How Megan Works with Lever Workflows

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Once Mega is connected to Lever, Megan isn’t just “next to” your it; she can be embedded directly into the workflows you build in Lever. That means as candidates move through stages, Megan can automatically screen, score, communicate, and move people forward (or out) based on your rules.

Below are the key actions Megan can perform inside Lever-driven workflows.

Stage & Status Automation

Move Candidate to Stage

Configure rules so that when Megan finishes her work (like screening or background checks), she can automatically move candidates to the appropriate next stage in your Lever pipeline.

The result: Less manual pipelining, more time reviewing the right candidates.

Disqualify Candidate

If a candidate clearly doesn’t meet your “must-have” criteria (based on Ideal AI Screening and AI Business Preferences), Megan can automatically disqualify them in Lever and log the reason.

  • Keeps your pipeline clean.

  • Ensures disqualification reasons are consistent and documented.

Scheduling & Candidate Engagement

Self-Schedule Candidate

Build stages where, once a candidate is ready to interview, Megan automatically sends them a self-scheduling link based on your team’s availability.

  • Candidate picks a time that works.

  • Lever is updated with the scheduled interview details.

  • Your team doesn’t have to chase / follow-up emails back and forth.

Background Check Candidate

For stages requiring a background check, Megan can automatically:

  • Trigger your connected background check flow when candidates hit that stage.

  • Collect needed information or authorization (where applicable).

  • Update status back into Lever / Mega so your team knows when it’s clear to move forward.

AI Screening & Decision Support

Screen Candidate

When candidates enter a “Screen with Megan” stage, Megan reviews:

  • Resume and application

  • Relevant activity and feedback

  • Ideal Candidate Guidelines and AI Business Preferences

She then generates a structured evaluation so recruiters can quickly tell whether someone is a good fit, without a manual resume skim.

Score Candidate

Using your configured scoring model, Megan can assign:

  • An overall score (e.g., 1–5 or 👍 / 👎)

  • Supporting notes on skills, experience, and gaps

This score is logged back to the candidate in Lever so your team can sort and prioritize work directly in the ATS.

Auto Advance from Screen

If a candidate’s score and requirements meet your thresholds, Megan can automatically:

  • Advance them to the next configured stage (e.g., “Phone Screen” or “Hiring Manager Review”)

  • Optionally trigger self-scheduling or other next-step automations

Auto Disqualify from Screen

If Megan finds blockers based on your rules; like location, compensation, legal requirements, or hard skill gaps; she can automatically disqualify the candidate in Lever.

Embedded AI Guidance & Guardrails

AI Guidance

Within Applied (New Applicant) stages, Megan can provide in-context guidance to recruiters and hiring managers, such as:

  • Why a candidate was scored a certain way

  • What questions to ask next

  • Key risks or missing information

This guidance is tied directly to the workflow step so the team sees it where they’re already working.

AI Business Preferences

Customize how Megan runs decisions through your business rules, including:

  • What your organization does in simple, candidate-friendly language.

  • What it feels like to work at your company day to day.

  • Core principles or beliefs that guide how your team operates and makes decisions.

  • Company mission or purpose so Megan can reflect why your company exists, not just what it does.

These preferences act as guardrails so screening, scheduling, and disqualification decisions match how your company actually hires.

Tone / Communication

For any stage that sends candidate-facing messages (e.g., screening follow-ups, scheduling links, rejections), Megan uses your configured tone of voice and communication rules:

  • Branded, consistent language

  • Clear expectations and timelines

  • Adaptable tone (professional, casual, dramatic, etc.) based on your guidance

Communication With Candidates & the Team

Team Communication

Megan can keep your team in the loop automatically as candidates move through Lever stages by:

  • Posting brief summaries of AI screens

  • Highlighting top candidates for a job

  • Flagging when a candidate is stuck or blocked

These updates can live in Mega, Slack, and/or notes linked back to Lever so everyone stays aligned. You can select topics you do not want Megan to ever discuss with team members.

  • Religion

  • Politics

  • Gender

  • Race

  • Sexuality

Candidate Communication

When certain triggers in Lever workflows fire (e.g., pass screen, fail screen, ready to schedule), Megan can:

  • Send individualized emails to candidates

  • Share next steps, links, and timelines

  • Maintain a consistent experience across large volumes of applicants

Ideal Candidate Guidelines

Behind all of this, each workflow can be anchored in your Ideal Candidate Guidelines for that role: experience, skills, location, and other must-have or nice-to-have attributes.

Megan uses these guidelines to:

  • Power AI screening and scoring

  • Explain recommendations through AI Guidance

  • Decide when to auto-advance vs. auto-disqualify
