Hirenga vs Lever – A Simpler, Smarter ATS for Small Teams
A lighter ATS alternative to Lever — built for small teams, not big processes.
If you've ever tried Lever as a small business or early-stage startup, you probably noticed one thing quickly: it’s powerful — but overwhelming. It's packed with features, complex workflows, and detailed analytics. Great for large recruiting teams, but what about small teams with no dedicated recruiter?
Hirenga is here for those teams. It’s a clean, AI-powered applicant tracking system designed for founders, managers, and growing teams that just need to hire efficiently — without spending weeks learning how the software works.
✨ Feature Comparison
🎯 Streamlined for Simplicity
Hirenga focuses only on hiring — nothing more, nothing less. Simple UI, quick setup, and features that solve real problems.
Lever is designed for scaling organizations, and while it’s very capable, it comes with steep learning curves and processes not suited for lean teams.
🧠 Smarter with AI
Hirenga uses AI to do the heavy lifting:
- Parses PDF CVs
- Extracts contact + profile data
- Scores candidates based on job descriptions
- Summarizes CVs and sends smart rejection emails
Lever does not include AI-powered evaluation or scoring out-of-the-box, requiring manual review or additional integrations.
🧩 Workflow Design
Hirenga gives you a visual Kanban board for managing applicants. It’s drag-and-drop, fast, and intuitive.
Lever uses a more traditional pipeline and CRM-style interface — flexible, but more than most teams need.
💸 Transparent Pricing
Hirenga offers public, affordable plans with no surprises. What you see is what you pay.
Lever requires a demo and quote — typically priced for mid-size or large companies.
⚙️ Setup & Speed
Hirenga gets you hiring in under 10 minutes. No onboarding, no account managers.
Lever often requires a longer sales cycle, implementation, and support.
👥 Who Should Choose Hirenga?
- Solo founders or operations managers handling hiring
- Startups and small teams who just opened their first roles
- Businesses that don’t have time or budget for complex systems
- Teams that want AI to help, not more tabs and dashboards
