Lever
Real-time opportunity synchronization and structured role retrieval using Lever's public postings API.
Overview
Lever is an industry-leading modern talent acquisition platform powering hiring for high-growth tech firms, venture studios, and innovation teams. Applivo integrates with Lever's public postings API to retrieve real-time job openings, structured team hierarchies, and role commitments.
Connecting Lever career sites allows candidates to monitor target companies for newly approved requisitions the moment they go live, gaining a competitive first-mover advantage.
Configuration
- Open the Integrations directory in Applivo.
- Find Lever under Job Sources.
- Enter the organization slug for your target employer (e.g., 'netflix' or 'figma' from jobs.lever.co/{company}).
- Click Track Postings. Applivo validates the API endpoint and retrieves current postings.
How it works
Applivo queries Lever's public postings API at https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{site}?mode=json:
- Data Retrieval: Lever returns an array of structured JSON posting objects including posting ID, title, team, department, location, commitment (e.g. Full-time, Internship), and description lists.
- Parsing: The system parses 'What you will do' and 'What we are looking for' bullet points into structured skill criteria.
- Analysis: Match scores are computed against your experience graph, highlighting matching languages and framework competencies.
- Application Assistance: Prepares targeted cover letters and provides clean direct portal links.
Available features
- Real-time job opening retrieval by organization slug using Lever's REST API.
- Commitment (full-time, part-time, internship) and workplace type (remote, hybrid, onsite) parsing.
- Skill matching against candidate resume and experience graph.
- Clean referral tracking and original posting verification.
Permissions and data access
The Lever integration operates on public posting endpoints without requiring candidate credentials or third-party OAuth access.
Troubleshooting
