About

Lever, a San Francisco and Toronto-based company that provides applicant tracking software for recruiting, laid off 86 employees last week, representing 40% of its workforce. The cuts impacted all departments as the recruiting technology sector faces significant challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic, with many companies slowing or freezing hiring. This move aligns with broader trends, as other recruiting startups like ZipRecruiter, AngelList, and Triplebyte have also recently conducted layoffs.
