Best Lever integrations, by category

Businesses of all sizes, from small startups to established enterprises, use Lever to nurture and hire the best of the best candidates. And while Lever is a powerful system of record on its own, the right integrations can significantly expand its capacity. 

Top recruiters and talent managers use Lever integrations for sourcing candidates that aren’t already in their CRM, enhancing outbound recruiting with advanced sequencing and direct mail campaigns, streamlining complex scheduling, and coordinating assessments within the hiring workflow.

Here, explore a list of the best Lever integrations, organized by job-to-be done, to build out your tech stack.

How Lever integrations work

Lever can integrate with third-party systems in two ways: through native integrations, which are a core part of Lever’s product, or through marketplace integrations, which are part of Lever’s Partner Marketplace and connected to Lever through third-party tools. 

Depending on the tool, the integration can share data in one or both directions. A one-way push sends data from Lever to another system, while a two-way sync transfers data in both directions, and changes in one system automatically update the other. Some integrations rely on APIs and webhooks to exchange data directly, while others use middleware as the go-between.

The best Lever integrations by category

Make the most of using Lever by integrating the platform with the following tools.

Sourcing and candidate discovery

Lever is a system of record that helps recruiters, hiring managers, and talent ops leads nurture the candidates in your CRM and hire the best. Rather than depending on the existing pool of candidates, sourcing integrations help you find qualified contenders that aren’t already in the CRM to enrich your pool of potential new hires. 

Juicebox

Juicebox empowers recruiters to find candidates that don’t already exist in their CRM, finding candidates you wouldn’t necessarily come across on your own without hours of deep research.

Recruiters and hiring managers can describe exactly who they’re looking for using plain, everyday language, and Juicebox’s autonomous AI agent can pull from over 800 million profiles across more than 30 sources (including GitHub and research publications) to find right-fit candidates. And the information is always up-to-date, delivering verified email addresses and phone numbers for each candidate so you don’t have to waste time trying to find the correct information.

Juicebox also adds an intelligence layer around sourcing that provides more granular insight into the potential new hires. For example, you can see whether the candidate’s ideal income is within range (thanks to compensation data from Levels.fyi), and you can get a visual on how they move between companies. The integration also offers network and warm-intro sourcing and hiring manager workflows that make recruitment more efficient and effective. Plus, with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 42001-ready governance, and a public Warden AI bias audit, you can trust that your data is safe. 

Sourced candidates flow into Lever, so discovery happens in Juicebox while the pipeline lives in Lever.

Outreach and engagement

Lever’s built-in Talent Relationship Management (TRM) combines ATS functionality with CRM capabilities, allowing you to find, nurture, and hire top talent. With outreach and engagement integrations, you can streamline outreach on top of the built-in CRM, syncing data back to the candidate record in Lever. 

Gem

Gem is a pipeline tool that integrates with Lever’s CRM. This bidirectional integration allows you to create opportunities in Lever, add candidates from Gem to job postings in Lever, and manage candidates in both platforms. 

Gem’s advanced sequencing and analytics give Lever’s native nurturing a boost. By syncing email conversations from Gem into the Lever instance, adding necessary context to the candidate’s record, and changing a candidate’s Opportunity stage, this integration enables deeper, more personalized outbound campaigns.

Sense

Sense adds AI-powered candidate engagement and two-way text messaging on top of Lever's CRM. When a candidate moves through the pipeline, Sense can trigger personalized text campaigns, interview reminders, and re-engagement nudges, syncing the activity back to the candidate's record in Lever.

Because so much candidate communication now happens over text, Sense reaches applicants on a channel email often misses, and its automation keeps outreach consistent without adding manual work. Paired with Gem's email sequencing, it gives a Lever team coverage across both channels.

Scheduling and interviews

Scheduling interviews can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the recruitment process. From syncing schedules to coordinating calendars, setting up time to meet can easily command several hours of a hiring manager’s already-packed schedule. Here are two scheduling and interview integrations that simplify the process.

Prelude

Prelude’s Lever integration allows teams to sync interview schedules across multiple calendars. It excels in the face of complex interviews, making tricky panel logistics easier without extraneous manual data entry.

Prelude automatically syncs data back to Lever, writing back candidate updates and updating interview stages in the candidate record in Lever’s CRM. The platform shows when an interview’s been booked or needs to be rescheduled, and triggers actions based on the stages you’ve designated in Lever.

Zoom

Zoom is a go-to video conferencing tool that enables remote and hybrid interviewing. By generating Zoom links and automatically attaching them to interview events in Lever, this integration removes the unnecessary step of manually creating and adding a new link for each interview. 

Note that Zoom links can only be used if your Lever instance syncs with G Suite or Office 365. It doesn’t work with Microsoft Exchange.

Assessment and screening

The assessment portion of the interview shows you how well a candidate will adapt to the tasks they’ll have to complete if they get the job. These demonstrations often happen outside of the tools you use in your hiring workflow, forcing you to manually take and share notes. Here are two screening and assessment tools that integrate with Lever and automatically attach to the candidates’ records.

TestGorilla

Through the TestGorilla integration, you can invite candidates to take an assessment and attach the results to the candidate’s record, all without leaving your Lever instance.

Additionally, you can connect certain tests to specific job postings, designate the stage at which invitations are sent, and automatically send them to candidates who get to that stage. You can even designate which stages they progress to if they pass. The integration makes this process seamless, skipping over the need for manual intervention while enriching the candidate’s profile.

CoderPad

The CoderPad integration lets hiring managers set up live testing environments for candidates who advance to a designated stage of the interview. Once the interviewee progresses to that stage, a “pad” is automatically created, and the link to the live skills test interview is added to the candidate opportunity in Lever. This integration simplifies an otherwise complex process, allowing you to see all the evaluation materials in one location.

Analytics and automation 

Even though it’s natively outfitted with analytics and automation tools, Lever’s integration with these tools extends its capacity to move data between systems, avoiding the need to duplicate data entry.

Google Sheets

With a Google Sheets integration, recruiters, hiring managers, and talent ops leads can create custom dashboards using Lever’s reporting or an automation connector. You can export the data within Lever’s CRM into a spreadsheet that combines with data from other functions or processes or visualizes important data around hiring trends, candidate progress, and even recruiter bandwidth. This integration provides a simple export and reporting layer outside the ATS.

Zapier

Where API or webhook connections aren’t available, Zapier is middleware that connects Lever to hundreds of apps, and you don’t need specialized coding knowledge to set it up. You can create “zaps” that facilitate workflows between apps, triggering actions in one app based on behavior in another. Like Google Sheets, Zapier supports operational expediency rather than performing recruitment-specific actions.

How to choose the right Lever integrations

Lever has hundreds of integrations that your team can use to improve their recruitment and hiring process. But you might not need all of them, and it’s probably not wise to start using all of them at the same time. Here’s how to choose the Lever integrations that are right for you.

1. Start from the gap in your current process

Begin by figuring out where the biggest bottleneck is in your process, whether that’s sourcing, scheduling, testing, or something else. Starting with your biggest problem area ensures that the integration you choose will have a real impact on your talent operations and workflows.

2. Check the integration type

Confirm how the integration with Lever is facilitated: which direction the data flows and whether or not it connects directly via API and webhooks or uses middleware. The integration type will confirm whether the data writes back to Lever or worsens your information silo.

3. Pilot one integration on a single workflow

Start with one integration. Piloting a connection with a single workflow allows you to see how well it works on a smaller scale so you can work out the kinks before rolling it out to the rest of the team.

Start with sourcing: Connect Juicebox

The caliber of candidate you ultimately hire depends on the depth of the candidate pool you pull from. 

Juicebox enhances sourcing and candidate discovery by allowing recruiters to search for candidates across over 800 million profiles across more than 30 sources using plain language, then feed them into Lever’s CRM.
