Considered Both Products
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.
PeopleStrong
Chose PeopleStrong
I haven't used any other platform other than Peoplestrong.
Chose PeopleStrong
This has been the cheapest option compared to others and it has a lot of modules to choose as options. I am not on the decision-making committee to choose the app as a user PeopleStrong had made the people strong. As a growing organization with multiple users around the world, …

Likelihood to Recommend
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

Cons
  • 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.

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.

This has been the cheapest option compared to others and it has a lot of modules to choose as options. I am not on the decision-making committee to choose the app as a user PeopleStrong had made the people strong. As a growing organization with multiple users around the world, the need to have an app that has smooth working on the phone is a major reason to switch to PeopleStrong
