What is Lever?
Lever is recruiting software that combines an applicant tracking system with a candidate relationship manager in a single product. Teams use it to source people, manage applications, schedule interviews, work with hiring managers and report on results. AI is applied at several points: matching and ranking applicants, producing transcripts and summaries of interviews, and flagging signs of fraudulent applications. Automation covers scheduling, follow-ups and other administrative steps, and dashboards connect hiring activity to pipeline health. The platform integrates with HRIS, sourcing, assessment and background check tools. Optional add-ons include Candidate Insights, an agent-based screening module from VONQ and an onboarding product. Lever belongs to Employ Inc., which also offers JazzHR and Jobvite, and it is sold through custom quotes for small, mid-sized and enterprise organisations.
