Case Study: BPM Accounting and Consulting Firm saves $900,000 in agency fees and cuts first‑year turnover 80% with Lever

BPM Accounting and Consulting Firm - Customer Case Study

BPM, a top-50 U.S. accounting and consulting firm based in California, struggled with an unusable ATS that left recruiters doing 90% of work outside the system. The clunky tool forced manual scheduling and emailing, reduced strategic recruiting, and drove heavy reliance on agencies—costing roughly $150–200K per quarter.

By switching to Lever, BPM gave recruiters and hiring managers an intuitive, structured workflow and tools like Lever Nurture, a Chrome extension, and LinkedIn integration to proactively source and nurture candidates. The firm now completes 100% of hiring activity in the system, has saved $900,000 in agency fees, sources 40% of hires internally, doubled interviewer feedback completion, and achieved an 80% reduction in first‑year employee turnover.
