Considered Both Products
Ceipal ATS
Chose Ceipal ATS
Ceipal ATS is the worst possible choice amongst all of the ATS ive used. There is a reason it is dirt cheap.
Chose Ceipal ATS
Ceipal ats help us to find the candidates which are genuine and useful, and we can get the candidate total information by using this ATS, the entire Job history of the candidate in be found using this ATS. it, makes the job easy and quick and it’s not an AI tool
Chose Ceipal ATS
Jobdiva is highly complex in terms of candidate finding, creating jobs or creating a vendor list and clients for our database when it is compared to Ceipal, which gives us a platform where it is very easy to use and no complex process while creating jobs or creating a vendor …
Chose Ceipal ATS
Ceipal's is way more easy to use compared to Jobdiva which I felt is more complex in terms of usage.
Chose Ceipal ATS
I have not used any other ATS other than Ceipal ATS might be its so fortunate that I would not like use any other ATS in future. Its so addictive trust me with its enriched features, integration and customization are surely beneficial and I don't think any other ATS can match …
Chose Ceipal ATS
Navigation is generally intuitive, but could benefit from some streamlining. Ceipal ATS AI search candidate matching capabilities were a significant factor, aiming to improve candidate quality and streamline the hiring process. Ceipal ATS often presents a more cost-effective …
Chose Ceipal ATS
As mentioned earlier more numbers of user are able to login at a single stretch, while login with their individual website we cant able to login more than 3 users, I had used Job diva during 2018-2020, But Ceipal ATS 10 times better that as per usage . When comparing Ceipal ATS …
Chose Ceipal ATS
Additionally, it's budget-friendly and user-friendly.
Chose Ceipal ATS
Ceipal ATS is much preferable to other ATS software. For example, it helps us submit the candidate's profile to the client and schedule the candidate's interview. Ceipal ATS also helps us track the candidate in case the candidate has submitted a number of clients. Also, the …
Chose Ceipal ATS
High cost and minimal options.
Chose Ceipal ATS
We have used one more job boards platform of LinkedIn. That is used directly to connect the candidates only. We didn’t contact them directly, but the ceipal ATS has a candidate database (contact number, email ID, and resumes), so we can use that quickly to get the results that.
Chose Ceipal ATS
More compatible with other websites & applications.
Chose Ceipal ATS
We can't get any quality profiles in B.ll Horna, and there are so many leggings, so we are switching to Ceipal.
Chose Ceipal ATS
Zoniac is not a user friendly tool to track whole candidate status like, submissions, interview and availability

Jobdiva also offering similar option but we are unable to integrate applications in it
Chose Ceipal ATS
I heard that people use other ATS tools for sourcing the profiles and maintaining the some standards. I would strongly recommed them to use Ceipal ATS atleast once in their life, then definitely they will love it to go with Ceipal ATS. There is no other choice.
Chose Ceipal ATS
the only reason we use Ceipal ATS is that integration of various portals and easy user interface, its very useful for client submission and find out the duplicate resume and scheduling the interview. where other ATS where we don't get much user interface
Chose Ceipal ATS
I've not used optional applications other than Ciepal.
Chose Ceipal ATS
Ceipal ATS systems seamlessly automate recruitment processes and allow hiring managers to source, shortlist, and select the right candidates. In other words, ATS is like an applicant data repository that can be used to automate workflows and maintain compliance all along the …
Chose Ceipal ATS
I like Ceipal ATS much better than Salesforce. I haven't used Salesforce in years, but I enjoy using Ceipal ATS much better. I think Ceipal ATS has the ability to outperform Salesforce.
Chose Ceipal ATS
I have not used any other ATS. I am working as a US IT Recruiter and i have 5 years of Experience and i have only used Ceipal ATS.
Lever
Chose Lever
Lever doesn't have quite as many features as Greenhouse, and Greenhouse would probably be a better choice for a large enterprise organization, but for small enterprises and below, Lever will work great, and it's quite a bit less expensive.
Chose Lever
Lever is more visually intuitive. It is a faster platform since it requires less clicking around to accomplish tasks.
Chose Lever
I think Lever stacks up fairly well and is right above the midpoint. iCIMS and GreenHouse provide a larger, more Enterprise style product for huge scale, so I'd put the two of them above Lever at this time, but we chose Lever over GreenHouse for a reason. I just don't know if …
Chose Lever
Lever's candidate first view over job requisition view is confusing and often managers are unable to get a real time update of their pipeline, I've found. I'd recommend Greenhouse
Chose Lever
Lever is comparable to Greenhouse in its basic recruiting functions. I have found it to be WAY better than Bullhorn (clunky and overly-complicated with a very dated and non-intuitive interface) and Jazz HR (slick and pretty, but limited in its functions). The best ATS I've used …
Chose Lever
I will be reaching out to Greenhouse to compare, but I am not familiar with the product just that it has a good reputation. UKG (Ulitpro) was worse than Lever when I used it last.
Chose Lever
I strongly prefer greenhouse, but lever will get the job done. Equal cost I go with greenhouse. If Lever is much cheaper they aren't wildly differentiated
Chose Lever
Lever is a great option for nonprofit organizations, campaigns, and the like. It is an easy enough system for both the operations team and prospective job candidates to use, facilitate, and navigate with little to no training. It is also a huge time saver when trying to fill …
Chose Lever
I wasn't part of the evaluation process but it seems like Lever was selected due to its simplicity and ability for employees to easily refer their friends to work here. As mentioned, I wish there was more collaboration involved throughout the hiring process--could be something …
Chose Lever
Lever is one of the best products out there because the customer support is so great. They are super helpful and can help in any way you need. This is what makes it stand out against other products.
Chose Lever
Lever is a less 'mature' ATS. Also much less expensive. iCIMS is a much more robust ATS.
Chose Lever
We have used Recruiterbox previously, but the recruitment team decommissioned it due to a few reasons that I am not sure of. However, I can see that lever generally aesthetically is more pleasing to use.
Chose Lever
I think that lever is much more secure and manageable than similar tools, especially when dealing with warm referrals. Lever may not have the outbound/social aspect that other cold-recruitment tools may have, but as I said before I think the quality of hires has increased …
Chose Lever
Lever and Recruiterbox are comparable systems. Lever allows for better "interview panels" which must be scheduled individually in Recruiterbox.
Chose Lever
We were using a free version of Breezy before. It was clunky and difficult to use. The time spent trying to navigate the product could be better spent on candidates. I used it for a few weeks while waiting for Lever to get spun up, and the transition from one to the other was …
Chose Lever
From an interviewer perspective, both are similar in that they provide easy feedback inputs and organization. Overall I liked Greenhouse better in my previous role because it seemed to have more customization around quantitative evaluation. You could break down more skills with …
Chose Lever
That's a tall order to ask. It's the latest generation ATS and seemed easier to configure than Greenhouse. SmartRecruiter didn't appear to have the reporting we wanted. In comparison to Taleo and Brassring it is superlative. It is definitely clear that they spoke to actual …
Chose Lever
I checked different products mainly based on paper. There was a kind of Gartner chart available which described the strength and weaknesses of the systems. I matched my thoughts with this document which brought me to Lever due to the following reasons: 1. Have the potential to …
Chose Lever
Lever was certainly more expensive than a beta test for GoogleHire, and about on par with Greenhouse. We ultimately went with Lever over Greenhouse due to its sleek, intuitive UI design. And we chose Lever over GoogleHire beta program because the latter didn't seem to provide …
Chose Lever
Lever is easily the most effective ATS that I've used. It blows much of the competition away with respect to how well it integrates with our email system and allows easy collaboration.

Likelihood to Recommend
Moving to Ceipal ATS was the worst decision we made at the organization I work for. The data loss, lies sold to us from their team, the inability to send emails and text messages successfully, the reporting limitations, the career site limitations across industry and categories… all of it… is quite possibly the biggest Mistake we have made. This horrible platform quite possibly will sink the organization i work for.

Managing pipeline and candidate communication is easy through lever. Keeping it all in one place allows the hiring teams to be in the loop real-time. The reporting is clunky and basic, however, and without a 3rd party tool, sourcing from the lever database is difficult. Also, it is very easy to have duplicate candidates since the alerts Lever gives are often incorrect

Pros
  • Once we are able to utilize all the functionality in Ceipal ATS, we will be able to have a quick snapshot of each of our programs to see daily and future interviews, and other tasks.
  • The dashboard is easy to read. Again, once we can utilize all the functionality in Ceipal ATS, it will be super helpful to see a quick snapshot overview of my programs.

  • Great integration: Keeps a list of Outlook email communication along with LinkedIn and other data sources
  • Is fairly lively, not too much lag between screens even though it is looking through a lot of data.
  • Has excellent reporting on how well each email message is working.

Cons
  • While creating a placement, the order in which country and zip code show makes no sense.
  • If we enter zip code first and then country, then the zip code vanishes, and if we want to fill country first we have to scroll down then scroll up for zip code
  • It automatically logs off a user, and they have to re-login again and again.
  • Often few users id gets deactivated automatically and as a admin I have to reactivate it again and again.

  • It would be nice if we were provided a more detailed summary of why our referrals were not selected for a position.
  • The feedback feature that interviewers can give on candidates is great, but it is sometimes hard to find again after completion.
  • If there is a mobile version, better marketing/awareness on this would be helpful.

We have been using this ATS for the past few years and have never had any major problems. It is being used for candidate sourcing as well as keeping track of all our candidate's databases. In the market, there are very few ATS software available, and I think Ceipal is the best among all.

Usability
One of the easiest interfaces among the other ATS is Ceipal ATS, which reduces manual effort due to the AI automation integration, which increases the productivity of high-volume tasks. The overall Ceipal ATS interface looks presentable or is easy to approach due to its automation tools.

It isn't difficult to use for the applicant processing, but [I feel] if you want to pull reports or use their tools, good luck!

Reliability and Availability
In my tenure of using this software, there were multiple times when I faced a technical outage, and it was not too long. We had it resolved as we connected with the support, and they informed us immediately that the developer team is working on it and will get the issue resolved.

Performance
I never faced any problem loading the Ceipal login page and when I had a problem it was just my browser. I rarely use any other browser other than Chrome. Even after integrating with other job portals, Ceipal never gets hung or there is any error loading page I have received.

I would rate myself a 5 out of 10 in coding. While I have a basic understanding of coding languages like Java and Python, I am still learning and honing my skills. However, I am eager to learn and willing to put in the effort to improve my coding abilities.

I think Lever stacks up fairly well and is right above the midpoint. iCIMS and Greenhouse provide a larger, more Enterprise style product for huge scale, so I'd put the two of them above Lever at this time, but we chose Lever over Greenhouse for a reason. I just don't know if we'd be able to scale to the size we'd want to long-term with their product suite. Compared to the others listed here, and many others, I would take Lever every time.

Scalability
I have given an 8 rating as the Ceipal is being used in our department for mostly recruitment purposes so we don't have many other departments. We use Ceipal for recruitment and for sales purposes. Currently, it's being used for the bother dept and working absolutely fine so I think an 8 rating is reasonable.
