Case Study: Coffee Meets Bagel achieves streamlined, collaborative hiring and 3x team growth with Lever

Coffee Meets Bagel - Customer Case Study

Coffee Meets Bagel, an online dating app for people seeking real relationships, faced recruiting bottlenecks as it scaled: its highly cross-functional process (the CEO interviews every candidate) made it hard to keep hiring collaborative and timely, risking the loss of strong candidates while the team grew.

By adopting Lever’s email sync, notes, tagging and simple UI, Coffee Meets Bagel centralized candidate communications, enabled engineers to review coding challenges and leave feedback in-platform, and onboarded new interviewers without formal training. The result was a transparent, faster hiring workflow that supported 3x team growth in two years and sustained the company’s continued expansion.
