Features and ease of use and data management

Vorteile

I like Lever's scheduling tool the most. I also like the home page interviews, approval requests and feedback dashboards.

Nachteile

I wish that we could buffer time slots between calls and limit how many calls can be scheduled in the easy-book link per day.

I like Lever because of its ease of use.
It's also great for bulk candidate management, especially for those who handle volume roles.
It also has integration with a lot of job boards which leads to a good flow of applicants.

Nachteile

The reporting module is not the greatest, we have had to integrate it with another app for reports.
It also lacks a lot of automation, which can be a downside for busy recruiters.

Vorteile

Transparency
Easy Handling
Connection to LinkedIn
Helpful, fast and good customer support
Reporting options
Complete candidate management
Very well structured implementation plan
Help Center with detailed descriptions
Lever University

Nachteile

A few functions could be more flexible for the European market

Vorteile

Ease of implementation, reporting functionality, general UI of platform.

Nachteile

Nothing really - it's been a great product to use so far

Vorteile

I really enjoyed user Lever. It has tons of features for DE&I. Our managers loved using it as well and it really streamlined our recruiting efforts. Scheduling through the Office integration was also great.

Nachteile

Compared to others, Lever was pricey but we felt it was worth it. The software runs very smoothly, never had an issues, and was very easy to use. Top of our budget but we got what we paid for in my opinion.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Lever

We liked the user experience best. Seemed like the easiest to use and it had the most robust reporting when we demoed the product.

Vorteile

It looks ok, isn't slow, I like the font.Customer service is actually good (although feature requests don't get completed).

Nachteile

No point in listing everything or I'll be here for days, I've already flagged them as feature requests months ago and not heard anything back. This ATS, whilst fast and not completely useless is just so painful in so many ways, the amount of illogical UX/UI that has been put into this is baffling - the main outstanding one being that jobs and candidates are kept in separate channels... what!?- Can't format feedback forms.- Any interview plan you set up is duplicated across ALLjobs.. you can't have specific plans for specific roles, are you kidding me right?- Can't turn off email notifications for reminding to submit feedback, even though there is a notification options in settings (missing the option).- When you are rejecting/archiving people if you type out an email and accidentally click off it's all deleted and does not save, this happens with other parts as well (if you just send a norma email it does save).- Want to return to the candidate after leaving feedback? You have to open a new tab.- Scheduling feels like someone doing A level comp science has built it, basic and not efficient. - No customisation settings - sorry, deal with the grey, bleak looking system (other than the font).- Don't get me started on the analytics, it's so poor.

Vorteile

- sourcing part
- integrations with other systems
- the system is smart so it is limiting mistakes
- reporting is strong (as the system does not allow many mistakes)

Nachteile

GDPR options are very simple, we need them more advanced as a EU based company
user roles - too simple for us, again we would need to have them more granular
email/interview templates - it would be great if these could be preset based on the interview name/type - it would save a lot of time to search through templates
department/team set up - as this affects the entire system and automation it is very hard to set it up correctly, as we are an organization of larger scale, it is just not enough granular for us
job offer approval set up - again not granular enough for us

Jobvite did not allow keeping Job postings and requisitions separate The interface was quite old-fashioned and some tasks took way too many clicks to do Jobvite was very rigid when we needed to make any changes from the standard

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Lever

Lever was better fitting our business needs - strong CRM + ATS that helps with clear reporting

Vorteile

Our company operates similarily to a recruiting agency, which means we tend to hire for the same job on an ongoing basis, as opposed to hiring one or two candidates, then closing the job. Because of this, Lever helped us understand that we need a candidate-centric ATS, as opposed to a job centric ATS. This is a critical distinction when evaluating ATS, and is why we selected Lever over other systems.

The best feature is the global pipeline view that you see when you first log in. It makes understanding the pipeline really easy. And you can filter it down by job, recruiter, etc. which is also really helpful. It's really the best UI / UX of any ATS pipeline that we've seen.

We also really like the tagging and automation tools. Also the tight linkedin integration is nice. Oh, and two-way email sync with gmail is a critical feature for us that not all ATS have.

Nachteile

The reporting can be a little hard to understand at times. It doesn't have a direct integration with indeed, zip recruiter, or other job boards, so job distribution isn't as good as our last system (workable). But we're making it work.

Vorteile

The system has a lot of different possibilities in order to do outbound and inbound search, many different functions - it is convenient change the candidates stages. I really liked that we can configure everything for yourself, customize almost every step.

Nachteile

Would be great to have offer approvals without Docusign. Other cons aren't discovered :)

Jobvite

Vorteile

It is extremely easy to use, and the customer support team is great. Candidates also do not have to go through a lengthy application process or use a complicated interface in order to submit their applications to us through Lever.

Nachteile

It is not easily customizable to your specific team's needs. Although, the Lever team does push updates on a regular basis that does improve the usability of the product, it still leaves a lot to be desired.

Vorteile

Applicants management, integrated workflows and options.

Nachteile

Could be a bit cheaper, that's all I would improve.

Vorteile

Tracking candidates, keeping them informed, staying organized, and scheduling group interviews are all jobs that Lever does better than any other method I've tried. Interview scheduling — especially group interviews — works so well and instills a lot of confidence every step of the way that I've actually used their interface as an example of how to execute great interface design.

Nachteile

I wish I could customize the interview phases to match our actual process. For example, there is an "onsite interview" step that really just means "final interview" for us. It seems leftover from an era when interviews were almost or usually done in-person. That's almost never the case anymore.

Vorteile

I really appreciate how intuitive the software is. Also, it's very handful for every recruiter - I don't need any assistant to remember about meetings, candidates who prefer contact in the couple next months etc.
I had a chance to create my own steps of the recruitment process and templates, I have all data in one place! Lever also cares about GDPR and job board which is beyond helpful.

Nachteile

I would love to have a "freeze option" which would be very nice in case of a process which is stopped for a while.

Vorteile

Most likable & easy to use features - Job Requisition, interview scheduling, job post sharing

Nachteile

The feedback templates can be more customisable.

Vorteile

Ease of implementation and ease of use.

Nachteile

Needing to upgrade to customize fields.

Vorteile

I love Lever : managing my applications could not be easier. In few clicks, you can organize applications, reject or approve them and plan next-steps with candidates.
Referral feature is also well built. You can refer a candidate in few seconds, link it to a job then post it and track their status!

Nachteile

Everything is clear for me. I don't have the administrator part, only the end-user and that's perfect. Our executives are fully satisfied of Lever.

Vorteile

Ease of use, intuitive UI, great integrations, fantastic customer support.

Nachteile

reporting could be a little better

Vorteile

I like the simplicity of the software. Candidates can easily just upload their resume and it's done. I have heard many complaints before about how tedious it is for people to apply for jobs. This software makes the user experience much easier.
I also like how you can message other people, such as hiring managers, inside the candidates profile to bring awareness to the candidate or something on their profile. That is a cool feature.

Nachteile

What I like least is that it was sending our emails to candidates spam. It took us a while to figure it out, but we did.

Vorteile

as a user, I submit candidates for referrals, I mainly upload resumes, get social referral links, and track progress.

Nachteile

getting the social referral link is not straightforward (to many clicks)

Vorteile

Very easy to use and integrate with existing job postings. Makes it easy to streamline applications, tracking + more into one source of truth.

Nachteile

Doesn't work for the majority of early stage (or cash scrappy) startups unless they're perpetually hiring. For companies hiring 3-4x a year at different times, the cost is often not worth it.

Vorteile

We have a great implementation specialist! We love the nurture campaigns. It is easy for us to share information with our hiring managers.

Nachteile

The site can be a little slow. We would like a little bit more privacy around referrals.

Vorteile

Ease of use. This product is very intuitive

Nachteile

So far there is nothing I don't like. Great product

Vorteile

We had a great implementation experience with Otto, he supper attentive and proactive in checking our understanding each section of the apps and ensure best implementation for our company.

Nachteile

So far our people team really enjoying the apps

Vorteile

Intuitive platform
Easy to learn
Great reporting features
Centered around the candidate instead of the job - makes organization much easier

Nachteile

No large cons, there are some small feature enhancements that could improve ease of use.

Vorteile

I was able to track my referrals for 8x8

Nachteile

Nothing much, it's an awesome software that you have

Vorteile

Great user experience!
Great team to work with!

Vorteile

Perfect to manage and track candidates and do all the process of hiring.
Nice to see the referrals and track them also.

Nachteile

Maybe about the design, It looks like too much "grey", IMO it could be better designed!
