The Hireguide integration will help you and your team work quickly and seamlessly across both platforms. For Hireguide users with the ATS integration add-on you can: (1) pull open jobs and candidates directly from Lever into Hireguide, and (2) sync interview notes, highlights, and candidate scores into Lever. This article will walk you through the steps to enable the Hireguide + Lever integration. Please note that your Hireguide account must have the ATS integration add-on enabled before proceeding. If this is not enabled in your Hireguide account, you may reach out to support@hireguide.com to request this feature. Once your Hireguide account has been provisioned, you may proceed with enabling the Hireguide integration with Lever.

Configuring the Hireguide integration
Sync your job postings to Hireguide
- In Hireguide, navigate to the Positions page (located in the lefthand navigation bar)
- Click Add a Position
-
Under 'Add a role', type in the role for which you are hiring
- The role is used to suggest skills and interview content for you.
- The role will also be used as the default Position name until you either edit it or sync the position with Lever.
-
Under 'Connect to ATS', type in the matching job from Lever and select the associated job.
- Your Job must already exist in Lever for this to work.
- Click Next
- The Job name in Lever will automatically override the Hireguide Position name. The job posting and the candidates will also be synced from Lever. This can take a few minutes depending on how many candidate opportunities are associated with your Lever Job.
- You will be able to see when the job was most recently synced with Lever at the top of the selected position screen. Your job is now added to Hireguide as a position.
Managing sync settings for your positions
Once a position has been added, you will be able to manage sync settings for each of your positions in Hireguide.
- To access sync settings in Hireguide, click on the button to the right of the Lever sync status bar.
-
From here, you will be able to toggle sync settings to pull in candidates and job details from Lever
- We recommend enabling ‘Import Job Details’ and ‘Import Applicant Details’ to keep your positions in Hireguide updated.
- Last sync and sync status can be viewed from this screen
- If needed, toggle an immediate sync via the Sync Now button
-
Candidates opportunities and job details will now automatically sync with Hireguide
- You can also use the 'Sync Now' action to force an immediate sync. This is useful if you have just added an opportunity to the Job in Lever and you would like to see the job immediately listed in Hireguide.

Frequently asked questions
How often does the integration sync Lever data with Hireguide?
Sync frequency varies by data type and your unique company setup. Most commonly, the integration syncs certain types of data (e.g. applicant data) every 30 minutes, but may take up to 2 hours to sync other data types (e.g. job details). You can always trigger a manual sync via the Sync Now button to ensure that you have the latest data.
How long does it take for the integration to sync Lever data with Hireguide?
During the first-time integration setup, it may take 20-30 minutes for all of Lever’s data to sync with Hireguide. After that, changes should be synced within 3 minutes.
