Lever Reviews & Product Details

The UI is great and easy to navigate, the integration of calendar and email also helps a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small logistical things, like making something a feedback form as default for a stage it applies across all jobs but I would prefer to have each job have at their own as our roles differ quite a bit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy that Lever makes it easy to track email messages, so we can tell if candidates have opened the message or if it's left unopened, which is really helpful when sending messages about interviews or reminders. This feature supports our candidate management and enhances the candidate experience that we value. I also appreciate having everything in one place, which avoids the hassle of looking across different platforms for material. This consolidated space for all information makes the experience much more streamlined and helps to create a more concise experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say being able to see our information a little more summatively would be very helpful. It's not as user-friendly to be able to compile that information into one place, like you can in Google Sheets or similar platforms. Although the visual insights are moving in that direction, there are still parts that are not as easy to view in a comprehensive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Lever because of its ease of use. It's pretty user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to find things and quick to load. It also helps me keep things organized. Compared to other systems I've used throughout my career, I like Lever a lot. It's easy to share with a team, categorize into buckets, tag each other, and keep all candidate notes, emails, and contacts in one place. I like how easy it is to schedule through Lever, keeping everyone on the same page and eliminating the need for debriefs and additional emails. This has really streamlined things a lot. The initial setup was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how when you go into a candidate profile, there are multiple buckets, and it gets confusing with more buckets inside them. I wish it was more streamlined and all in one page. Me and my hiring managers get a little confused by that sometimes. I also wish there were requisition numbers assigned to each position to keep track of individual postings. Additionally, I wish there was a way to see all the candidates without having to go into candidates each time. Also, integrating offers through DocuSign would be cool, but I don't know how to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used plenty of ATS in the past, and I would say Lever is one of the better ones. I like how adaptable it is to our company needs. Although there are limitations to some of the things I would like (more automation options, better search refinement, etc) I do think after this seminar it sounds like it is headed jn that direction!

Hard for hiring managers to use especially since we have new hiring managers all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive and easy to use. I like that Lever continues to innovate and add new features and functions to the product. They integrate with most tools necessary to do our job. The performance is fairly consistent, with only a few issues over the many years we've been using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support has diminished over time. I understand the surge of AI and using AI to combat support tickets, but sometimes, it's really a human who can give the best service.

On AI: The products they put out as free are the worst performing from experience, and the products that I am most excited about are more expensive and an upcharge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lever has a good user interface so you can easily navigate the system. I also like the integrated calendar and email features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a better option for create specific list for candidates. I understand there is a tagging feature, but would love more of a folder option were I can group candidates/profiles and access the folder for future use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Lever has everything we might need all in one place, which makes it very user-friendly. It's a system created by those who understand recruitment needs, saving a lot of time for both the management and recruitment teams. The tagging system and candidate tracking features are particularly helpful, as they allow us to keep an eye on candidate flow and recruiter workloads across all recruitment stages without jumping between tools. Also, editing job posts in Lever and pushing them to necessary job boards is simple, enabling us to track where candidates are coming from efficiently. Overall, we find it the best solution compared to everything we've tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe the way we are currently scheduling calls through Lever is probably the least user-friendly aspect of it. It's not critical, but compared to all the rest, it is not as great. It's complicated to have multiple interviewers, multiple candidates, if we need a group call and group interview. It's complicated to make it happen in Lever without committing mistakes.

I love how Lever centralizes and structures our recruiting efforts, providing strong visibility into pipelines that's invaluable for quickly assessing pipeline health and identifying bottlenecks. The ease of use is fantastic; I can move faster, make better decisions, and ensure candidates aren't languishing in any stage for too long. It's really efficient to manage sourced candidates, outreach, and pipeline management all in one platform. The straightforward initial setup allowed us to get our core workflows running without significantly disrupting daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see an investment in the AI capabilities of Lever. I see an opportunity to make it more proactive and intelligent in the resume screening stage. This would help reduce manual effort and allow me to spend my time on other high-priority items. It would be helpful if AI could provide a clearer summary of relevant experience, rank candidates by role fit, and highlight non-obvious but potentially strong matches to roles.

I use Lever for its applicant tracking system in my role with Vida. Lever helps me stay organized, and I appreciate the way it queues everyone neatly for the next step, making it easy to tag folks and share candidates. This helps our organization work towards hiring top people. I like its straightforward functions and find the layout is simple enough for people who don't use it daily to understand if asked to contribute. Some valuable features for me are search, talent fit, and staging, which keep people and positions in motion, allowing us to easily tap into the hiring funnel. The initial setup of Lever was so easy, which was another plus. While I also like Greenhouse a bit more, Lever is a product I like and would recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI talent fit is not perfect yet, and the search feature could be improved as it doesn't always work as I'd like it to, like in LinkedIn. Candidates should be queued in the pipeline so recruiters see them as they apply, with first applicants at the top, not the bottom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility. Having some, well-modularized features available as add-ons allows the system to be flexed to business needs. Smaller businesses can access the advantages of a full ATS at a reasonable price point, while large businesses can get a suite of enterprise-level additions to round it out.

While I understand the reasoning behind the universal pipeline, it's extremely confusing to managers that do not use all the stages. I've never worked at a business that had a single process flow for all jobs, and having the ability to flex the pipeline stages (at least maybe the visibility of them?) would be super helpful in reducing manager confusion with their position pipelines.
