I like the easy book links that allow you to create self-booking links for candidates. The simple resume review interface and workflow will enable you to save a rejection reason and use it until you select a new one. And then perhaps the ease of creating email templates would be another perk.

It was the first ATS for our company. We considered it in the first place due to pricing and the size of the company; we were a start-up and did not need a massive ATS. I have used it for about 3 years now.

It's not very customizable; you have to email support to have them customize your rejection reasons. With the different levels, you get other reporting options. The base level does not include many built-in reports, so you must export data for analysis. Lack of luster support: we never had any check-ins with our rep, and it was impossible to get a quick reply from the help center there.

It was inexpensive for us at the time compared to all the other quotes we got. It is very user-friendly, quick, and straightforward. The only drawback of that, then, is the customization.

How long will it suit your needs? How much hiring do you plan to do? Does it integrate with your other tools and systems? What is the yearly increase and cost per user increase?

I have not seen much change with Lever recently.

I would say it is best for a small organization. It is less complex than Greenhouse, so it could be suitable for a company looking to get something set up for a small team or self-sufficient managers.

• Lever's interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to use.
• It's very collaborative and allows you to tag hiring managers and recruiters, and write notes around resumes and candidates for quick highlights.
• It has robust reporting capabilities to get the reports and metrics showing how well your team is doing, or where the funnel is catching for a job.

We were originally doing and organizing interviews via Excel and Google Docs, and were getting to a point where that was not the best solution. Initially, we utilized Lever as our main ATS to build out more optimized interviewing and recruiting processes. I've personally used it at 2 separate companies for a total of about 2.5 years. The key benefits it provides are the easy-to-use interface, the customizability of the user interface for applications, the easy-to-use screening tools and notes section, the privacy settings, and the affordability. It's an affordable ATS that helps you organize, understand recruiting metrics, and recruit easily.

• Lever’s integration options with third-party HRISs were not great, specifically with Paylocity or Rippling. It would be nice to see a more robust integration in which candidates would only have to input important contact information once throughout the whole process.
• Technical bugs/issues would happen specifically with the scheduling tool, so manual back and forth was usually the most reliable way to set the scheduling. It would be nice for them to partner with a great scheduling vendor.
• Lack of customizability. There wasn't a lot you could do around customizing the look and logo of job boards and such, it was very minimal. It would be nice to be able to customize a bit more.

Overall, Lever is definitely high up there. I would rate it second to Greenhouse. It's a much more affordable option with similar functionalities. Lever is the best for an up and coming start-up that values collaboration and has multiple people working on roles.

• Budget - Your budget is definitely important in making the decision. Lever is probably the best choice in the affordability category.
• Integrations - It's important to think about what you want your ATS to integrate into ( Usually an HRIS or payroll system). Lever may not integrate with all, so it is definitely important to take a look to make sure that it does.
• Reporting - Know what metrics are important to your team and org. Lever can help build the reports you need.
• Customization - If you want to customize the look of your job boards, you'll have very limited customization. but for the price, it's not too shabby!

Their customer service wait times have gotten significantly better. Also their user interface and usability evolves pretty quickly.

If your requisition load for roles does not exceed 50, Lever is a great fit. Most companies probably won't hit 50 until down the road. Until then, it's a great tool!

1. The tool is incredibly user-friendly and is optimized for collaboration and communication, both internally and externally.

2. It has an intuitive dashboard that makes it easy to manage and track applicants’ progress throughout the recruitment process.

3. The tool has powerful filters and search capabilities, making it easy to qualify job seekers quickly and accurately.

4. Lever has many automation capabilities, including interview scheduling, email campaigns, and even candidate sourcing.

We chose Lever because of its user-friendly interface. It has the ability to easily track, maintain, and analyze all hiring data. The different tools also help streamline the entire hiring process. Lever's reporting capabilities also provide insight into sourcing efforts. This enables us to identify areas for improvement. The archive tool is also great for keeping a pool of talent.

1. Price, may not be affordable for every company.

2. Many tools are useless for a very small business.

3. The interface might look boring to some people.

It is more user-friendly. Everything is tracked in the same place. The system begins to become intuitive as the project goes on. It integrates with other platforms, such as LinkedIn.

1. Do you need all of the tools? 2. Will you be hiring continuously, or only for a few roles?

Yes - the interface became more user-friendly, and it becomes more intuitive as it "learns" about the types of candidates you approve.
