"Effortless Recruitment with User-Friendly Features"
5/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I think Lever is very easy to use. I really like how the setup includes different banners for notes, feedback, emails, and forms. It makes it really helpful for other teammates to find only the information that they need. It makes it really easy to gather information such as referrals and have them all in one place. I would say it's pretty easy to set up with videos for everything we needed to learn, so everything was really straightforward and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Hiring with Quick and Easy Flows"
4/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I find Lever to be quick and easy to use, which makes a big difference compared to heavy applicant tracking systems where applicants might not apply because of the heavy and time-consuming inputs. Lever makes it easy to get candidates. I also appreciate the good workflows as they really help in segregating candidates across different pipelines, which eases the hiring process. Additionally, I find the mailing feature interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

Data analytics is not good. Searches in questionnaire or filtering is not available. A calling option from the system can be more beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Recruiting with Robust Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I use Lever as my company's primary recruiting ATS. Lever made the transition from our previous ATS relatively seamless. It simplifies evaluating our candidates from multiple online sources by consolidating them in a central location. I appreciate the relatively easy-to-navigate UI and UX of the platform since it is used by several members of my company, some of whom have less technical background. The user-friendly UI and UX save me considerable time, with fewer clicks and less back-and-forth navigation. The implementation representative was helpful during setup, and the reporting system has robust capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I can appreciate the robust capability that Lever's reporting system offers, but I would like to see it be a bit more user-friendly and simplified if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Candidate Pipeline Buckets, but Job Description Formatting Needs Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I like the ability to move candidates easily into buckets and down the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I think formatting the JDs is not user firendly and it always is different to format everytime. I wish there was an ai function to help clean up JDs to look uniform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Efficient, and Solid Tool for Recruiters"
5/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I love the organization aspect of Lever as everything is easy to see and find, making it very intuitive and user-friendly for day-to-day tasks as a recruiter. The customization options available in Lever allow me to tailor my experience to fit my workflow, enhancing my efficiency. I particularly enjoy the quick resume review feature, which simplifies the process of clicking through resumes and efficiently handling candidates whether it's archiving, emailing rejections, or moving them to interview rounds. Additionally, the new Talent Intelligence feature is exciting as it helps flag candidates that are likely a good fit based on the AI interpretation of their resumes, offering a modern approach to recruitment challenges. Furthermore, Lever's integration capabilities with other tools we use, such as HRIS BOB, Checkr, and sourcing tools like Covey Scout, are incredibly beneficial as they create a seamless recruitment pipeline. Finally, my overall satisfaction with Lever is reflected in my high recommendation score of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

I would love if the Talent Intelligence feature used more of a ranking option so I could see how candidates are being sorted. I would also love to see improvement to the filtering options - sometimes incorrect results are provided. For Talent Intelligence, there is no way to filter by candidates who are not a fit. I'd love to have that option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Hiring with Efficient Scheduling"
4/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I like that I can directly schedule candidates in Lever and that hiring managers can leave their comments and feedback. Lever’s direct scheduling features accelerate the hiring process and elevate the candidate experience by eliminating tedious back-and-forth calendar coordination. The initial setup of Lever was super easy and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

The reporting part is confusing and it's not getting all the data we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Lever?

The features, the ease of adapting forms and templates to candidates, and the ability to communicate smoothly with team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

That when you schedule the interview you have to select a feedback form - I'd love to be able to select that during the call from a dropdown Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive ATS with Strong Integrations"
5/5
What do you like best about Lever?

I appreciate the integrations and automations Lever provides, which make it easy to integrate with our other software. I appreciate the level of tracking and the ability to schedule and reschedule very quickly. From an HR compliance perspective, I appreciate the tracking, the ability to make notes, and communicate through Lever to other stakeholders on candidate-specific profiles. I really appreciate the way it gives us the opportunity to integrate our texting system and track text message correspondence in the candidate profile. It even helps with our screeners for applications and the different tags for candidates. Lever really helps streamline the hiring process. I appreciate the overall user interface and all of the options, including data pulls that are very easy and specific. Overall, I appreciate Lever as a very comprehensive applicant tracking system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lever?

On an infrequent occasion, Lever experiences an error, most recently resulting in email templates not populating. This issue prevented us from sending offer letters. While customer service is helpful, there was a specific instance where it took over a week to get a resolution, which hindered our productivity for that period. Additionally, the ability to get back online quickly when there's an error on Lever's back end could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
