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 Paige S. Talent Systems Specialist Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Game-Changer for Hiring!" March 11, 2024 5.0 Using Lever has been transformative for our team. 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 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. Review Source Cinthia C. Talent Acquisition Sr. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best ATS Ever!!" January 26, 2022 5.0 The team has been amazing! Since the 1st contact, demos, implementation, everything has been great! Pros The integrations with LinkedIn, HackerRank, Fetcher, Slack are amazing! Cons Please give us Hiring Manager Satisfaction Surveys and improve the automation feature!!

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 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 SK Sarah K. People Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for smaller companies, but not advancing with the times" July 8, 2025 3.0 Pros Lever was a great introductory ATS for our company when we we smaller and growing, especially with a limited recruiting team. Cons Lever's functionality feels more limited than their competitors at this point. Compared to other ATS tools we're evaluating, the AI functionality is more limited, the native signature feature requires additional spend on DocuSign, and the integration with Rippling as an HRIS hasn't advanced over the years. Review Source DZ Dawn Z. Director of Talent Acquisition and Onboarding Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever review" September 4, 2024 4.0 Great! Working with \[sensitive content hidden\] throughout implementation was an excellent experience. He was so helpful, has a strong knowledge base and very service oriented. Pros Ease of implementation, reporting, easy to use and train users. Cons One unified workflow...would like to be able to have different workflows based on department. Alternatives considered [iCIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever shorter implementation, service, cost, ease of use Switched from [Jobvite](https://www.capterra.com/p/109268/Jobvite/) Poor reporting, worst customer service and drastic cost increase Review Source AN Aaron N. Principal Talent Acquisition Consultant Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game-changing ATS for either Agency or Corporate Recruitment" June 7, 2019 4.0 I've been using Lever for nearly 11 months at two different companies - initially as a super-user, and most recently had the pleasure of implementing it from scratch at the latest organization I'm consulting to. While the full version of the software mostly works while browsing using tablets, support has indicated that they only support Windows or Mac platforms. I have used most features at ease on iOS on an iPad Pro 10", and 12.9" - but certain key features fail, and responsiveness lags despite it being about 80% workable. The sales process was consistently professional and personable. At no point did I ever feel pressure from anyone in the sales organization to make a quick decision on the product as it suited their month or quarter end targets - which spoke to their interest in securing long-term clients. The thoroughness in the implementation process, train-the-trainer, and direct support in hiring manager training further assisted greatly in increasing user adoption. This wasn't just a one-off sale for them, but a long-term partnership - and am grateful to have been able to work with such a superb ATS software vendor from the selection process through post-implementation. I have and will continue to recommend them unreservedly in the future. Pros Intuitive workflows whether an expert or notice on the system. User adoption is high due to terrific UI/UX. Responsive technical support. Implementation leads that really care about the success of the implementation. Feature development and road-mapping that is responsive to end-users. Cons Lack of calendar synchronization and room availability support for enterprise users not fully on G-Suite or Office 365. Lack of SMS integration. Lack of consistent bug resolution follow-through. Lack of full support for non-desktop/laptop browsers, ie: Chrome on iOS on a 10" or 12.9" iPad Pro.

The fact that they are on the West Coast and offer support hours that align with our business was also a big win. The company's intuitive design in UI/UX, 3rd party integrations, and overall ease-of-use put them well ahead of the competition. I was further pleased to see the release of new feature sets in very short periods of time. Review Source SG Sydney G. Senior Director, Global Talent Acquisition Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to configure ATS that provides a great candidate, recruiter, and hiring manager experience" March 17, 2023 5.0 Pros User interface is very intuitive and makes it easy to navigate. As a super admin, it's been very easy to configure/change/edit the settings in all facets. The global aspects of the company are very important from a data protection perspective along with the integration APIs. If you are a data person, you will love the visual insights as well. You can slice the data any way you need to and share automated reports on a cadence you define. The integration team was also incredible....they go above and beyond to figure out any roadblocks with integration and/or process specific needs that Lever doesn't readily support. Cons We are very strict with our security settings related to email and can't enable the approval processes just yet which is disappointing. Not Lever's fault, just the nature of our business setup. It has many features, but it could use a few more visual indicators in the candidate pipeline stages when multiple people are adding notes or giving a "thumbs up or down" while reviewing to make it easier to see if action has been taken on a candidate. It would also be nice to have sorting capabilities in the pipeline stages as well.

Review Source MH Michaela H. Recruitment Operations Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smart ATS + CRM tool" March 31, 2021 4.0 We went through the implementation led by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and that was superb. Overall the customer care is strong and I like the product. There are several features that Lever should work on so it fits better organizations of a larger scale (1000+) as some of the workflows are just not granular enough. Pros \- sourcing part - integrations with other systems - the system is smart so it is limiting mistakes - reporting is strong (as the system does not allow many mistakes) Cons GDPR options are very simple, we need them more advanced as a EU based company user roles - too simple for us, again we would need to have them more granular email/interview templates - it would be great if these could be preset based on the interview name/type - it would save a lot of time to search through templates department/team set up - as this affects the entire system and automation it is very hard to set it up correctly, as we are an organization of larger scale, it is just not enough granular for us job offer approval set up - again not granular enough for us Alternatives considered [SmartRecruiters](https://www.capterra.com/p/123833/SmartRecruiters/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Lever was better fitting our business needs - strong CRM + ATS that helps with clear reporting Switched from [Jobvite](https://www.capterra.com/p/109268/Jobvite/) Jobvite did not allow keeping Job postings and requisitions separate The interface was quite old-fashioned and some tasks took way too many clicks to do Jobvite was very rigid when we needed to make any changes from the standard Review Source IE Ian E. Talent Operations Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Implementation was too easy!" March 18, 2024 5.0 Tom was our implementation specialist and he was awesome to work with, made every step of the way extremely easy and we wrapped this up very quick. Pros I have been using Lever for years and I wanted my new company to start using it instead of Greenhouse. The functionality is easier to use and it makes the day to day flow effortlessly with our TA team. Cons There are some features it is lacking that I hope they release very soon, it would make our lives a lot easier Switched from [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Greenhouse was too expensive for what the product offered Review Source GM Garima M.

Pros Lever is pretty straightforward to use. Its function is to display the resume of candidates for a job offer Cons The program in our usecase does very little from my view point. It would be easier if there was one application that would just do what the 10 individual ones do in the hiring process. Review Source JS Jeremy S. Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top Tier Product + Support" October 21, 2024 5.0 Pros The robust candidate management system, the referral management process, the interview scheduling, the overall ease of use of the system. Cons Job lists don't sync up with LinkedIn. Have to paste whole descriptions in the intro box. Not a big deal. Alternatives considered [JazzHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/87750/JazzHR/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Best value for for features needed...... Switched from [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Bamboo severely lacked features we needed. Review Source HL Heather L. Project Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data driven and dedicated " February 28, 2018 4.0 Pros We have used Lever for over 2 years, rolled out in countries across and globe and trained hundreds of hiring managers to use the system for feedback and reviewing applications. We initially chose Lever for its data and analytics, which have allowed us to automate reports and KPIs for teams in all our markets. The system is user friendly, and tools like Lever Nurture and Recommendations can help recruitment teams to find and attract more talent. Perhaps the best thing about choosing Lever is the team behind it. The system itself has rolled out many new features (requisitions, approval flows, restricting access to view sensitive information) after carefully considering feedback and suggestions, which are critical for scaling and management for large orgs. The support team is incredibly responsive to any issue and the product team is open to feedback and as transparent as possible about upcoming changes. The customer success team really goes above and beyond to understand and work through client concerns and helps to find innovative solutions to most issues. If you choose Lever and are lucky enough to work with rep - you've struck gold. I don't think I've worked with someone more focused on client satisfaction, able to make tough discussions enjoyable, and who really advocates for his clients. Cons While Lever is growing rapidly and adopting more large global clients, there still seems to be a dominance of focus on US tech startups - for example in the Partner Integrations or in offer templates (multiple options for equity and vesting options) but complex package structures can require significant customisations, which can require additional work for enterprise clients. The biggest hurdle to adopting Lever as a global enterprise solution has been concerns around data privacy of candidates and employees as it stores all data only on servers in the US. From a security standpoint, this is worrying, has made it harder to get buy in to roll out in other markets, and delayed several implementations. If you want to consider candidates outside the US, particularly in Europe and Emerging markets, it means significantly more time and checks with Legal, Compliance, and Security departments. There is also the fair concern that non US candidates may be discouraged from sharing their data if wary of surveillance and privacy rights - which are major concerns and considerations in other markets. Investing in data centres in locations that focus on protecting data privacy would make it easier (and safer) to roll out and use as a true enterprise tool. Review Source Sara Y. Operations Associate Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The most cost-effective for nonprofit organizations" January 28, 2022 5.0 In short, I really enjoy Lever and all that it has to offer. While it contain a plain applicant tracking system and the HR functions are basic---it does what it needs to, is cost-effective, and that's why it's ideal for small businesses. Pros I love that Lever offers our nonprofit organization a whole lot of recruiting and tracking opportunities without breaking our operational budget. Specifically, I like that we can add and remove teammates with ease to track specific job postings and view where the applicants are within the process. The templates for individual job creation are a huge time saver as well since we never have to reinvent the wheel each time a new position opens up. Cons Unfortunately, Lever can be a bit confusing for new folks. I dislike that you have to toggle between tabs in order to get the whole picture (number of applicants & resumes per job opening) and analyzing the talent pipeline with Lever's self-generated information can be unreliable when compared to self-reporting methods. Review Source JG James G. Director of Talent Acquisition Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RLL = Recruiters Love Lever " March 29, 2017 5.0 Pros Lever is a very intuitive product, and takes the recruiting efforts of any organization to the next level. The interface is extremely user friendly, and helps streamline candidate experience. Their Customer Success team is amazing, and they are always willing to go above and beyond for their clients. I first came across Lever when I was leading recruiting efforts at a startup called Bluecore. I was all but settled on selecting Greenhouse as our ATS, not because I thought it was better than Lever, but simply because Greenhouse was the ATS that I heard the most buzz about. Before pulling the trigger, though, I decided it would be a good idea to see what else was out there, and at least take a look at another option or two. I reached out to my Recruiter network, and my buddy at Foursquare mentioned to me that they were using Lever, and that he really liked it. I set up a demo, and the rest is history. Lever knocked the demo out of the park, and I have had an amazing relationship with the company since. When I eventually left Bluecore to become the Director of Talent at Docurated, I made sure during the interview process that I would be able to bring Lever with me. The product is continuously improving, and I look forward to being a part of the ride. Cons I don't really have anything negative to say about Lever, as I am a big proponent of all of it's functionalities. If I had to pick something, I would suggest that Lever start working with more job posting sites to enhance it's capabilities on the frontend. Blasting out job postings to Indeed and other top job sites, besides for just Glassdoor and LinkedIn (I think you can only do this if you purchase job posting slots from these sites), would be awesome. Right now I am using Built In NYC in additional to Lever to ensure I get the most bang for my buck in regards to driving inbound candidate flow. Review Source KU Karen U. Corporate Recruiter Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "New rollouts" March 16, 2020 2.0 Lever used to be a great program with lots of features, they just ruined it with the new roll out. Pros At the moment nothing is good about this software Cons Merging had been disabled. We can no longer join new and old profiles into one profile. New and existing profiles - we are no longer notified if a candidate may be a duplicate. Have you ever spoken with a candidate only to find out that they where not a good fit before? Emails do not sync properly - Gmail will not be delivered if sent through Lever. We have found that we must copy and paste the email template to Outlook in order for the recipient to even receive the email. This has been going on for almost year. Emails Part 2 - Entire threads of email conversations do not appear in Lever. They are missing so again we have to cut & paste entire conversations to place in the profile. INDEED Candidates - These candidates must be forwarded into Lever. The same process we have done for 3 yrs, now all of a sudden are forwarding a separate entry of blank information which now must be deleted. It turns out that if you have an image in your signature on your email that is what creates the blank entry. SO if you have a logo, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter logo expect a blank entry. Customer Service told us we were doing it wrong. No their rollout was the most stupid thing we have ever worked with. Different pipeline stages for different jobs makes no sense. You have 1 profile, you can have many jobs associated with that profile, you can have many hiring mangers for that 1 profile, they do not need to be all over the place. Review Source EZ Ed Z. Senior Recruiter Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Strong ATS Platform" June 22, 2017 5.0 Lever is the 7th ATS that I have used professionally and I have demoed many others, it is one of the best out there. We went through our selection process a year ago and ended up demoing 13 ATS providers and they were the best for our needs. We couldn't be happier with Lever and plan on being a long-time customer. Pros \-Great UI/UX-very intuitive and easy to use -Good tracking capabilities: Can create unique URLs, each employee has a unique social/employee referral link, you can drop a Google Analytics tag, and can embed tracking pixels -Easy to get buy-in across the organization -Adds efficiency to the recruiting team saving recruiters and coordinators time in our day to day. We had to do a ton of manual work with our last ATS. -High engagement: Many of our team members weren't a big fan of our previous ATS and now they have turned into power users -Chrome Extension and integrations with other sourcing tools to be able to easily import candidates into Lever to manage the pipeline -Gmail and Google Calendar integration so you can do everything from one platform and not have to continually go back and forth when communicating and scheduling candidates -They are continually upgrading their software as we have been a customer less than a year and have seen many new beneficial releases -Have a CRM product(Lever Nurture) -Great support from initial contact through implementation -During the sales process, they really took the time to understand our business and recruiting processes -Easy to create customized reports -Tons of partner integrations -Streamlined and easy implementation process Cons \-Doesn't have automated social referral distribution. Employees can't schedule their job posts via social, they need to do it manually each time through Lever. -They don't have Live Chat for customer service -When setting up your job application, if you choose to have a resume as required then the 'Apply with LinkedIn' is pointless. If they 'Apply with LinkedIn' then they still need to upload a resume. Unfortunately, 'Apply with LinkedIn' doesn't cover the resume requirement. Review Source MO Michelle O. Talent Acquisition Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Attentive implementation" March 17, 2023 5.0 The experience has been positive. Changing a new system can be very overwhelming. Lever goes the extra mile to make sure your team is trained and taken care of. We had an amazing Implementation Specialist named \[sensitive content hidden\] who maintained a very friendly and positive disposition through out our months of training. He was very helpful and excellent representative of Lever. I Pros Love the interviews tab under "candidates". Its so easy to see who is in your pipeline. I also love the clock icon that lets you know when your candidate has gone cold. Cons Having the capability to have multiple Reqs for the same job title would be really helpful. Perhaps having the ability to add additional budget IDs would help solve this problem? Reason for choosing Lever Reporting Review Source IC Ivo C.

This is a tool critical for the entire company. Not only for recruitment and talent acquisition but is a platform that makes relations between teams closer. Lever elevates the quality and impact on every single person evolved with Sword, outside and inside. My favorite tool is the add-on in Google Chrome.
