Considered Both Products	Lever Kristen Morale Senior Recruiting Coordinator Chose Lever It’s great. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Lever Greenhouse Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Lever Lever is more visually intuitive. It is a faster platform since it requires less clicking around to accomplish tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Brunwasser Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition + Progression Planning 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 Incentivized Helpful? TS Tasha Schlake Festel Lead Sourcer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources 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. Incentivized Helpful? Luke Ferrel Sr Director of Customer Success - Scale 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 Incentivized Helpful? SY Sara Yaseen Special Assistant & Operations Associate 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? HA Hayden Anderson EAE Chose Lever They are not too similar, but are the only two tools I've used. Incentivized Helpful? IL Ian Larkin Controller Chose Lever Simple to use with key points readily accessible. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Lever Lever is a less 'mature' ATS. Also much less expensive. iCIMS is a much more robust ATS. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? Hayden Anderson Senior Enterprise Account Development II - Team Lead 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Lever Lever and Recruiterbox are comparable systems. Lever allows for better "interview panels" which must be scheduled individually in Recruiterbox. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Hawes Sales Manager - New Verticals and Mid-Market 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Lever It's not worth the trouble. Incentivized Helpful? Allison Boyce Director Talent Acquisition - Industries, Strategy and Cloud Architecture 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Wieler Chief Executive Officer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Ashley (Gay) Graham People Operations Coordinator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Sinjin Jones Manager of Recruitment and Retention 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. Incentivized Helpful?	SourceWhale No answer on this topic

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 Incentivized TS Tasha Schlake Festel Lead Sourcer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
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.

Usability	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! Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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... Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	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 Corinne Clawson, PHR Director, Human Resources Read full review	No answers on this topic
