Lever Review

PROS: One of our biggest challenges during the past few years was a poor collaboration with the department heads that are in charge of final interviews. There are a lot of miscommunications and missed schedules that happened, which caused us to lose aspiring applicants in the process. That is why we decided to implement a major change in our process by utilizing Lever, and the results are way better than what we expected. If you are looking for ways to revamp your hiring process, then this platform is the way to go.

CONS: Lever doesn’t integrate well with MS products, and it so happened that we utilize some of them, so now it means that w have to find other compatible apps.

PROS: The team welcomed Lever with open arms because its so user friendly and efficient in completing tasks. Lever allows us to collaborate efficiently, which promotes transparency in the entire recruitment team.

CONS: We just acquired Lever almost a month ago, and everything has been smooth sailing for everyone. The performance of the product may change as we continue to use it, but its part of our expectation. So far everything is all good, and that’s what matters.

PROS: The hiring process has now a more solid system to rely on.

CONS: There are times when the system is slow when I try to access the files and resumes of aspiring candidates. Also, applicants cannot apply for different job positions within the company because his/her profile becomes restricted which causes frustration

PROS: What makes Lever stand out is the simplicity of its UI that cuts the learning curve into half. Lever works efficiently with other apps so you can easily get a hold of the applicant’s file without the need of any papers and printers. It's easy for interviewers to leave notes of their evaluation so feedback can be given to the applicants. It is also Lever’s job to keep track of our daily output and include it on the reports that are being presented to the management.

CONS: One of the downsides of using Lever is the monthly rates which are higher than what the average ATS is priced nowadays. So if your business does not hire people monthly, then this product may not be the perfect fit for you.

PROS: We have been working with some of the employees behind Lever. And the implementation process has been smooth sailing as expected. We did have a lot of questions and concerns, but their support team was very much willing to provide all the answers that we needed. We used a different ATS before shifting to Lever, and there was a huge difference when it comes to user experience. The best thing that we like about Lever is its ability to hire applicants in a fast and efficient manner, also working hand in hand with Linkedin is a big plus for us.

CONS: A few enhancements in the physical appearance of the app would make it look more enticing and exciting to use. But for me, I don’t focus on the physical attributes of the ATS, but it’s more of the functionality that I’m after.

PROS: One of the measures of success in the recruitment department is not just about the number of applicants that we hire, but we also focus on the quality. Instead of browsing resumes manually we now do it using the system which for me is more efficient. Applicants do not have to wait for a long time for their interviews and exams because we can process all of these in one day. Also, I am thankful that Lever works well with Gmail integration that makes the collaboration and communication process fast and straightforward.

CONS: I think that there is something wrong with its reporting portal. We have been extracting our numbers manually for the past weeks, so hopefully, things will be fixed asap.

PROS: Lever is known as one of the most intuitive tools that every HR team should have. We never had any difficulties introducing the tool to all of our new hires and interns in the department because every feature is easy to figure out on your own. Lever gives you the ability to source out the best candidates for all job opening that you have in your company. Plus you can always pull out the reports to measure your performance both individually and as a team. As the business continues to grow, it is expected that the demands for better candidates will also increase dramatically; that is why Lever is created to make recruiting easier.

CONS: Lever does an excellent job in disseminating information to the entire team. It helps us prepare for upcoming recruitment events so there is no excuse to cram. There are some minor opportunities but its something that we can cope up with.

PROS: I am proud to say that Lever brings out the best in our hiring process by helping us screen, track and hire efficiently. I don’t mind spending money on a tool that can help bring out the best in us, and for me, that’s the main purpose of having Lever into our business. Hiring the right person for the job can be like a needle in the hay stock but not anymore, thanks to Lever.

CONS: Tried to find ways to copy and paste my auto-responses and templates in Lever but it seems that this feature is not applicable as of the moment. Lever personnel should look into adding this for things to be more convenient.

PROS: Lever has contributed to the growth of our company and our employees who would like to apply for a promotion. Employees have the opportunity to provide honest feedback on their experience with the recruitment team, so we know how we can improve our existing process. I know that our department still has a lot of shortcomings, but we are trying our best to make things better by expediting the hiring process, which leaves a good impression on new hires.

CONS: We would appreciate it if the system could give us a reason why we could not book interviews on certain dates and time slots, so we know what to say to the applicant and probably look for another available hiring manager.

PROS: Lever can do a lot of things that will simplify the way you hire applicants. What I like about it most is that it's very open to feedback from users. So everyone has a say on how Lever can be improved for the benefit of the team.

CONS: No major issues to complain about except for the duplicate invites that recipients have been getting on their inbox. This can be very confusing and may lead to delays or disconnect in the hiring process. The entire team has experienced this, and it should be addressed right away.

PROS: One of the primary reasons why we decided to acquire this tool is to help us conduct background checks before moving forward to the interview process. Also, this app allows us to book interviews with the candidate depending on the availability of the hiring manager, which can be done in just a few minutes. Also, we appreciate the email integration feature because it means faster communication between the hiring staff and the candidates. Lastly, the reporting access has always been important for the team, so we have visibility when it comes to our daily and month to date productivity.

CONS: The reports are reliable, but we wanted to get more in-depth information behind these numbers As much as possible we would like the reports to be broken down into the simplest form for everyone to have a better understanding of what’s going on in our recruitment process.

PROS: Lever can integrate itself with my Gmail account. It means that I can do some recruitment work wherever I go and schedule interviews even when I’m at home. With Lever, you no longer need more applications because it's an all on one package.

CONS: One of the thing that bothers me is the duplicate invites that I receive on my emails for interviews and meetings. This can confuse me, so I have to read it carefully before deleting the second copy. Currently, I am in the process of learning how Lever works, and I’m hoping that everything will be okay.

PROS: One of the best things I like about Lever is the smooth and easy user interface. I can get a lot of things done using the system because everything is so easy to figure out even without asking for any help at all. With Lever, I don’t have to use multiple apps for scheduling interviews, applicant evaluation, and so much more. Plus I love working with the customer service team because they’ve always been supportive and helpful.

CONS: I wish that Lever could come up with auto connects to other job boards out there. Usually, I would be asked to get a subscription to gain access to the posts, but it would be great if I get them at no cost.

PROS: One of the things that attracted me to Lever is the highly attractive user interface in which other apps don’t possess. The entire hiring process is simple and straightforward from beginning to end. Plus we highly rely on the reports to measure our performance versus our targets which is very useful for the team.

CONS: It allows me to browse through large batches of resumes in one sitting, which makes my job a lot easier. It helps me organize my day to day tasks from fixing schedules, responding to queries, emails, and so much more. Known for its intuitive features, I can say that I have no complaints against Lever.
