Are you using the Lever ATS? Lever is a top ATS among employers in our Top Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS Software) in 2020 blog post.

  • Lever Hire
  • Lever Nurture
  • Lever Analytics
  • We’ll focus on Lever’s applicant tracking system since that’s where job pages are generated.

    Now let’s talk about Lever job page overlays.
     

    What is a Lever Job Page Overlay?

    A job page overlay is a design layer put over an ATS-generated job page (in this case Lever) to make job pages more attractive and engaging to candidates.

    Most ATS-generated job pages are black and white text-based web pages, supplemented with a company logo or two.

    Here’s an example of an out-of-the-box, default Lever ATS job page:

    A job page overlay allows you to turn that job page into a dynamic marketing page that includes:

    • Video
    • Images
    • Employer Branding — Closer matching to the employer’s color scheme/style sheet
    • Recruiting widgets
