Case Study: DiDi achieves faster city expansion and optimized hiring across 60+ recruiters with Lever

DiDi Optimized Workflows Across 60+ Recruiters Enabling Company to Open in Two Cities at a Faster Rate

DiDi, a global ride‑sharing and food‑delivery platform, needed clearer recruiting visibility and consistency across functions and countries. The team lacked reliable metrics—like average screens per recruiter, interview volume, and first‑interview‑to‑hire conversion—and relied on shared spreadsheets, which made it hard to refine hiring by country or function.

Leví Barbosa audited and cleaned candidate data, rolled out standardized workflows, and scaled Lever from Mexico across LATAM and globally. The changes improved data integrity and recruiter productivity (allowing optimal interview scheduling), increased screens and hires, enabled 60+ recruiters to work more efficiently, and helped DiDi open in more cities faster while migrating two more countries onto Lever and exceeding hiring targets.
