Automate Your Recruiting Workflows with Lever Integrations
Connect Lever to your HR stack, communication tools, and data systems to cut manual recruiting work and move candidates through your pipeline faster.
What can you do with the Lever connector?
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.
Automate & integrate Lever
Automating Lever business processes or integrating Lever data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
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
Use case
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
Use case
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
Use case
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
Use case
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
Use case
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
Build Lever Agents
Give agents secure and governed access to Lever through Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP.
Search and Retrieve Candidates
Data SourceAn agent can search Lever's candidate database by name, email, skills, or stage to pull up relevant applicant profiles. This gives the agent the context it needs during sourcing, screening, or outreach workflows.
Fetch Job Postings
Data SourceAn agent can retrieve active and archived job postings from Lever, including role details, hiring team, and pipeline stages. This is useful for matching candidates to open roles or generating recruiting reports.
Pull Candidate Pipeline Status
Data SourceAn agent can check where a candidate currently sits in the hiring pipeline across stages like application review, interviews, and offers. This helps surface stalled candidates or prioritize follow-up actions.
Retrieve Interview Feedback and Notes
Data SourceAn 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 SourceAn 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 ToolAn agent can create new candidate records in Lever or update existing profiles with enriched information like contact details, tags, or sourcing attribution. This speeds up candidate intake from external forms, referrals, or sourcing tools.
Advance or Change Pipeline Stage
Agent ToolAn agent can move a candidate to the next stage or update their stage based on interview outcomes or automation triggers. Pipelines stay current without recruiters having to do it manually.
Add Notes and Tags to Candidates
Agent ToolAn agent can append structured notes or apply tags to a candidate's Lever profile based on interactions, assessments, or enrichment data. Context stays in the ATS where the hiring team can actually find it.
Schedule and Log Interviews
Agent ToolAn agent can create interview events in Lever and associate them with the right candidate opportunity and interviewers. This automates interview scheduling triggered from calendar or messaging tools.
Post and Update Job Listings
Agent ToolAn agent can create new job postings or update existing ones in Lever, including publishing status, department, and location. Useful for automated requisition management when connected to an HRIS or headcount planning system.
Archive or Reject Candidates
Agent ToolAn agent can archive candidate opportunities in Lever with a specified reason, such as 'not a fit' or 'position filled,' to keep the pipeline clean. This can trigger automatically based on feedback scores or role closure events.
Assign Candidates to Requisitions
Agent ToolAn agent can link candidate opportunities to specific requisitions in Lever, keeping headcount tracking and pipeline attribution accurate. This matters most when candidates apply for multiple roles or are sourced proactively.
Generate Recruiting Pipeline Reports
Data SourceAn agent can pull data across jobs, stages, and time periods in Lever to produce pipeline health summaries, time-to-hire metrics, or diversity funnel snapshots. No manual reporting required.

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Lever — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
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.
Challenge
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.
Challenge
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.
Automatically creates a new employee profile in BambooHR the moment a candidate is marked as hired in Lever, mapping all relevant contact and role fields.
Enriches every new Lever candidate profile with company, title, and social data from Clearbit, then updates the Lever contact record with a structured tag and note.
Sends a Slack direct message to the assigned hiring manager whenever a candidate they own moves to a notable pipeline stage such as On-Site, Offer, or Hired.
Runs on a weekly schedule to pull all active Lever opportunities, stage counts, and source data into a structured Google Sheet for recruiting leadership review.
Triggers account provisioning in Okta the moment a candidate accepts an offer in Lever, so all systems are ready before the employee's first day.
