Case Study: 15Five achieves a 90% interview feedback rate and fairer hiring with Lever

15Five Enables Fair Hiring Practices with 90% Interview Feedback Rate

15Five, a San Francisco–based software company that helps teams give continuous feedback, faced growing pains after hiring 100 people in eight months. Rapid growth exposed siloed workflows and inconsistent interview practices, and a three-person talent team needed an applicant tracking system to streamline processes and ensure fair, documented hiring decisions.

15Five implemented Lever for its intuitive UI and tools like feedback collection, interview documentation, and email templates. The platform enabled prompt, consistent interviewer feedback (90% adoption), faster time-to-hire, improved candidate sentiment and employer brand (88% positive Glassdoor reviews), and scalable hiring operations—managing 30 open roles, a 2,900-person pipeline and 200 active interviews with a small team.
