What it does
Lever combines applicant tracking with candidate relationship management, so recruiters can manage active applicants and people they may approach for future roles. Nurture tools personalize outreach from recruiters or hiring managers and follow up with past candidates. Pricing is quoted by organization, with onboarding and other specialist capabilities offered as add-ons.
Lever's candidate relationship tools are useful when a promising contact is not ready for an open role today. The team can maintain that relationship alongside active applicants, then return to its existing talent pool when another vacancy opens.
Advanced Nurture uses reusable email templates and personalized outreach, including messages sent on behalf of a hiring manager or leader. Follow-ups can run automatically, while recruiting analytics help the team review engagement. The main hiring workspace also covers interviews, scheduling and applicant stages.
The core package combines applicant tracking, candidate relationships, reporting and unlimited AI interview transcripts and summaries. Candidate Insights, AI screening through VONQ and onboarding are separate add-ons. Request a quote based on the company's size, hiring needs and implementation.
