Director of Talent Used the software for: ### "An ATS even your engineers and C-levels will love to use! " September 23, 2015 5.0 When I started here I was the 10th employee and we brought on The Resumator (now Jazz) as it was very affordable. The problem was that my hiring managers never used it and refused to leave notes/comments. Although the system was "pretty", it wasn't built for a company like ours where developers will flat out ignore a tool that isn't built well. Knowing the system is only as good as the information that's added, it was important for me to have my hiring managers' buy-in to encourage their note taking and comments. Lever was the unanimous selection. We have now grown to 80 employees and the proof is in the use of the tool. I've never seen hiring managers and recruiters so responsive and thorough in their use of an ATS before. If you want pretty colors and flashing lights, this isn't the tool for your company. If you want a seamless process and architecture that even your developers will appreciate, without spending a fortune, Lever is by far the best option. Pros: \*integrates with Namely (our HRIS), Slack and other tools \*The @ feature is amazing for communication \*Reports are robust \*our Account Manager Andrew has been a huge help Cons: \*the calendar sync is a bit wonky. It adds 3 invites which has made our calendars very busy. \*the email templates do not generate a signature \*the Lever extension still hasn't worked for us with Stack Overflow or Indeed.

I wish their customer support was better and that they had a mobile app. Compared to other ATS's out there, it's one of the better ones, though. Pros Lever is very easy to use and has a nice UI. I really love the Nurture feature which allows me to send emails on behalf of my colleagues. Cons The customer service support is not great. More often than not reps aren't available or able to answer my questions right away. The reporting UI leaves a lot to be desired, and there also isn't a snapshot of all candidates in one place.

Talent Acquisition Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "easy to use but my wishlist for features grow longer" April 13, 2018 4.0 excited to see how Lever continues to improve and evolve. Pros simple interface, well organized, responsive team.overall a great product with lots of areas for future development Cons can be buggy, esp. with permissions wishlist: more email features (bulleted emails) integration with Entelo more permission levels more functionality w/auto scheduling ability to store docs within the position for easy communication Review Source MG Mollie G. Customer Success Team Lead Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lever is amazing!" December 6, 2022 5.0 Pros I adore using this software for hiring candidates. It allows my team to be able to hire the best candidates. Cons I love this product the only con i see is that its hard to edit once you post your review Review Source DY Diana Y. COO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great value with amazing support" April 12, 2017 5.0 We've been with Lever for two years and the platform has only gotten better. Lever has allowed us to streamline our hiring process and save me a significant amount of time. They also have fully featured reporting which allows for you to dig deep into what is working and what is not in your hiring process. The platform itself offers the perfect amount of customization for me and my team, we're able to configure it (with the help of our amazing integration specialist) in a way that works best for us. Review Source Sylvia L. Director, Human Resources Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever - Best ATS on the market!" September 11, 2018 5.0 I am the sole HR person for my company. Lever allows me to effectively source, recruit and hire. Plus, i am able to manage my recruiting process and save time. Pros Easy Book Links so that you eliminate the back and forth of scheduling candidates for interviews. Cons I cannot think of anything. The Customer Success team is the best I've ever experienced. Review Source AJ AMBICA J. Growth Manager Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product" July 30, 2020 4.0 Great product! We use it to track 10,000 applicants every year for our cohort, and manage relationships with 1000s of potential applicants globally. Pros I love the ease of use, the simplicity, the ability to configure it to our needs. Also the team is fantastic!! Cons I wish there were more automations, and I wish we could customise how easy book links work (so it is similar to Calendly) Review Source Lesa E. Head of Recruiting Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever is a fantastic tool for seasoned recruiters and their teams." September 19, 2017 5.0 Pros Lever is fast, and full of functionality to automate many of the repetitive tasks associated with the interview and hiring process. Cons There is no dashboard just for Coordinators, and no way to track tasks assigned to Coordinators. It would also be great if we could customize every question on the scorecards. Review Source Darya B. Senior Corporate Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome platform!" May 18, 2016 5.0 We've been using Lever at Distil for a little over a year and I cannot imagine ever transitioning to another ATS. Lever is very easy to use, it's intuitive and sleek. Best thing is - even our hiring managers and tech guys love using it! The only advise I would give them is keep doing what you are doing! Pros Ease of use, intuitive UI, great integrations, fantastic customer support. Cons reporting could be a little better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "super simple and needs minimal setup time" October 2, 2020 5.0 Pros setting lever up was super simple, effective, and almost instantaneous. also - i had the best customer rep experience :) Cons the software lacks granular customization - e.g. for scorecards you can't rank a candidate from a quantitative score - it's just a scale from 1-4 Review Source JG Jas G. Human Resources Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product " October 27, 2021 5.0 Pros I enjoy its ease of set up and usage. My org had never used an ATS system before but was able to pick up on lever easily Cons It's not even that I dislike this feature, I just wish it was better. What I like the least is the fact that there in no universal tagging system Review Source AG Adam G. Sr. People Operations Associate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever provides a solution" November 3, 2017 4.0 I enjoy the product a lot and am extremely happy with our choice to purchase Lever. Pros The integration features that Lever has with Google is GREAT! It makes the syncing of emails, schedules, and feedback pretty much seamless. Cons There are some little glitches when the initial sync happens that should be discussed more during the implementation process. Regarding the syncing capabilities, certain features need to be turned on / off in Gsuite. We were not aware of this and some work from our IT department needs to happen. In addition, the scheduling feature should be updated so that the invites are created better = 1 invite that has the feedback and only goes to the interviewer and the other one goes to both to the interviewer and candidate. Right now they are separate emails and, for us, this is a problem as we use Google Hangouts and the invites create separate links to the hangout. Review Source Florence B. VP Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love using Lever to find our talent" January 21, 2021 5.0 Superb! 10 out of 10! Pros I love how it's now so easy to review lots of candidates at speed. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, drawing in the right information that you need on candidates. Easy to collaborate with other co-workers on vacancies. Great UX! Cons I love Lever. It makes it easy to be efficient in the recruitment process and it saves us time and ensures a great candidate experience. Review Source EH Edward H. VP Ops Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We were able to implement Lever in a week and get a dozen hiring managers up and going the next week" November 17, 2017 5.0 Fast implementation and excellent candidate management! Pros The software is easy to implement, it is easy to train hiring managers how to use, it is easy to configure, it is just easy. With a candidate-centric view of the world, it allows us to easily shift candidates from one potential role to another, or no role at all, and still be able to keep track of them. The integration with Google Enterprise Calendars and Mail makes scheduling phone calls and interviews incredibly easy, and the calendar events have links to the forms we set up to capture interview information. E-Mail templates, including links to allow candidates to schedule their own interviews, are easy to use and have fields that are auto-populated from the candidates' information. Cons There are still some glitches in the e-mail templates as far as what the sender sees, but it is fine for what the recipient sees. Review Source EL Emily L. Supervisor, Recruiting Coordination Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product with some bugs" June 19, 2018 4.0 Pros \- There are so many features and 2018 has so far come with more improvements and tools - keep it up! - Our CSM, Chelsea is A M A Z I NG. Really the bees knees. She is quick to respond, knows the product in and out, and if she doesn't I'm confident she will find out and report back. Cons \- There are so many features that many times usability is not intuitive. There are many help articles out there but many times we have a specific problem to our system, and digging through the many hyperlinks/videos takes too much time Review Source Elizabeth M. Sales Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful, but not interactive" December 6, 2019 4.0 I don't use it often, but I do like to use it to monitor status as well as send referral options to my contacts. Pros I love the ability to share links & custom tracking for referrals so that our team can be in tune with where applicants are coming from. Cons The mobile site is really limited -I always have to go back to the main page to view the desktop version. Review Source RA Rakan A. Marketplace and Talent Director Translation and Localization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever review" July 4, 2019 4.0 Gave us the ability to gather every resource in a single place with all their details, CV, notes, Email threads and communication. The fact that if you're approaching hundred of candidates at any given point in time, the flow is automated and moves each candidate from one stage to another. This really helped us ensure nothing falls between the cracks or that we missed a chance to reach out to a great candidate. Pros Allowed us to scale our global talent pool in an organized manner while automating the entire process, from gathering details, reaching out to candidates, vetting/testing and eventually assigning recruits to current ongoing projects. Cons Support is set to fixed working hours/days, should be 24/7 in consideration of timezone differences for the MENA region. Review Source ER Emily R. EA to the C-Team Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the tags!" August 16, 2017 5.0 Pros Name your tags - it's so easy to categorize one or many candidates, making finding them again a breeze! Cons That I can not redact information from resumes, so as to remove unconscious bias from reviewers..... Review Source Brian L. Implementation Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thank You" December 7, 2022 5.0 Pros How easy it is to use. We are also able to track our referrals as well. Cons None that I can think of. The Software is easy to use. Review Source AB Alyssa B. Director, Talent Development Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love Lever!" March 24, 2020 4.0 It has really helped our company organize the hiring process. I have multiple hiring managers utilizing it and they love it as well. Pros I love how Lever keeps track of all candidates from different platforms. It is easy to use and track the whole interview process all the way to the offer stage. I love the reports section where you can see all of the data within your hiring process. Cons Cannot add images to email signature. Cannot merge candidates if they applied more than once. Alternatives considered [Betterworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/157070/BetterWorks/) Reason for choosing Lever More value for the money Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales and Strategic Partnerships Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "no real differentiator" August 23, 2019 3.0 Pros Lever is a good product that gets the job done. Cons there isn't really a differentiator that sets them apart from the competition Review Source LS Lindsey S. Senior Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best" October 25, 2017 4.0 Customer Support and Implementation Team has been really phenomenal, so quick, and really on top it! Pros Before Lever, our hiring process was tracked manually and no one was submitting feedback. We now have a process in place and a tool that offers speed and scalability. We love how customizable it is and that it syncs with LinkedIn and Google Calendars. Lever helps collaborative hiring, aligns key stakeholders – recruiters, hiring managers, leadership, and interviewers – around the hiring process to make it move as rapidly and effectively as possible. Now all employees can identify, engage, and hire the best talent with the speed and agility that comes from having everyone on the same page. Cons A few little things that need updates. - Having to change the subject line of a calendar invite everytime you reschedule - The job description template page is not customizable Review Source LG Lynn G. HR Coordinator Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing ATS: Lever!" March 8, 2018 5.0 Pros \*Top notch customer service. Lever reps always solve problems quickly and effectively. \*Excellent functionality for recruiting and HR purposes. \*Integrates with numerous other programs used for HR. \*Lever is always coming out with new ways to improve their product. \*Great product for the money you are paying. Review Source PL Patrick L. Technical Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever has been a huge help in streamlining our hiring process, from sourcing to hiring." January 9, 2018 5.0 Streamlined interviewing, more efficient communication within our team, more specific feedback from hiring managers after interviews, easier sourcing through chrome extension and nurture/email integration. Pros Lever Nurture has been a huge help; starting an email campaign and forgetting it let's me consistently move forward to find more candidates. The scheduling process has been improved too through Lever's calendar integration, and note tagging. Note tagging and email integration has helped our team communicate more effectively regarding the hiring process. Cons I've run into a few bugs, but they've all quickly been resolved through the support team. I have had some persistent alerts telling me to complete feedback, and I would like to see an easier way to dismiss those alerts (most frequently, I'm not completing feedback because a candidate didn't answer the phone for a scheduled interview). Review Source GJ Geetika J. HR Coordinator Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New Lever User" September 28, 2021 4.0 Great ATS and user friendly. Pros user friendly and great inbuilt features from start to hire, recruiting and scheduling purposes. Cons DocuSign integration doesn't work very well with our new hire documentation.
