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.

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. 

Disabling the Hireguide integration

  • Navigate to Settings > Integrations and API > Authorized Apps
