iSmartRecruit vs. Lever

The cost-effectiveness and flexibility of iSmartRecruit are impressive. It's a strategic investment that yields significant returns in recruitment success, in our opinion. Therefore, we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking top-tier recruitment software.

Managing pipeline and candidate communication is easy through lever. Keeping it all in one place allows the hiring teams to be in the loop real-time. The reporting is clunky and basic, however, and without a 3rd party tool, sourcing from the lever database is difficult. Also, it is very easy to have duplicate candidates since the alerts Lever gives are often incorrect

• Easy and quick access to clients, candidates, jobs and prospects.
• Posting our jobs to our websites.
• Uploading and parsing candidate resumes is simple.
• Keeping track of our placements or the candidates we don't place (and notes about why) help us as we consider people for future opportunities.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Every system has some room for improvement. But no major issues were found, so it’s completely fine.
• he system comes with many features and is easy to use, but it still requires some form of training to use it to the fullest and get maximum advantages.
• Every staffing agency business has different needs and requirements. iSmartRecruit helps us to do that. Very quick to respond to requests. Sometimes, it may take more time if the requirement is complex.

• It would be nice if we were provided a more detailed summary of why our referrals were not selected for a position.
• The feedback feature that interviewers can give on candidates is great, but it is sometimes hard to find again after completion.
• If there is a mobile version, better marketing/awareness on this would be helpful.

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 looked at a number of other systems that were not as comprehensive. Many were priced above our budget, and we know customer service would not have been as good

I think Lever stacks up fairly well and is right above the midpoint. iCIMS and Greenhouse provide a larger, more Enterprise style product for huge scale, so I'd put the two of them above Lever at this time, but we chose Lever over Greenhouse for a reason. I just don't know if we'd be able to scale to the size we'd want to long-term with their product suite. Compared to the others listed here, and many others, I would take Lever every time.

• We have an ATS now and did not have one before

• Spend too much time researching unhelpful user guides since their support is terrible
• Lots of frustration with post implementation support
• Integrations break, tools don't work and settings fail which could lead to other issues
