Lever vs. LinkedIn Recruiter

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

I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn Recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.

• 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.

• The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
• It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
• The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
• It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

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!

This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

What support? - Add a ticket and get links to [I believe] their unhelpful user guide. Add a charge if you want better support - afterward just got those links faster...

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.

LinkedIn Recruiter provides a large pool of candidates across all these job boards and a vast number of filters that you can use to find specific talent. Features like Inmails do wonders in connecting with candidates. With the help of LinkedIn Recruiter, we are able to identify fake candidates or profiles.

Incentivized

• We have an ATS now and did not have one before
• LinkedIn integration is better than others I've seen
• Spend too much time researching unhelpful user guides since their support is terrible
• Lots of frustration with post implementation support
• Integrations break, tools don't work and settings fail which could lead to other issues

• It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
• Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
• It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.
