Our take

Lever has created recruitment software with a built-in CRM (candidate relationship management) functionality and a modern user interface. Systems such as customisable pipelines, and in-depth reporting capabilities mean that recruiters can minimise manual effort in the system and focus on building strong relationships with the right applicants.

While Lever isn’t the only digital recruiting service, with competitors like Greenhouse and iCIMS Cloud talent occupying the space, they are the only player in the industry to have developed a complete ATS (application tracking software) and CRM solution: LeverTRM.

Lever is making moves through strategic partnerships that allow them to develop their service offerings. An integration with cFIRST will allow Lever to seamlessly merge the company's background verification service with their own product. Another partnership with Aptitude, a human capital management firm, has also worked to uncover insights into internal mobility for businesses.

Company values

  • We are product focused - We are first and foremost a product company—we believe that user-centric design ultimately leads to the best products. We're in it to raise the bar for enterprise software; we're hyper ambitious, always a bit idealistic, and incredibly supportive of each other.
  • We’re committed to open source - Open Source is in our DNA, we built our own open source framework for building apps that we use to build our product. Many members of our team routinely push to our own and community node modules.
  • We embrace difficult problems - Our platform serves a complex set of users with evolving needs. At the same time, we’re helping to define new practices and standards for how great companies are built. Never satisfied with the solutions of yesterday, we’re always pushing ourselves to ‘know why’.
  • We care about cross-functional empathy (XFE!) - We think the best companies are built when different teams have a shared understanding of each others goals and values.
