Sourcing & Nurturing
As the first phases of the talent management cycle, sourcing and nurturing prospective candidates are integral to achieving your hiring goals. With LeverTRM, talent teams can easily create and manage job postings in sync with available headcount and budget. As the pipeline fills with sourced candidates, recruiters can efficiently communicate with them via personalized email campaigns.
Job Postings
Postings contain all information related to a role including the job description. Postings also contain prompts for all fundamental hiring information you require from candidates as well as any unique information you would like them to provide when applying. Postings are then associated with requisitions to ensure alignment and measurability with your team's hiring goals.
Postings can be followed by relevant stakeholders in your organization, so that everyone that needs a line of sight into the performance of a posting has one. Finally, postings can automatically tag applicants so you can report on and rediscover them later.
To learn more about job postings, refer to the following support articles:
Job Boards & Sites
LeverTRM natively integrates with LinkedIn, Indeed, and SEEK, allowing you to push postings that you create to these job boards. You can also generate unique links for postings so that they can shared on a variety of supported job boards such as GitHub and ZipRecruiter.
In addition, LeverTRM comes with a ready-made job site that you can use for both external and internal postings. You can also use Lever's Postings API to integrate Lever with your organization's own custom job site.
Applicants entering your candidate pipeline through job boards or your job site are tagged accordingly so you can report on the performance of these sources later on.
To learn more about job boards and sites, refer to the following support articles:
Requisitions
Requisitions are the counterpart to postings. They allow you to set hiring goals for your organization's departments and teams, enabling you to forecast the success of your recruitment campaigns which can then be aligned to your company's growth.
Within a requisition, you dictate the headcount and compensation band for the role(s) being hired for. Requisitions can then be linked to postings, so that applicants that are extended an offer or ultimately hired are attributed to the correct headcount. Requisitions are included among your Analytics dashboards so you can report on their yield across any timeframe.
To learn more about requisitions, refer to the following support articles:
- Creating and managing requisitions
- Understanding the difference between job postings and requisitions
Email Templates & Campaigns
Email templates can be used to streamline a recruiter's communication efforts. Email copy that recruiters find themselves sending regularly can be collected in each user's personal email template blank and easily inserted into emails sent through Lever. Placeholder tokens can be used to add a layer of personalization, by automatically pulling information about the candidate or the role into the templated message.
These templates can be used in tandem with LeverTRM's Nurture functionality, which allows recruiters to add a potential candidate to a multi-wave email campaign.
Talent teams using Lever's Advanced Nurture add-on plan get the added bonus of using shared templates and sending email campaigns to up to 50 candidates at once.

Interviewing & Hiring

Candidate Pipeline

This comprehensive perspective makes it easy for recruiters to filter candidates based a variety of parameters including sources, tags and last interaction, as well as keep close tabs on candidates that are being considered for more than one job opportunity. Your team can also take action directly from the pipeline view to leave feedback for candidates or schedule them for the next stage in their recruitment journey.

Options to draft internal notes and emails to candidates are woven throughout the workflow.

Feedback Forms
A feedback form consists of the ratings and questions that an evaluator must answer when interviewing a candidate. Feedback forms are akin to templates that can be attached to any scheduled interview.

Offers

Tags
Tags are identification labels that get attached to candidates and postings throughout your team's LeverTRM environment. Tags are attached automatically to a candidate as they enter and move through your pipeline to denote characteristics such as their source and the jobs they are applying for. Tags can also be added manually to candidates and postings when being managed by members of your team.
Tag application is incredibly important when it comes to reporting accuracy and dashboard filtration. You never know how you may want to slice your recruitment data in the future, so maximize your ability to report on your candidates and postings by applying and curating sources and tags regularly.
To learn more about sources and tags, refer to the following support articles:
Rediscovery Recommendations
LeverTRM's proprietary recommendations algorithm reviews your archived candidates and resurfaces those with the highest potential relative to your active postings. LeverTRM then allows your team to re-engage with these candidates through a Nurture email campaign, all as part of the same workflow. In competitive talent markets, reconnecting with high value candidates that you have already sourced allows your team to make the most of their recruitment efforts.

Google Chrome Extension
LeverTRM's Google Chrome extension allows recruiters to easily create candidate profiles when sourcing on external sites like LinkedIn and GitHub.

Easy Book Links
Candidates can use Easy Book links to self-select an interview time based on their interviewer's availability.
