"Lever is user friendly and has greatly simplified my team's hiring process."
What do you like best about Lever?

It handles almost like a CRM, allowing you to ensure no candidates are falling through the cracks. The stages at the top of the screen give you an overall snapshot of each role's progression, which is super helpful from a recruiting standpoint when you're handling multiple reqs. Last but not least, all contributors can see necessary information based on their access level without contacting a team member for an update (referral status, req approval stage, candidate pipeline, interview feedback, etc.)

What do you dislike about Lever?

Overall it's an amazing ATS, but my biggest qualms are the candidate profile merging feature and the insights/reporting feature. You have the ability to merge candidate profiles (to avoid dupes) if they've applied for multiple opportunities, but you can't merge them within the same opportunity. This becomes an issue because candidates often apply after they're referred or apply twice to fix a resue error. This is minor, but still an issue that comes up daily. The reporting/insights feature has a lot of potential and I love the visuals, but I think lever is still working out a few kinks here. After those are resolved, I think this will be super beneficial to my team.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to have a fairly manual process across multiple platforms, but now we only have to use lever because it includes all of the features of the multiple platforms we used prior.

"Great for Hiring Managers"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever makes the full recruiting process easy and collaborative for recruiters, hiring managers and other key stakeholders. This is a major step up from using hacky workarounds to track applicants. I love the email integration and ability to have templates for emails.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I often have to re-authenticate my email (seems to be a daily occurance) or my emails to not sync with Lever. I would love it if email integration didn't expire so quickly.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lever's use of feedback and notes helps foster the much-needed collaboration between the various stakeholders throughout the recruiting process. This is very beneficial for my team and I because we are all remote.

"Very easy to work with!"
What do you like best about Lever?

You can track your applications without having to use a referral on an application it's easy to use through the links. You can track referrals way easier and it's an easy process.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I just get confused about the process a little bit it doesn't explain what archive is with social referrals

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

It just helps when you were trying to get someone to apply they just click on the link and it's linked to you instead of having them put you down as a referral on the application.

"Great Platform for tracking and progressing as Hiring Manager"
What do you like best about Lever?

Tracking, Workflow and also the different buckets that can be tracked. I like the security feature that within the same case/candidate, you can control visibility based on a role within the same case/candidate.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Duplicate profile tagging to different roles adds a lot of admin cleanup activity. There should be a filter mechanism or aggregation mechanism to reduce the admin efforts.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the hiring manager, I like the platform a lot, and it benefits in 3 significant things 1. Tracking the JDs and Role Roles, and pipelines 2. Candidate tagging and overall workflow 3. Scheduling and initiating meeting invites and tracking notes on the particular profile.

"Good portal to track you referals and job portal."
What do you like best about Lever?

The platform, how we can track the applicants, and the opportunities in one place.

What do you dislike about Lever?

It lags a little sometimes. It does not update the status as and when edited by the administrator.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to see the opportunities open at the organisation and we can refer the candidates on lever. This way it becomes a single platform where we can see the status of the applicant and the open positions.

"Great platform"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever is extremely intuitive to use, and gives the opportunity to refer candidates and comment on their relationship to you as well as how they would fit in with the firm.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Within Lever, it seems as if I have only referred one candidate, when in reality I have referred two. Both candidates have also received and accepted offers with my company. It would be great to see how candidates are progressing from each interview to the offer acceptance.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lever is helping keep track of candidate referrals as well as highlight their competencies to the recruiting team at my company. It is great to have a formal process for doing so.

"Can't Work without Lever!"
What do you like best about Lever?

Lever helps us keep track of everything we do on the daily. Our team likes to call it the "one source of truth", because we can go back and refer to where our candidates are at, and move them seamlessly in the interview stages.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I do think that sometimes Lever glitches here and there. Multiple people have had some problems in the past, but the customer success people were able to help us resolve those cases.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lever keeps track of who responded, the reasoning, and the interview stages that the candidates are in. It helps our team keep track of everything and keep things organized/

It can be further simplified by having the feature to pull information from the resume.

Lever keeps the UI clean and easy to understand where to navigate depending on what you are trying to achieve both from the perspective of a hiring manager and someone who is just trying to refer a candidate.

What do you dislike about Lever?

There's no way to attach links/photos to the interview instructions section

"Lever has streamlined our Hiring Process tremendously!"
What do you like best about Lever?

All of Lever's Integrations! The integrations help boost our efficiency, streamline our processes, and minimize the platforms that we need to use. It's fantastic!

What do you dislike about Lever?

The initial set-up tasks took much longer than expected. Building offer templates was also confusing initially, but our Lever Rep, Sabrina, was very helpful in walking us through and answering any questions.

What problems is Lever solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining our recruiting/hiring/onboarding process. The calendar integrations with EasyBook links, the variety of templates, and the internal noting + communication system are extremely beneficial!

Nothing I can thing of. The platform works just fine. I have never really experienced a problem with Lever.
