Find your fit

Who it is for

It is aimed at talent acquisition teams in growing companies, including organizations recruiting across departments or locations. The combined ATS and CRM is useful when recruiters need one record of current applicants and people they want to keep in touch with for future roles.

Hiring managers can participate in interviews and approvals while recruiters retain the wider pipeline view. Before choosing it, list the job boards, HR systems, interview steps and candidate communications that must work for your team.

The work it supports

Core capabilities

The core platform manages applications and candidate relationships together. Recruiters can track applicants for open roles, keep talent pools and revisit past applicants instead of starting every search from a blank list. Test how a returning candidate is matched to a new role without creating a confusing duplicate record.

Lever describes one-click posting to many job boards and branded career-site application flows. Check the actual board destinations, any external posting charges and what applicants see on mobile before importing live requisitions.

Interview scheduling includes automated follow-ups and candidate self-booking. Teams can use structured scorecards, customizable approval paths and offer letters. Walk through one sample role from application to decision to confirm interviewer availability, feedback visibility and approval handoffs.

The CRM supports candidate nurture campaigns and rediscovery of people already in the database. Plan consent, message frequency and ownership rules before emailing a large pool, and confirm which campaign functions and limits are in the selected package.

Dashboards and reports show pipeline activity and funnel conversion. Set up a small example report by role and stage to see whether the available data answers your team’s actual hiring questions, rather than relying on headline analytics claims.

Lever describes connections to HRIS, sourcing, assessments, background checks and productivity tools. Verify the exact connector, data fields, access rights and any third-party costs needed for your handoff from hire to employee record.

The pricing page lists AI matching and interview transcripts or summaries under the core platform. Ask how recordings and consent are handled, which users can see the output, and what human review remains in the hiring decision.

Candidate Insights, AI Screening by VONQ and Onboarding are listed as add-ons. These can extend profile signals, career-site pre-screening and new-hire workflows, but the quote should name each purchased component rather than assuming the broader feature page describes the core plan.

Understand the offer

Pricing and getting started

Lever does not show a standard public price. It asks buyers to contact the vendor for a custom quote. The vendor says every plan includes core ATS, recruiting CRM, advanced reporting and key integrations, with pricing scaling to team size and hiring needs.

Company size, hiring volume, selected products, integrations, implementation and support can affect the offer. Request a written feature and service breakdown, including Candidate Insights, AI Screening by VONQ or Onboarding if required, and compare the full annual cost against expected recruiting use.

Look a little closer

Before you choose

Use a harmless sample requisition to check posting, application intake, stage movement, candidate communication, interview scheduling, scorecards, approval and reporting. Include a past applicant in the test so you can see how the CRM and ATS share history.

Before moving real applicant records, agree on retention, access, consent and data-transfer responsibilities. Confirm the purchased add-ons, integration scope and the practical exit/export path with Lever during the quote and implementation discussion.
