About Lever
Lever is a hosted recruiting platform that merges an applicant tracking system (ATS) with candidate relationship management (CRM). It is meant to help growing teams nurture talent relationships and move candidates through hiring without losing track in email.
The vendor emphasizes automation of admin work such as scheduling and follow-ups, AI-powered recommendations that come with context, AI that surfaces best-fit candidates first, and fraud prevention that detects suspicious applicant signals early. It serves a range of industries, including technology, professional services, retail, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare and education.
Lever is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service, with demos offered and a published pricing page. It suits in-house recruiting and talent teams at scaling companies that want ATS and sourcing relationship tools in one product.
