ATS with candidate relationship management
Primary sources checkedLever
Applicant tracking built around nurturing candidates over time rather than processing applications, sold as a core platform with add-ons on top.
The short answer
- Best for
- In-house teams that source and re-engage, not just receive applications
- Not ideal for
- Anyone who has to compare cost before a sales call, and small teams facing the add-on model
- Price
- Quote only, with no range at all, and the extras are priced separately
- Closest alternative
- AshbyPublishes its price under 100 employees, with sourcing and reporting already included

Why these assessments
- Recruitment fitStrong
- Applicant tracking built around nurturing candidates over time rather than processing applications.
- Ease of useUnknown
- We have not used it, and we found no independent account of working a nurture pipeline in it over time.
- ImplementationUnknown
- No published trial, and the vendor says nothing about what a rollout takes.
- Price transparencyWeak
- Price on request with no range at all, and an add-on model that hides the real total.
- Value for moneyUnknown
- With no figure and a total that depends on which add-ons you take, there is nothing to weigh.
- ScalabilityFair
- Pricing is stated to scale with team size and hiring needs, and the extras are bought only when needed.

The SourcrLab bottom line
The ATS that treats candidate relationships as the point, which suits teams doing real outbound. Set against that: nothing about the price is public, the capabilities are split between a core platform and paid add-ons, and there is no published trial to test the difference yourself.
Best fit
Talent teams whose pipeline is built rather than filled: outbound sourcing, talent pools and candidates you will approach again in a year.
Think twice if
Anyone who needs to compare cost before a sales call, and small teams for whom the add-on model turns a single subscription into three.
SourcrLab assessment
Everything on this page comes from the vendor's own pages, checked on the dates below. SourcrLab has not used this product in real recruitment work, so you will not find a first-hand opinion here.
Why choose Lever?
Relationships, not just requisitions
The product is designed for candidates you contact before there is a job and again after there is not one. A pure applicant tracker treats that person as closed and lost.
One system for inbound and outbound
Sourcing and applications live in the same pipeline, which removes the usual split where outbound candidates sit in a spreadsheet until they reply.
Buy the extras only if you need them
Candidate insights, AI screening and onboarding are separately sold, so a team that does not need them is not paying for them inside a bundle.
Main trade-offs
Price on request, with no range at all
The vendor states pricing scales with team size and hiring needs, and is available upon request. There are no plan names to anchor on either.
The add-on model hides the real total
Core platform plus candidate insights plus AI screening plus onboarding is four line items. Ask for the all-in figure at your team size, not the core one.
No published trial
Evaluation runs through a demo and a quote. For a product whose value is a way of working, that makes the pilot harder to arrange than with a self-serve competitor.
Pricing and buying reality
Quote only, no public pricing
- The vendor states pricing is available upon request and scales with team size and hiring needs
- Sold as a core platform with separately priced add-ons
- Named add-ons: candidate insights, AI screening and onboarding
- No plan names, price ranges or trial are published
What we do not know
- Any price, at any team size

- Minimum contract term and implementation fees

How it fits your stack
Works with
- Your HRIS and assessment tools, after the core platform
Likely replaces
- A separate talent CRM or nurture spreadsheet
- A standalone onboarding tool, if you take that add-on
May overlap with
- Greenhouse and Ashby on the same job
Check before buying
- The all-in quote including every add-on you would actually use
- Whether a pilot is possible, since no trial is published
Lever vs alternatives
Products a buyer would genuinely put next to this one, with the reason you would pick each instead.
Choose Ashby if you want a published price under 100 employees and sourcing plus reporting included rather than added on.
Consider Greenhouse when interview structure and governance weigh heavier than candidate nurture.
Consider Teamtailor if the career site and unlimited users matter more; also quote-based.
