My take is that Lever's features are well-optimized for companies doing outbound sourcing for roles like engineering (e.g. the extension, snooze features, pipeline structure) and where most hiring is owned by managers who don't have time to devote to mastering recruiting best practices (multi-touch sourcing with Nurture, easy scheduling, pipeline management, email sync, reporting).

Ultimately, you save a lot of money by not having to hire dedicated recruiters and recruiting coordinators, and you actually get a much better candidate experience and hiring effectiveness by having hiring managers and interviewers more closely involved in the process instead of trying to translate them through a separate recruiting team.
