Easy Book Improvements (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
Lever’s Easy Book feature receives regular updates to improve the interview scheduling process for our users and their candidates. With the buffer time enhancement, you can now select a buffer time before or after interviews. This helps avoid back-to-back sessions where there is no time to log notes or prepare for the following interview. Refer to our help article on creating and using Easy Book links.

Spring 2024 Off-Cycle Features
Our Spring 2024 off-cycle feature product release is scheduled to roll out progressively to Lever accounts in June 2024.
Off-cycle features are released outside of the standard seasonal release window of the Product Release in which they are included.
Easy Book Enhancements (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
The Easy Book Link creation page will allow users to set the maximum number of interviews that interviewers can take per day. If the maximum slots are booked, then that interviewer will be unavailable to be booked for the rest of the day. This prevents interviewers from being overbooked and allows them to balance hiring tasks with other business critical activities, therefore removing scheduling friction and streamlining the hiring process. Learn more in our help article on creating and using Easy Book links.
Compliance Search and Filter (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
Users can locate candidates using compliance filters on the Candidates Dashboard and Advanced Search to request consent from candidates who are missing it, proactively reach out to candidates whose consent is expiring soon, and anonymize expired candidates to remain compliant. Learn more in our help article on searching the database for candidates.
User Workspace Approvals Widget Enhancements (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
The Approvals widget has been updated for a more complete and actionable view of a user’s pending approvals. These updates include requests assigned to the user now appear in the widget alongside their owned requests, and new filtering in the widget by Type (Requisition/Posting/Offer) and Ownership (created by user vs. assigned to user). Learn more in our help article on using your User Workspace.
Legacy Reporting Deprecation (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
In preparation for the deprecation of Lever’s Legacy Reporting later this year, we are removing the ability for users to set their default reporting experience to the Legacy version. All users will now be automatically directed to Visual Insights. Users can still access Legacy Reports by clicking the 'Take me back to legacy reporting' link (near the top of the page) until its full deprecation in September 2024. Learn more about the transition in our help article on transitioning to Visual Insights.
Referrals Update (Lever Basic, LeverTRM, LeverTRM for Enterprise)
When users add a new opportunity to an existing profile, they can select a referrals-generated opportunity from the 'Copy from opportunity' drop-down menu. If the 'Referral information' box is checked, Lever will now automatically copy over the complete referral form. Learn more in our adding new opportunities to existing candidate profiles.
