    ApplicantPro is well suited in a environment where an employer isn't hiring a ton of people - this is because ApplicantPro is built with some automation, but you do have to pay attention to each individual candidate. ApplicantPro would be less well suited for a company looking to hire a lot of people or a company where they want to post a ton of different jobs

    I think Lever is great for any sized company, but especially strong for smaller, growing teams. It's a very simple system, but clean, sleek, and very useful in any scenario. They have great support whenever you need it so those with smaller HR or People teams could easily benefit from their help. Can't think of too many scenarios where Lever wouldn't be well-suited, but maybe once you grow to International growth and hiring, it may be better to have a more Enterprise style business, set up for larger scaling.

    • Great integration: Keeps a list of Outlook email communication along with LinkedIn and other data sources
    • Is fairly lively, not too much lag between screens even though it is looking through a lot of data.
    • Has excellent reporting on how well each email message is working.

    • [In my experience,] terrible customer support - pay more to get less...
    • Integrations are spotty and can break without reason
    • Lever has so much potential, but their Roadmap is lacking in ways that will really help customers succeed
    • Focuses on the number of candidates and not the company's need to build talent in a cost effective, data driven and collaborative way
    • Overpromised and underdelivered in [the] capability of the tool. [I believe that you should] not trust your sales team.

    It isn't difficult to use for the applicant processing, but [I feel] if you want to pull reports or use their tools, good luck!

    What support? - Add a ticket and get links to [I believe] their unhelpful user guide. Add a charge if you want better support - afterward just got those links faster...

    We tried using BambooHR's built in job applications. It didn't post to near as many job sites and that is why we switched.

    Lever is comparable to Greenhouse in its basic recruiting functions. I have found it to be WAY better than Bullhorn (clunky and overly-complicated with a very dated and non-intuitive interface) and Jazz HR (slick and pretty, but limited in its functions). The best ATS I've used is the proprietary tool at Meta, but alas, that tool is for internal use only

    • ApplicantPro has given us a cost-efficient way of getting our jobs out to several free job sites and does a great job of integrating with Indeed.
    • We typically get a great flow of candidates when we post with ApplicantPro.

    • Lever provides an enormous ROI by getting us in front of the right candidates that are going to make us more money and more successful as an org.
    • I think that both the quality and quantity of new hires has gone up ever since we started using lever and involving the entire org in the process.
    • It also saves us a lot of time because we don't need to send referrals via email, while saving/attaching resumes and such.
