About Lever

Lever combines an applicant tracking system with a candidate relationship manager, so recruiters can source and nurture passive candidates and move them into active pipelines without switching tools. It covers job posting, sourcing, email sequences, interview scheduling, feedback, offers and reporting, and it has added AI screening and matching, unlimited AI interview transcripts and summaries, and fraud signals. Lever is owned by Employ Inc., which also owns JazzHR. Pricing is custom-quoted by company size and needs, with add-ons for things like advanced analytics and onboarding. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps and integrates with major HRIS and job boards. It works best for mid-sized companies with active sourcing; customers report that reporting can be clunky and that pace of product change slowed in some years compared with newer rivals.

Best for: Mid-sized companies whose recruiters source and nurture candidates proactively.
