Lever Lever: AI Visibility Report

lever.co ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about staffing & recruiting software, Lever ranks #9 of 15, a Visibility Score of 15 in Staffing & Recruiting Software .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Lever

One race, rank 9, and Lever is barely in it.

Where it wins. Lever does register in Staffing and Recruiting Software conversations, landing a 22% mention rate in a 15-vendor field where most competitors go unmentioned entirely.

Where it loses. Its score of 14.9 out of that crowded field earns zero first-pick selections, and AI models skip Lever entirely when buyers ask about best overall tools, enterprise picks, or specific use cases, leaving it visible only when the conversation turns to budget tradeoffs and alternatives.
