process could be manipulated by super admins. If ever we need to make an edit to the workflows, we will need to contact Lever's support team. I have no doubt they will be responsive. I simply wish we were empowered to customize this ourselves as needs change. It'd be great if each department could customize their own flow for their different hiring processes. Also, the cost was nearly prohibitive for our small company. I was glad that the team worked with us on this. I trust that if we can expand its use across departments (instead of the initially approved Client Success team), the company will see its full value. Right now it's a bit costly for our 1-person People Ops 'team' in its primary focus on Client Success hires. I think to get full use out of this platform, we would need a full-time recruiter--possibly using the Teamable and LinkedIn Recruiter integrations that Lever affords. Review Source JS Jake S. Talent Acquisition Associate Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive, Effective, Innovative." December 30, 2017 4.0 Bottom line: In my opinion, Lever is the best ATS out there. Beats its competitors by at least a mile. Keep up the great work! Pros \- Scheduling interviews have never been easier for our Talent Team. Our conference rooms are linked to Lever so we can do everything without checking Google Calendar! - Easy to use interface. Every tab, page, and profile is very user-friendly, with the recruiter/hiring manager in mind. - Sending candidates a link to schedule their phone interview cuts down on the back and forth. - Communication between approvers, hiring managers and interviewing team is ridiculously easy that even my mom can use Lever. - Automatic job posting to external job boards. Super easy to use for niche job boards as well! - The referral system is super easy for folks who don't use Lever on a daily basis. - Customizable application per posting. SUPER easy. I love this feature. - Reports are very easy to pull and read. - Recruiters have control over who they involve in the hiring process. Before when we didn't have Lever, all hiring managers had access to every single job posting and its applicants in front of them. Now, we assign them to specific jobs they own. They can't see anything else. - Lever Extension on Chrome is insane, in a very good way. Extremely helpful when you're sourcing candidates on LinkedIn! - Andrew is great. Always there when we had questions and always willing to hop on a call with us. - Implementation phase was super quick and simple. The Lever team did whatever we asked and in turn, we did whatever they asked. Cons \- Requisition approval needs fine tuning. When we decide to hire internally for a requisition that has already been approved, we have to delete the current req and add another one indicating it was an internal hire in order for us to report on the number of internal hires. There's very little you can do with a req once it's been approved without getting the approvers involved again. - Offer approval is backward, in my opinion. The letter should be drafted first, then sent out to the approvers for their review. Right now, it's approval first, then offer letter draft. - Referrals are counted as "applicants" and not "leads." That's crazy to me. - Once a lead has applied through our careers website, we have to manually move them from the lead bucket to the applicant bucket. There's no automatic transfer. No notification, either. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Strong UX" October 21, 2022 4.0 Pros The user experience with Lever was much higher than that of most ATSs that I've used. My favorite functions included:- reminding interviewers to submit feedback- being notified when an interviewer submitted feedback- being able to see when the candidate's next interview was scheduled- the notes section on a candidate profile for those one-off conversations with candidates or when discussing with a hiring manage- Being able to tag someone in the notes- Resume review was quick and painless Cons I would have liked to automate workflows more. Example: If I move a candidate to interview completed, then I would like to automatically trigger an interview follow-up email.Docusign integration never worked properly for offer letters.

He was knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us get up and running with the new system. We highly recommend him! Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] was an invaluable asset during our recent implementation process. His expertise in Lever was crucial in ensuring a smooth and successful transition. \[sensitive content hidden\] patience and clear communication skills made the process much less stressful for our team. He was always available to answer questions and troubleshoot any issues that arose. Cons None whatsoever. Happy with Lever thus far.

Sales Executive Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ideal solution for searching the best talent & applying fair criteria to select the best candidates" April 11, 2023 5.0 Lever provided us with an effective strategy for recruiting the best talent. The automation of Lever made it easy to job postings and receive applications, while the sorting and filtering capabilities eliminated the need to manually review resumes and applications. Additionally, Lever documented all interview and evaluation procedures transparently. Pros Our organization has found Lever to be the perfect talent acquisition solution. Lever provides intelligent functionality and automation that simplifies its usage, allowing us to easily create, edit, and publish job postings and experiences across various social media platforms, notably LinkedIn. Lever's automation feature guarantees that no suitable candidate is overlooked by automatically sorting through applications. I especially appreciate that Lever allows us to manage all stages of recruitment, share feedback and ratings about candidates transparently, and automatically document all updates on the candidate's page. Cons It's not too complicated, especially since the customization capabilities are excellent. I just hope that some restrictions are removed so we can add grades/marks during the quick review process for a large list of applicants. Review Source AL Alexander L. Lever Admin and Lead Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clean Functionality, but Major Flaws" May 20, 2018 3.0 Pros Lever has made a great many clever, intelligent design choices. For example, color coding makes for a clean UI with clear calls to action, so that when a candidate needs to be scheduled for an interview, a big blue "schedule" button appears next to their name. Cons Our company recently made a terrible discovery about some secret Lever functionality. It turns out that some our top executives have been somehow put on a secret "Suppressions List" which caused all of the messages being sent to them within Lever to be blocked. Many of these messages were time sensitive and mission critical. As a result of this "secret suppression", several top candidates bottlenecked at key points in the hiring process. After not receiving a response, many of them dropped out and extremely valuable talent was lost. So instead of accelerating our recruiting process, this suppression list functionality damaged our process. And the WORST part of all this is that Lever never once informed us about any of this. We discovered it ourselves. No one in our company was notified when our executives were added to this censor list No one in our company was ever informed that this could EVER happen No documentation or info was ever provided to us about this kind of "Suppressions List" functionality We still do not know how this Suppressions List is tracked or maintained This Suppressions List functionality is not covered in any of the Lever on boarding training with new clients This Suppressions List is not described anywhere in the Lever HELP documentation This Suppressions List is not accessible to our Lever Admins Why would any legitimate ATS company build such terrible gestapo like censorship into the bones of their product? We are still scratching our heads on this question, while we try to undo the damage that was caused Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Corporate Recruiter Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "\[sensitive content hidden\]-Is the BEST!"
