Keep your Lever pipeline fed with scored candidates.
Lever combines your ATS and candidate CRM. Instalent keeps it fed - sourcing and qualifying candidates across the open web, then pushing them into the right Lever posting with no duplicate records.
The Instalent Lever integration is a two-way sync that lets in-house recruiters source, enrich and score candidates in Instalent and push them into Lever, keeping the ATS and candidate CRM as the system of record.
Instalent complements Lever rather than replacing it. Lever pairs an ATS with a candidate CRM for growth-stage teams that nurture talent over time. Instalent adds the proactive layer - sourcing and enriching candidates across the open web, scoring fit and running multichannel outreach - then writes those candidates into the Lever posting and stage you choose, with outreach status kept in sync so your nurture pipeline stays current.
How the sync works
Fresh candidates, straight into your Lever CRM.
Candidates, postings and stages
Instalent reads your live Lever postings and pipeline stages and writes sourced candidates into the one you pick, mapping name, verified contact details and profile links onto the record.
Two-way by design
Postings and stages flow from Lever into Instalent so you target real openings; candidates and outreach status flow back, keeping Lever the system of record for your ATS and CRM.
No duplicate candidates
Identity matching means a candidate already in Lever is updated, not duplicated - which matters most in a CRM you nurture over months, where duplicate records quietly corrupt your pipeline.
Outreach status flows back
Run multichannel outreach from Instalent and the resulting status travels with the candidate, so your Lever pipeline reflects who was contacted and who replied.
Connect once with a key
Add your Lever API key in Instalent's integration settings, choose the postings you're hiring for, and push scored candidates in minutes - no engineering, no data migration.
Webhooks for advanced sync
For deeper automation, Instalent emits outbound webhooks for candidate, task and campaign events, so you can wire custom flows into Lever or your own systems.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What data syncs between Instalent and Lever?
Instalent reads your open postings and pipeline stages and writes sourced candidates back into the posting you choose, along with their outreach status. Sync stays at the level of candidates, postings/stages and activity.
Will pushing candidates create duplicates in Lever?
No. Instalent matches on candidate identity before writing, so an existing candidate is updated rather than duplicated, and repeated pushes of the same selection collapse to one record.
Is Instalent an ATS replacement?
No. Instalent complements Lever and works with your current stack - it adds AI sourcing, verified enrichment, fit scoring and multichannel outreach on top of the ATS and candidate CRM you already run.
Do I need engineering help to connect Lever?
No. You connect with your Lever API key in settings - there's no data migration and no code. Teams that want deeper automation can also use Instalent's outbound webhooks for candidate, task and campaign events.
