Lever

Lever is a talent acquisition platform that combines an applicant tracking system (ATS) with candidate relationship management (CRM) in a single suite — its LeverTRM approach. Rather than treating recruiting as a linear pipeline only, Lever helps teams both process active applicants and proactively source and nurture passive candidates, so recruiters build talent pools and relationships over time, not just fill reqs reactively. The platform streamlines the full hiring workflow. Pipelines and stages track candidates; interview scheduling, structured interview kits, and scorecards standardize evaluation and reduce bias; and nurture campaigns keep prospects warm with automated, personalized outreach. Sourcing extensions, referrals, and career-site tools feed the top of the funnel, while analytics and dashboards reveal pipeline health, conversion, source effectiveness, and DEI metrics. Automation and AI assist with outreach and workflow, and deep integrations connect Lever to HRIS, job boards, assessment, and video tools. Lever serves mid-market and enterprise talent teams that want sourcing and applicant tracking unified, with roles, permissions, and compliance for scale. Pricing is not published and is quoted per company — commonly based on total employee headcount (roughly $6–$8 per employee per month) rather than recruiter seats, with typical contracts ranging from around $6,000/year for small teams to enterprise deals in the tens of thousands. It competes with Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, and BambooHR's ATS, differentiating on its combined ATS + CRM model.
