Lever vs. NEOGOV Insight

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

NEOGOV Insight is great as an one-stop for the entire recruitment and selection process. It is well suited for our mid-size organization of about 2000 employees and about 400-500 postings (in average) every year. You need to have team members with some technology expertise to use NEOGOV Insight. It's not super user friendly. If hiring teams aren't comfortable navigating a system that requires tech background then it is not appropriate for your organization.

• 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.

Incentivized

• More recognizable sign field
• Better design

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!

It requires some self-teaching, exploring, and tech expertise to use NEOGOV Insight efficiently. There are a lots of features that aren't easily available and requires some research and trial-error. Its not very user-friendly and the features/interface of NEOGOV Insight changes often times with new upgrades and enhancements. So an NEOGOV Insight user needs to be somewhat tech-savvy and willing to be flexible and adaptable.

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...

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.

Incentivized

• We have an ATS now and did not have one before
• LinkedIn integration is better than others I've seen
• 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

• Simple Interface
• User friendly
• Organization
