Case Study: Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School achieves rapid scaling to 140 employees and halves time-to-hire with Lever

Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School - Customer Case Study

Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School is a Bronx-based public charter serving grades 6–12 that was rapidly adding students and needed to scale staff fast. Their recruiting was decentralized and ad hoc—no single hiring lead or applicant tracking system—so resumes and decisions were handled on paper and by memory, causing long delays and inconsistent evaluation.

By adopting Lever, the school centralized candidate communication, standardized pipelines and interview rubrics, and automated hiring workflows so teams could collaborate efficiently. As a result they cut time-to-fill in half, sped candidate responses to about five days, and scaled from 48 to 140 employees while roughly doubling the number of staff actively involved in hiring.
