Integrating CLARA + Lever | CLARA Help Center

Speed up hiring with CLARA’s Lever integration. Instantly screen candidates, generate CLARA scores, and enrich profiles—all within Lever. Simplify evaluations, collaborate seamlessly with your team, and reduce unintentional bias with built-in de-identification.

Setting up the CLARA integration

You must be a team or organization with Partner admin rights in CLARA to install this integration.

To configure the CLARA integration, you’ll need to enable the integration in the CLARA app, and set up the webhooks between CLARA and Lever using the following steps:

Log into CLARA using your Partner Admin credentials.
Navigate to Settings > Integrations
Click Add New Integration.

Select Lever from the list of ATSs.
Click on Connect to ATS.

On the modal, sign in to your Lever Admin account to connect both platforms.

Review the list of requested permissions and click Accept to authorize the integration.

You will be redirected to CLARA to select jobs to process.

Configuring the CLARA integration

In CLARA, select which jobs you would like to process using the CLARA integration.
You can select jobs from Lever at any time using CLARA.

Note: If the job doesn’t appear, ensure that the job on Lever is listed as "External job site."

Click Next: Follow-up Questions

Select which pipeline stages CLARA should use when sending out candidate follow-up questions.

Next, select which Lever applicant statuses you want to map to the status within CLARA. Changing an applicant’s status in Lever will update the status in CLARA. However, changing an applicant's status directly in the CLARA tool will not update the status in Lever.

Finally, check the Lever webhook page. In Lever go to Settings > Integrations and API > Webhooks to ensure that CLARA’s connections are verified and active.

Congratulations! The connection between CLARA and Lever is active.

Using the CLARA integration

Screening with CLARA

This section shows what the experience looks like both in CLARA and in Lever.

Step 1: Log In

Begin by logging in to CLARA with your Recruiter or Partner Admin credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to the Job Candidates Page

Once logged in, find candidates by scrolling to the specific job you're managing and clicking into it.

You'll notice that CLARA has already pre-sorted candidates into categories such as 'Not Qualified' or 'Pre-Qualified' based on their CLARA scores that reflect the specific requirements set for the role.

To perform this analysis, CLARA reads the job description using semantic AI techniques. CLARA extracts from that a list of requirements broken down into categories like personal skills, hard skills, experience and more, and compares candidate application materials (resume, cover letter, answers to follow-up questions) to rank them and score them.

As CLARA scores candidates, the integration is able to move them into categories such as Not Qualified or Pre-Qualified.

Step 3: Access Candidate Application Profiles

Click into a candidate card to open the Candidate Application Profile.

Here, you'll find a wealth of information including the CLARA score and details, requirements match, a candidate summary, detailed education and experience information, and a comments section for internal communication.

The scores you find in the Candidate Application Profile are added as notes on the candidate opportunity in Lever.

Here's an example of how score notes appear in Lever, and the status appears as a CLARA status is added as a tag (CLARA pre_qualified, CLARA qualified, CLARA not_qualified):

Step 4: Drag and Drop Candidates

As you review candidates in CLARA, you can manage them by dragging and dropping their candidate cards between columns/categories. This streamlines your work by allowing you to quickly organize and prioritize candidates for further consideration or next steps.

Step 5: Share Qualified Candidates with the Hiring Manager

Once you've identified a list of qualified candidates in CLARA, click on the Share with Hiring Manager button above the columns on the upper-right side of your screen.

This action will open a popup window enabling you to include a personalized message for the Hiring Manager or to provide additional information that may assist in their decision-making process. When you click Share with Hiring Manager in the popup window, your message will be delivered and the Hiring Manager will be notified.

Step 6: Review the Hiring Manager's Decision

Once you've shared the qualified candidates with the Hiring Manager, they will have an opportunity to make comments or to advance their selections. Once they have done so, you will receive a notification that will appear in the Notifications on your home screen.
