Senior HR consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good ATS for high volume" April 9, 2024 4.0 Pros The ability to search for candidates and the way we can apply filters Cons Lever have a lot of possibility and might not be always user friendly. Review Source JN Jean N. Talent Consultant Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lever works great needs more functional features" August 19, 2021 4.0 Works well more integrated functionality Pros I think it works well. More processes could be automated. A few broken links that could make for easier user experience. Cons Integration with other apps would be nice Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Quality Director consultant Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Keep everything in one place!" December 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Before Lever, I was using a manual spreadsheet to track candidates and their interview status. But now with Lever, I don't need to do this anymore. Lever notifies me each time I need to pay attention. It is great. Cons There is a lot of emails that comes from Lever any time someone makes a comment or change. Review Source SA Sophie A. Chief of Staff Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quality ATS, though not the most user friendly" December 29, 2020 4.0 Using Lever has been a good experience for our team overall - it's centralized all of our recruiting operations in a single platform, making it easier to track candidates and hire them! Pros Lever has all of the features you would expect in an ATS - an easy to set up careers page, configurable roles and permissions, feedback forms, customizable steps in the interview process, scheduling, and more. Cons New team members often find it unintuitive to figure out how to add feedback. I also don't like the lack of formatting options in the feedback text boxes - for example, bullets copied in from a Word or Google Doc are lost, resulting in garbled text.

You can also extend offer letters directly through lever, making it a one stop shop for recruiters & managers looking to fill new positions within the company. Pros My company uses lever to track new candidates for hire with collecting resume info, keeping track of interview stages, and having interviewers provide feedback on candidate and whether to move to the next steps. I liked the ability to enter my interview notes directly in the platform and see how others rated & commented on my potential new hires. I also liked that I could review incoming candidates and mark any that I wanted to phone screen or disqualify. I could ping my recruiter directly in the profile for next steps on each candidate. Cons I feel like it is a bit clunky and I often had to dig around to find all the new candidate info coming in. I am not sure if this was how the recruiting team managed the tool, but candidates were not always properly updated or archived if they weren't a fit, so I would spend time reviewing resumes & trying to promote them to phone interviews only to find out they weren't active candidates and should have been archived. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Registered In House Counsel In California Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better than most, but room for improvement" May 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The amount of information that it pulls into one convenient tab is very helpful to get a snapshot of the candidates you are reviewing for open positions. I really like that it has both the resume as submitted and a simplified version without formatting so you can focus on the key elements that are important for your interview. I also like the review section that gathers feedback from the various people who interview the candidate. Cons For the price point I think this product as about as competitive as other similarly priced options and needs more to make it stand out. Everything works fine but it navigating the various screens and tabs can get overwhelming when you're looking for specific info. I don't find the search function particularly useful except to search for specific candidates by name. Review Source MV Margot V. Resource Planning Analyst Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool to promote upskilling and career development, " September 4, 2023 4.0 I have used Lever as an employer and employee and it's a great tool. Pros Lever is a great tool to promote upskilling and career development. Its interface guaranteed a great visibility to all candidates looking for a new role or the next step in their career. Cons Lever is like most platform, you get the result proportionately to the efforts and information you put in. So make sure you give enough details for the platform to be useful to your employees. Review Source MC Matt C. Talent Acquisition Lead Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic Product and great support team " January 24, 2022 5.0 Pros The product is really intuitive and easy to use. I like the workflows that it features, the candidate-centric vs. task centric way in which the product is build, and when things occasionally do go wrong, the customer support team is incredibly responsive. Cons Not much. I wish that the product offered some kind of interview team resource center where people could go to access various documents related to the position that they are interviewing for. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use ATS with beautiful reports and convenient integrations" June 7, 2018 5.0 Pros The pipeline reporting tools have all the metrics that we need. Also, the email templates make responding to lots of applicants bearable. Cons Programmatic api access is limited, making it difficult for us to customize it for our specific automation needs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director, People Operations Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome Experience" July 30, 2021 5.0 Pros Awesome candidate and recruiter-centric features and reporting out of the box, and automation/customization to make the workflow smoother and faster. Great implementation and training experience as well, was able to get the platform live in a compressed amount of time. Support team is responsive and helpful. Great knowledge base to use during implementation and post go-live. Cons TBD - still early with the platform. There’s some product feedback shared aleady to improve candidate scheduling, agency portal and other workflow but the team’s receptive and we’re hopeful to seeing improvements soon! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Recruitment Marketing Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Over-marketed, over-priced ATS with no basic functionality" November 27, 2018 3.0 Pros There are some neat features like Lever Nurture which allows you to create small email drip campaigns to potential candidates. Some flexibility and ability to scale with requisitions and job postings. Cons Overbloated with advanced features and integrations with none of the basic ones. Support would sometimes not respond or take days to respond. I don't know how large companies scale with this software. Review Source MS Mahara S. team lead E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best tool for recruitment " November 30, 2022 5.0 For HR services and recruitment its a best software for executing the activates. We have already crossed 5000+ interviews using this software and working fine. Pros We use it majorly for internal job referrals. Its very easy for the user to refer a person and our HR feel easy to track it down for interview & onboarding. Cons Referee has to be update after filling form as automation, but some times automation mail is not delivered. Review Source TC Teresa C. Talent Acquisition Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product, easy implementation. " February 2, 2022 5.0 Overall, really positive experience and have received very positive feedback from the business (including hiring managers who typically have not used our old ATS). Great implementation with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] who was our Implementation Specialist - he provided a high level of support. Pros Ease of use by everyone in the business. Smart features such as resume parsing, calendar integration and interview scheduling. Cons Minimum time between meetings using the 'Easy book' link could be included so that meetings can't be booked back to back. Review Source VS Vanessa S. Director, Talent Acquisition Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Completely changed our experience " April 4, 2018 4.0 Overall, I’m pleased that we made the transition. Pros Both the candidate experience exponentially improved and the hiring managers love being in the system and having access to potential hires. On the recruitment side : Lever is pretty intuitive. Functionality and features are similar to social media sites you’re likely already using. The turn around time for implementation was pretty impressive given the nature of our organization’s federated model. The team is helpful and accessible throughout implementation. Transitioning into support was bitter sweet but the team has been just as great. The system doesn’t have everything we want but the Lever team does make a concerted effort to solution with us on other options or discussing whether it can be put on the road map. Cons Reporting could use some enhancements. We have multiple instances that we had created for our organization but there isn’t a way that allows for insight into all of them from a macro perspective. Review Source Lauren K. People Operations Advisor Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lever Review" October 29, 2018 4.0 We are a small to medium sized Australian tech company and we recently implemented Lever. I could not praise CSR our Implementation Specialist enough for all the help she gave us throughout the implementation. As Lever is a US company CSR was on a different time zone to Australia but was always there to help no matter what time of day it was. Lever itself is a fantastic ATS, their API is robust so it integrates with lots of other tools. It is a simple system to use with good UX. The only con I would have is that it is focused on the US market more so than Australia. Pros \-Simplicity -Ease of use -Good customer support -Good integration API -Great reporting functionality. Cons \-More suited to US market - doesnt integrate with alot of Australian systems. -Although it integrates with Seek you still have to post the advert in Seek so it doubles up the work.

September 25, 2021 3.0 Pros Pretty easy process, templates are quick to use. No issues with moving candidates, fast ways to view all your candidates. Cons Only works on chrome? So might be missing some candidates. Review Source Response from Employ December 8, 2022 We recommend using Lever on Chrome. Lever is also supported on Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

Pros Configuring Reports is very easy. It's also an easy tool to roll out company wide Cons The tool is not intuitive, email confirmations are a bit manual as it can't populate the dates and times of interviews Review Source MW Michele W. Recruiter Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty good system" January 11, 2018 4.0 Pros It is easy to use and configure. The interface is pretty intuitive and it was easy for hiring managers to use without much training. Cons I felt there were some tradeoffs on configuration options to increase simplicity and ease of use. One example is that there are only a few basic mail merge tags available for creating for commonly used email templates (like interview confirmations). As a result you have to type in some of the information manually. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Talent Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lever Review" December 14, 2018 1.0 I use Lever as the Head of Talent for a start up in San Francisco. Pros Lever Nurture Campaign is a great tool to create automated recruiting drip email campaigns. This is not a tool you can find in Greenhouse Cons Terrible UI, just shades of grey. The workflow isn't intuitive. Its not customizable at all. You have to get someone in support to change some of the fields in your scorecard. Review Source David A. K. Talent Consultant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smooth Implementation Process" April 20, 2018 5.0 Pros The well-planned implementation process made Lever a smooth transition from our old ATS, Jobvite. The Lever team was extremely responsive and detailed in helping integrate Lever into our unique recruitment process. All the recommendations for best-practices in Lever have been very helpful for our start-up company based in Kenya! Our Implementation Specialist was very accommodating to our time-zone difference and unique international needs. Cons There are tons of awesome integrations of other platforms (Google suite, DocuSign, etc.) into the Lever system. Sometimes these integrations take quite some-time to understand and customize to our recruitment needs. However, once they're customized they work great!

Head of Talent Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "M-KOPA Review " December 20, 2021 5.0 Automation of our end-to-end process, which was previously highly manual. This brings huge efficiency saving as well as improved visibility for all involved Pros Intuitive system, speedy implementation team, fantastic support throughout the process, and an overall amazing experience for recruitment team and hiring managers a like. Lever has revolutionized our process end to end and brought better visibility and consistency at a global level to the way we acquire top talent Cons Relatively minor issue with the way the scheduling function is configured to create double invites for interviewers and candidates - this quickly blocks up our recruitment team's calendar Reason for choosing Lever Overall capability and service level Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Esports Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lever is a very handy recruitment tool, for large corporations and recruitment agencies" October 31, 2019 4.0 I wish I had discovered Lever years ago, when I was still operating my own recruitment agency. Nowadays, I'm limited in its use (being just a "Hiring Manager"), but from what I can see, recruiters and HR people in my company are quite happily relying on Level - as I'm sure with it you don't risk to forget anything (something that happens quite often in traditional recruitment agencies or large companies which have not upgraded their sourcing/recruiting tools to 2020 standards!) Pros I like how easy it is to keep track of job vacancies, candidates referrals and scheduled interviews. Lever makes the life of recruiters much easier, being able to save lot of time and getting rid of endless spreadsheets or old-fashion paperwork. Cons You need sometime before getting used to Lever settings (like to understand "what to find" and "where"). But once you get it, especially with a look at its documentation, it will be easier for everyone keeping track of any progress, keeping track of candidates and job openings.
