Lever (formally LeverTRM, marketed as 'Talent Relationship Management') is a cloud-native applicant tracking system + talent CRM, founded in 2012 by Sarah Nahm, Nate Smith, and Randal Truong in San Francisco.
Vertical: Enterprise / HR / ERP, specifically the ATS / talent acquisition slice (Sanity vertical: Enterprise/HR/ERP; Airtable bucket: misc). Create and post requisitions to internal career sites + external job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Built In).
High within the mid-market modern-ATS tier, moderate at full-enterprise.
Opportunities (the canonical pipeline object: a person applying to a posting): name, contact info, source, applied date, owner, stage, archived status, archive reason, hire date, tags, links, custom fields. Contacts: deduplicated person records across multiple opportunities.
Founded 2012, ~13-14 years old as of 2026. Cloud-native, single-tenant-style SaaS from inception; built on a modern React-style frontend with a JSON REST API surface.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
