Lever

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

While Lever is generally user-friendly, there’s a bit of a learning curve, especially when diving into the more advanced features and customizations.

Vorteile

The platform is incredibly easy and simple to use. Our hiring managers like the ease and simplicity of being able to review applicants efficiently (quickly). Also having the ability to pull a candidate into the candidate pool if the recruiter didn't include them.

Nachteile

Not ideal for very large corporations who need a more robust solution.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Its super easy to use and great for tracking candidate pipeline. Simple for new hiring managers to understand and navigate

Nachteile

Its has the least functionality of all the modern ATS, it doesn't have much places where you can customize compared to Greenhouse, Ashby, etc.

Vorteile

Easy to use and generally intuitive. Functionality was well thought out.

Nachteile

Sometimes lacked the necessary functionality and integrations necessary to make it 100% effective.

Vorteile

What we appreciated most about Lever is its flexibility in data and privacy management, adapting well to the specific requirements of different countries.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Lever is pretty straightforward to use. Its function is to display the resume of candidates for a job offer

Nachteile

The program in our usecase does very little from my view point. It would be easier if there was one application that would just do what the 10 individual ones do in the hiring process.

Vorteile

User-friendly and very cost-efficient, good visual insights.

Nachteile

Only con is some of the user access settings.

Vorteile

Data & Analytics, East scheduling, Automations and lot custom options to make the system our own

Nachteile

User Permissions are a bit consuming and limiting

Vorteile

As a recent customer of Lever, we've just completed the implementation phase. It's been a very smooth onboarding experience, and we have received excellent support from [sensitive content hidden]. The posting and requisition process is simple, and we appreciate that custom fields can be created to support business needs and reporting.

Nachteile

As a new customer, there is nothing that we dislike about Lever at this time. One product suggestion is the ability to auto-email reports created through Data Explorer.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Lever is extremely easy to use. I like that you can see which opportunities the candidates are tied to in their candidate profiles. Moving candidates between stages is a breeze. I like the Chrome extension which has been quick and easy to add candidates to the system.

Nachteile

It seems more geared towards US hires and not international which is a bummer. I also don't like the fact that Lever doesn't have an electronic signing option for candidates. If you want that you have to add Adobe Sign or DocuSign which is another expense. Lastly, it would be really great if there was an option to have the interviews tab show all of the upcoming interviews that the Recruiting Coordinator has scheduled. Not just their own upcoming interviews.

Vorteile

I like Lever's scheduling tool the most. I also like the home page interviews, approval requests and feedback dashboards.

Nachteile

I wish that we could buffer time slots between calls and limit how many calls can be scheduled in the easy-book link per day.

I love everything about Lever and my Implementation specialist, [sensitive content hidden]! He did a fantastic job getting my company all set to use our new applicant tracking system. Our Level team was patient, understanding, and very helpful. Every company needs Lever in their lives.

Nachteile

Nothing, I loved everything about Lever!

Vorteile

Lever makes the end-to-end recruitment process easy. From adding an open position through to reviewing applications, filtering candidates, communicating with candidates and ultimately making the hire.

Lever enables you to review CVs received within the software and enables a frictionless process when recruiting. It also provides a front-end product which can be used for internal and external vacancies. The layout of the job listings is clear and straightforward.

Nachteile

With a high number of candidates it can sometimes be different to sort in an efficient manner.

Vorteile

What I like most about Lever is that it is user-friendly.

Nachteile

What I like least about Lever is some of the user access settings.

Vorteile

Lever is an easy to use platform with a fresh look and feel from an admin and candidate perspective. Streamlined integrations with numerous other systems and a sync with our internal communication channels.

Nachteile

At this time there is nothing that we dislike about the platform.

Vorteile

The ability to search for candidates and the way we can apply filters

Nachteile

Lever have a lot of possibility and might not be always user friendly.

Vorteile

This review is specific to our implementation lead, [sensitive content hidden]
. I have gone through many implementations throughout my career and could say without a doubt [sensitive content hidden]
has made this the easiest! He is attentive, professional, supportive, and an expert at what he does.

Nachteile

Nothing to note here - we have successfully completed implementation without issue.

Vorteile

Good tool for interviewing, entering feedback and screening applicants

Nachteile

Nothing specific that I would like to highlight

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

the price is affordable and it integrates with our hris

Nachteile

scheduling is not as seamless as it was in greenhouse

Vorteile

It’s pretty customizable, functionality is good for recruiters.

Nachteile

Frequent bugs/glitchy, reporting dashboard could be better, can’t attach word docs to the req requests so it’s inconvenient to have to copy and paste everything in a small box.

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!

Nachteile

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!

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

[sensitive content hidden] was an invaluable asset during our recent implementation process. His expertise in Lever was crucial in ensuring a smooth and successful transition.

[sensitive content hidden] patience and clear communication skills made the process much less stressful for our team. He was always available to answer questions and troubleshoot any issues that arose.

Nachteile

None whatsoever. Happy with Lever thus far.

Vorteile

The ease of reviewing resumes, rating applicants, communication with applicants and internal team members, and the reminders on pending tasks.

Nachteile

Scheduling panel interviews. It is somewhat of a challenge in the sense that holding time on panelist calendars before actually scheduling the interview and candidates can be streamlined a little bit further.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Warum Lever gewählt wurde

Vorteile

We transitioned to Lever from a previous ATS, we were looking for more functionality and a wider range of features for reporting purposes. [sensitive content hidden], our implentation specialist, was absolutely amazing. We had weekly calls with [sensitive content hidden], who walked us through a different Lever feature, answered every question, assisted greatly in mapping our historical data over, and was avalible via email for my team whenever they needed her. Understanding the system and being guided during the process was so valuable - the Visual Insights (reporting) has allowed us to view data in ways we've never been able to before. Scheduling is also SO much easier, the Recruiting team has nothing but wonderful things to say about how user friendly the plattform is. We've also began using candidate experience surveys, to boost our candidate experience, and are planning to utilize additional features offered down the road. I feel Lever has quickly and truly become a part of our core systems, anytime I have a question Lever support is so helpful and fast as lightning to answer.

Nachteile

Our Offer process is currently outside of the ATS, the esignature integration we use does not connect with Lever. Docusign is the only option if we want to utilize Lever's Offer process, so we're looking into it. I would love to see more integrations! The Visual Insights were launched with Lever's Winter Release, I am not a fan currently of the exporting options - but I know this is a function Lever is actively working to improve!

Vorteile

I have been using Lever for years and I wanted my new company to start using it instead of Greenhouse. The functionality is easier to use and it makes the day to day flow effortlessly with our TA team.

Nachteile

There are some features it is lacking that I hope they release very soon, it would make our lives a lot easier

Vorteile

The robust candidate management system, the referral management process, the interview scheduling, the overall ease of use of the system.

Nachteile

Job lists don't sync up with LinkedIn. Have to paste whole descriptions in the intro box. Not a big deal.

[sensitive content hidden] provided THE BEST implementation experience. Migrating over to Lever came at a time when there was not a lot of time to devote to implementation projects, but he made the work feel managable, possible, and always a team effort. The layout of the implementation was always concise and clear, with all questions always answered with confidence and context. He was also always a joy to speak to and I always looked forward to the meetings. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Nachteile

If I had to nit pick, it would be the inability to customize interview buckets for each role.

Vorteile

Easy to set up
User friendly
Integrates with good HRIS systems

Nachteile

Perhaps customer service could be better. It;s not a concern but something that they can improve a bit

Vorteile

How it integrates with Linked-in recruiter great tool to have.

Nachteile

Not much I have found that I don't like. The process to get items set up was probably the hardest just trying to create some of the things that needed to happen on the back end.

Vorteile

The implementation was great. We had a very clear plan, direction and the weekly meetings were a bright spot in our weeks. The system was easy to use, customize and implement!
Recruiter experience - we can save time by utilizing our job posting and candidate templates. We can leverage utilizing multiple locations on job postings. Being able to duplicate job postings is a huge efficiency add. Having the opening and closing statements for postings is also a win. As for sifting through applicant traffic, the archive + email functionality (especially the delay email!) is huge in staying on top of all applicants that apply.

Nachteile

It's more on our end - our security team is very small and they weren't able to grant clearance to utilize Lever with the sync functionality. Being limited in this way limits our level of efficiency of use within the system.

Vorteile

Ease of implementation, reporting, easy to use and train users.

Nachteile

One unified workflow...would like to be able to have different workflows based on department.

Vorteile

One of my favorite features is the job posting template. It is so easy to add the pieces that are part of each job posting and only have to worry about updating the details for the specific role.

Nachteile

Requesting candidate availability is not something that we can do (yet?) and it does make it difficult to collect that data. We are making it work the best we can until that is hopefully added to the roadmap.

Vorteile

I always said I would build the perfect ATS someday as every system seems to be lacking something. Then I found Lever - it's like they read my mind every step of the way!

What do I like?
Ease of use - built from the perspective of a recruiter
Fantastic implementation support (Mary is AMAZING and she knows her stuff!!!)
Excellent and prompt customer service/support

Nachteile

Nothing
When I have felt something was missing, I submitted to request and was either shown how to do it or was told it is currently being worked on. very progressive and growing system.

Vorteile

It is a pleasure knowing Lever. It streamline hiring and recruitment. It has revolutionized our way of doing things bringing the best out of every efforts.

Nachteile

The one time payment is too high. It should be made monthly to spread the cost.

Vorteile

It's easy to use and has all the required features a recruiter could ask for!

Nachteile

There is nothing I can really mention at this time.

Vorteile

The interview scheduling capabilities. Being able to reach out to multiple candidates for availability and schedule them seamlessly.

Nachteile

Hiring managers seem to be able to schedule an interview and it would be nice to be able to prevent certain users from scheduling interviews. Also I would like to be able to Bold candidate names again after they have already been viewed in the pipeline.

Vorteile

They have top notch customer service and a fantastic implementation process. Overall, the software fits our needs and is customizable enough that we can make it fit our processes and not the other way around.

Nachteile

Nothing major that stands out as a flaw with the tool. There are of course, features I would like to see added, but our implementation specialist [sensitive content hidden]
was fantastic at ensuring our feedback was submitted on the product whenever one of these changes came up!

Vorteile

I think the ease of use is great with Lever, able to have hiring manager review / move candidates along while using the reporting aspect of it to showcase your work.Also the integration part is great as it can integrate with various platform like Hired.com, HireEZ, and of course GEM for sourcing.

Nachteile

Not much except there's too much updates or info coming from Lever. I wish they could lower their noise with updates and notification.

Vorteile

Lever has many great features that make applicant tracking, interviewing, etc. much easy and more automated than some competitors. It is extremely robust and offers quite a bit as a dedicated ATS. They are one of the biggest in the ATS space for a reason.

Nachteile

The cost is extremely high for a small business and if you aren't using all of the features, the ROI is not as high as it should be. The UI is overly complex and hard to navigate and use for the average user. Managers often commented on the struggle to engage fully with the platform.

Vorteile

The automation features and native integrations to other software

Nachteile

Advanced data analytics requires a more expensive subscription

Vorteile

Working with [sensitive content hidden]
- he is extremely thorough, responsive, and made this a seamless process for us. We couldn't have gotten through the implementation without him!

Nachteile

Nothing so far - really enjoying the product
