Make the most out of Lever
Lever tracks what’s happening in your hiring funnel, but it can’t show you how each stage is experienced. Starred brings that missing layer of context by capturing feedback from candidates and internal teams, helping you identify bottlenecks, remove friction, and gives targeted suggestions to improve your hiring process.
"Before Starred, only 9% of our candidates filled out the survey. With Starred, we have up to 64% in some stages and the overall response rate is 36%. Switching to Starred helped us increase the response rate dramatically."
