What an amazing ATS! The team at Lever is incredible to work with - they are so responsive, hands-on, and pleasant to work with.
The interface and interview 'flow' is set up in an intuitive way that makes it easy for people to understand and navigate. We implemented about 6 montsh ago and have already seen seen major user adoption, not just from the recruiting team, but across all company functions.

The Lever team is great to work with!
The Lever team is great to work with, and very responsive! Everyone (from the CS team who handles tickets to our implementation specialist) has been incredibly professional and helpful. The product itself has some great features as well for recruiters (LinkedIn cross-functional integration, Google Chrome Extension, nurture campaigns, "send for" feature, GoodHire background check integration to name a few). I know our recruiting team is very involved with the nurture campaigns to engage passive talent, and thus far, we've had great success with it. The platform UX is also very clean and intuitive for the most part; I've received positive feedback from our hiring managers who use Lever as a way to check on the health of their pipelines. Overall, I would recommend the platform to colleagues who are looking to upgrade their ATS. :)
That said, I would have to caution anyone who is currently on Outlook Exchange, as the integration with Lever's scheduling tool isn't fully compatible. I can only speak on behalf of our experience, but we're running into some serious setbacks here (reschedules and cancellations in lever's scheduling tool don't reflect on the calendars in Outlook, so we wind up have to double schedule and double cancel whenever interview times change; conference rooms can't be booked through Lever; interviewer availability can't be viewed in the system). This is something I know the team is working hard to correct, so fingers crossed we'll be able to find a solution soon!

Amazing for Interview Scheduling!
I have to schedule complicated interview days and Lever makes this a breeze. I can see everything all in one place and I don't have to jump between applications. I can see all the interviewer's schedules, drag and drop interviewers to different interviews, and the start times for the interviews auto adjust based on when the last interview ends.
I would rate this a 5, but I think the bulk import of resumes is still a little buggy, it would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the web app, and while Lever will save drafts of interviews you are trying to schedule, it doesn't save your event titles for your interviews and that can be a pain when you need to reschedule an interview and retype all of the event titles. Regardless, I think this is the best ATS out there for the money.

Intuitive and Easy to Navigate
Pros: Lever is so intuitive, user friendly and easy to navigate. The customer support was helpful in setting it up, and instructional videos and articles were helpful in learning the system.
Cons: I don't care for how the feedback feature is set up and seems time consuming. Lever doesn't have the most convenient way for creating blind screening of resumes to eliminate unconscious bias.

Lever is a fantastic & must have recruitment tool!
I have introduced Lever at a company of 500+ employees and couldn't be happier with it!
As an ATS, the system is amazing - especially around building candidate pools, managing your candidates through the process and having a solid overall picture of the whole pipeline. The integration with LinkedIn and syncing both inMails and emails to the candidate profile is great!
From a recruitment function perspective, it really helps with sharing candidates in the team, gathering and centralising interview feedback, promoting referrals etc. It seems they have been continuously improving all aspects, bring small welcomed tweaks here and there. One area I've seen a lot of change (and could be a bit better) is the reporting side.
The system has a great UX & UI so new users find it very easy to catch on and how to used this properly. So far, for people outside the Recruitment function, we have had only positive feedback, be it hiring managers or people using it as a referral tool.
From Lever's side, the team there has been incredibly supportive and helpful, from pre sales to the actual implementation, training, to small issues and bugs.
Overall, I highly recommend Lever as a must have for any growing business.

The Top Recruitment Product
Moving from an out-of-date and clunky ATS to Lever has been one of the best things to happen to me as a recruiter. I love that I have access to all the candidate information in one place! The large amount of features in Lever are all completely user friendly. I recommend this product 100% to anyone looking to upgrade their recruitment experience on both the recruiter and the candidate side.

Levers' Customer Support is the BEST!
Pros: Name your tags - it's so easy to categorize one or many candidates, making finding them again a breeze! And adding "stages" to the pipeline allows you to completely customize how one uses Lever A+. Shout out to KA who goes above and beyond customer service!
Cons: That I can not redact information from resumes, so as to remove unconscious bias from reviewers.....
