Lever - overpromised, loads of potential, frustrated by lack of support.

Rating: 3 out of 10

May 7, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Lever since October 2019 as our first ATS. All hiring teams utilize Lever and it is the main tool for our recruiting efforts besides LinkedIn.

Pros

Job posting page integrates with website
Email candidates directly to set up phone screens with EasyBook Links
Schedules interviews in the platform

Cons

[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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great if you are a big company with loads of money to spend on service to support your efforts. Must have low expectations of how it will help you find better talent. Make sure you have an in-house Lever tech person to help you as [in my experience] you won't get much help from their support team.

A great choice for teams that need a hand with interview scheduling

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Lever for several months as a trial, during a period of reevaluating our recruiting and hiring pipeline process. Even though we ultimately went with another vendor, we learned a lot of best practices from Lever and would still recommend it to others based on certain criteria. Namely, the support for integrations with major 3rd party vendors like GSuite, LinkedIn, and Slack were impressive and saved a lot of work. Secondly, the interview scheduling feature was the best out of all the vendors we evaluated, and would be a game-changer for any organization that struggles with keeping up with scheduling tasks.

Pros

Scheduling management is a breeze.
3rd party integrations are well-designed.
UI is snappy and responsive.

Cons

As others have mentioned, the single sign on feature does not play well with API access.
UI can be a bit busy.
Price point not worth it for us.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for organizations that struggle to keep up with a huge pipeline of applicants and interviews. The automatic scheduling feature would be a huge time-saver in this area for many teams.
