About Lever

Lever is an applicant tracking system (ATS) that also includes candidate relationship management (CRM), so recruiters can manage open applications and nurture passive candidates in the same place. It is aimed at small, mid-sized and enterprise teams that hire across several departments or locations.

The core platform covers sourcing, application tracking, interview scheduling, collaboration with hiring managers, workflow automation, and reporting dashboards that connect hiring activity to pipeline health. Lever says its AI features include candidate matching and screening signals, unlimited interview transcripts and summaries, and signals that flag suspicious applications.

Lever lists optional add-ons for candidate insights, AI screening by VONQ embedded in a career site, and onboarding workflows. Pricing is quote-based and depends on team size and hiring needs, so there is no public price list. Lever states it is SOC 2 Type II certified and says its AI features are built with IBM watsonx.governance.

The main trade-off is price transparency: you need a sales conversation to learn the cost, which makes quick comparisons against tools with public pricing harder.
