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 GC Genesis C. Talent and Retention Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Applicant Tracking System " May 14, 2025 5.0 Very positive. Working with \[sensitive content hidden\] on the implementation of our new system was a great experience. He led the project with clarity, organization, and consistent support. \[sensitive content hidden\] kept everything on track, communicated effectively, and made sure the team felt informed and involved at every step. His calm, solutions-focused approach helped us navigate challenges smoothly, and his dedication played a big role in the successful rollout. I truly appreciated his leadership and would gladly work with him again. Pros User-friendly and easily organizes my recruitment process. Cons Inability to customize colors.

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 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.

Its easy to manage everything on one place Pros Interface is simple and easy to navigate Cons Some addon notifications on req assignments to recruiters would be helpful to add and reporting dashboard has several confusing fields Alternatives considered [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever Features and ease of use and data management Switched from [SAP SuccessFactors HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/144575/SuccessFactors-Perform-and-Reward/) Wanted more modern and collabrative tool Review Source JJ James J.

" 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.

Cons However, the unified pipeline presents challenges, as it forces us to include certain steps only relevant in specific regions. This setup requires HR to manually manage candidate movement through each stage, as delegating this to hiring managers could lead to confusion with steps unique to certain countries, potentially complicating the hiring process.

Head of Talent Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lever is a Great ATS for Any Start-up! " July 12, 2022 4.0 Over the last 9 years I've used Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, Taleo, Breezy, and Jobvite. Lever is hands-down my number 1 pick for its ease of use, its user interface, countless integrations, and efficient workflow. Lever has also been improving their reporting and analytics making their software a perfect fit for any start-up from a 10 person pre-series A to a 400 person series D/E company. Pros Lever was easy to implement (I had it up and running in less than 24 hours), the career page can be integrated with your current website quickly, the scorecards are fully customizable, and the ATS does a nice job at tracking candidates throughout the process. Cons At the moment, a user cannot edit the interview stages without submitting a ticket to Lever. I hope they change this in the near future. Alternatives considered [Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Lever User interface, scheduling workflow, reporting and analytics, integrations, and ease of use for my hiring managers. 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.

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 Hire](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.

Implementation was very easy and the support team was great. Pros I really enjoyed user Lever. It has tons of features for DE&I. Our managers loved using it as well and it really streamlined our recruiting efforts. Scheduling through the Office integration was also great. Cons Compared to others, Lever was pricey but we felt it was worth it. The software runs very smoothly, never had an issues, and was very easy to use. Top of our budget but we got what we paid for in my opinion.

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 RP Ryan P.

Pros Moving from a manual Google process to Lever's intuitive interface, which makes navigating through the platform effortless. Its user-friendly interface, powerful features, and excellent customer support make it an indispensable tool for any organization looking to streamline their hiring process. Cons Our implementation specialist, \[sensitive content hidden\], was pleasant and helpful along the way in the implementation process which is a bit daunting but the results are well worth the initial set up time.

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 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.

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 MC Maria C. 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!"
