Lever

HR & Recruiting · Custom · since 2012

Lever is a talent acquisition suite combining ATS and CRM for proactive recruiting. It handles ats + crm, nurture campaigns, analytics, and diversity, and it's best suited for talent teams wanting a combined ats + crm. It has been around since 2012, giving it a 14-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

Pricing starts at Custom — there's no free option. It works well for mid-size teams that need more structure than a basic tool but less overhead than enterprise platforms.
