## Overview

Lever is an applicant tracking system and CRM built for talent acquisition at high-growth companies. Connecting Lever to your broader tech stack lets recruiting teams automate candidate communications, sync hiring data across HR systems, and trigger workflows the moment a candidate changes stages. Need to push new hires into your HRIS, alert hiring managers in Slack, or report pipeline metrics in your BI tool? tray.ai makes Lever the connected hub of your recruiting operation.

## Use cases

### Automated Candidate Stage Notifications

When a candidate advances or is declined in Lever, the right people get notified automatically via email or Slack — no one has to log in and check. Hiring managers, recruiters, and interviewers stay in the loop without you chasing them down, and candidates don't fall through the cracks because someone missed a stage change.

- Eliminate manual status update messages to hiring managers
- Reduce candidate response time by triggering automated outreach the moment a stage changes
- Keep interviewers and decision-makers aligned without extra meetings

### New Hire Onboarding Data Sync

When a candidate is marked as hired in Lever, their employee record gets created automatically in your HRIS — Workday, BambooHR, Rippling — accounts get provisioned in Okta, and a welcome email sequence goes out. Days of manual data entry disappear, and every new hire is set up before day one.

- Eliminate duplicate data entry between Lever and your HRIS
- Provision tools before the start date so new hires aren't waiting on IT
- Reduce human error in employee record creation

### Recruiting Pipeline Reporting and Analytics

Pull Lever opportunity, stage, and offer data into your data warehouse or BI tool on a schedule to build dashboards on hiring velocity, source effectiveness, and funnel conversion rates. Talent leadership gets the visibility they need without being boxed in by Lever's built-in reporting.

- Centralize recruiting metrics alongside business data in Looker, Tableau, or Snowflake
- Track time-to-fill and stage conversion rates across roles and departments
- Automate weekly recruiting digest reports to stakeholders

### Inbound Application Enrichment

When a new application lands in Lever, the candidate profile gets enriched automatically with data from LinkedIn, Clearbit, or GitHub — appended directly to the Lever contact record. Recruiters see a fuller picture of each applicant without doing manual research, and scoring or tagging runs automatically based on that enrichment data.

- Save recruiters 5-10 minutes of manual research per candidate
- Auto-tag or score candidates based on enriched profile data
- Surface relevant background signals immediately instead of discovering them mid-process

### Interview Scheduling and Calendar Coordination

Connect Lever with Google Calendar or Outlook to automatically detect interviewer availability and schedule interviews the moment a candidate moves to an interview stage. Calendar invites go out to all parties with Zoom or Google Meet links, and Lever updates with the scheduled details automatically.

- Cut interview scheduling time from days to minutes
- Eliminate back-and-forth emails to coordinate interviewer calendars
- Ensure Lever records always reflect the latest scheduled interview details

### Candidate Source ROI Tracking

Push Lever candidate source and outcome data into your CRM or marketing analytics platform to close the loop on job board and campaign spend. You can track which sources — LinkedIn, Indeed, employee referrals — actually produce accepted offers and hires, not just application volume.

- Attribute hires back to specific sourcing channels and campaigns
- Automatically update Salesforce or HubSpot with recruiting pipeline data
- Optimize job advertising spend based on actual hire outcomes

### AI-Powered Candidate Screening and Triage

Use tray.ai's AI capabilities to automatically review new Lever applications against job requirements, generate structured summaries of candidate qualifications, and route strong matches to recruiters as prioritized tasks. High-volume hiring teams can focus on the most qualified candidates first instead of digging through every application manually.

- Reduce time spent reviewing unqualified applications
- Generate consistent, structured candidate summaries for every applicant
- Prioritize recruiter outreach based on AI-assessed fit scores

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Lever Webhook Events Require Reliable Processing

Lever uses webhooks to push real-time events for stage changes, new applications, and offer updates. Without a reliable integration layer, webhook payloads can be missed, fail silently, or require complex retry logic that recruiting teams can't manage on their own.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai provides a dedicated webhook trigger for Lever events with built-in error handling, automatic retries, and payload logging so no recruiting event gets lost. Recruiting ops teams can build and monitor these workflows without writing code.

### Mapping Lever Data Structures to Other Systems

Lever's API returns nested objects for opportunities, contacts, stages, and applications that need to be parsed and transformed before being written to an HRIS, ATS, or CRM. Mismatched field mappings cause broken records and data quality problems downstream.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's visual data mapper and JSONPath helpers make it straightforward to extract nested Lever fields and transform them to match the exact schema required by downstream systems like Workday, Salesforce, or BambooHR — no custom scripting needed.

### Keeping Recruiting Data in Sync Across Systems

Recruiting teams often maintain candidate data in Lever alongside records in a CRM, spreadsheet, or data warehouse. When those systems aren't actively synced, they drift apart fast — conflicting information, duplicate outreach, and reporting numbers that don't match.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai supports both real-time webhook-driven syncs and scheduled polling workflows against the Lever API, so teams can maintain a consistent source of truth across every tool in their recruiting stack.

### Handling Lever API Rate Limits During Bulk Operations

When syncing large volumes of historical candidate data or running bulk enrichment jobs, teams frequently hit Lever's API rate limits. Workflows fail partway through and leave data in an inconsistent state.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's workflow engine includes configurable rate limiting, loop controls with pagination support for Lever's list endpoints, and automatic backoff logic so bulk data operations complete reliably without manual intervention.

### Connecting Lever to Custom or Legacy Internal Tools

Many companies have proprietary HRIS platforms, homegrown employee databases, or legacy onboarding systems with no off-the-shelf connectors. That leaves Lever isolated from internal workflows and forces manual handoffs between recruiting and HR operations.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's HTTP client and universal connector capabilities let teams connect Lever to any internal API or database endpoint, so you can build custom integrations with proprietary systems without dedicated engineering resources.

## Agent features

### Retrieve Interview Feedback and Notes (Data Source)

An agent can fetch structured feedback forms and interviewer notes attached to a candidate's profile in Lever. Useful for summarizing hiring sentiment or catching incomplete feedback before a candidate moves forward.

### Look Up Opportunities and Applications (Data Source)

An agent can query Lever for specific opportunities linked to a candidate, including application dates, referral sources, and associated requisitions. This gives recruiters full context when answering questions or building pipeline reports.

### Create and Update Candidate Profiles (Agent Tool)
