Amazing user experience from end to end with Lever !

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Saving time on everything from applications review to interviews feedbacks, including sourcing and nurturing !

Pros:

I really enjoyed discovering the Nurture feature that helps me save a lot of time. The team collaboration on hiring is really smooth thanks to Lever from reviewing sourced profiles and applications to completing interviews feedbacks. Using Lever really ease the implementation of new collaborative hiring process within GitBook. My experience with Lever is the first user experience I ever had that encourages me to recommend a product being 100% confident ! I enjoyed every step of my experience with Lever from the very 1st call discovering the product with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], all the way to the amazing on-boarding led by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] until being an actual power user of Lever.

Cons:

There is not much things I didn't like about Lever. If I would think of one, it would be the grey UI that is not really appealing and sometimes the UX such as having to go back on settings part to update a template but those doesn't reduce the great user experience one should have using Lever.

Does the job on the budget. If you have $ go with a more expensive one.

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Overall 4/5. There are things that I would change but as I said it does the job. At the end of the day, it is all a question of your usage, your team, the scale of the business, and ofc your budget. Lever is a great solution if you have a small team under 10 recruiters, company size under 1k, and a small budget to operate with. If you know how to run scrappy and get things done, Lever is a solid choice.

Pros:

Simple.Intuitive. Extremely easy to onboard new recruiters and get them up to speed. All the basic functionality to run a quick process is there. Not expensive - for the price point I would say delivers a lot of value.

Cons:

Not innovative. They accept feedback - but nothing gets implemented. Even simple things that should take no time. I wish they were listening to the customers who are using the product every day - we want to help and make Lever better.

Worst experience in an ATS

2.0 last month New

Pros:

- it allows you to set your info in order. However this is really basic for an ATS

Cons:

- Data analytics are very basic- doesn’t allow you to do sourcing with key words

Lever is a solid ATS tool

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall, a good upgrade from our previous ATS, Workable consider pricing and automation + ease of use.

Pros:

I like how simple and sleek & modern the UI is. The candidate dashboard is easy to track and review, you can see everything about the candidate's application in just one page or view. I also like how automated and customizable the platform is when it comes to adjusting the funnel accordingly. You can also post and duplicate job postings in just a few easy steps.

Cons:

Lever's Applicant Tracking & Candidate Management feature or dashboard is simple though would like for the view to have more filters so I can review per filter (e.g. date ranges, location, etc.) and not just per job posting. Customer support has been consistently quick to respond from the start though would have liked more hands-on support in onboarding; it's mostly self-onboarding and integration.

Lever is such a user-friendly tool and a huge improvement for us!

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: We weren't able to successfully build a robust database previously. Lever allows you to do that in an organized way. Also, the metrics/reporting capabilities even within the enhanced package is far superior to those I've used previously.

Pros:

I love the UI/UX of Lever. It's super user-friendly and easy to figure out overall. Lots of capabilities we didn't have before. Compared to the solutions I've used before (JazzHR and BreezyHR for smaller businesses), it's like night and day. SO much better.

Cons:

There are some features that are missing/need to be improved. They aren't dealbreakers, though. For instance, you can't manually update job posting dates. Also, the site doesn't have many partnerships with free job boards allowing you to automatically push out postings to them. It's integrated with LinkedIn and has a recent integration with Indeed as well, but that's it. If you want postings on other job boards, you have to manually do it, which is a decent amount of work.
