Case Study: DREAM Charter Schools strengthens hiring integrity with Lever

DREAM Charter Schools strengthens hiring integrity across 7 schools with Lever

DREAM Charter Schools, a network of seven schools in New York City, faced the challenge of scaling its recruitment while combating rising candidate fraud, including AI-generated resumes and fake application materials. They needed to efficiently manage high application volumes to find mission-aligned hires capable of "developing the whole child." To address this, they partnered with Lever for its recruiting software.

Lever implemented a multi-layered hiring process for DREAM, incorporating performance tasks that candidates had to complete and then explain live, making fraud extremely difficult. This solution significantly reduced fraudulent applicants getting past early stages, improved the identification of genuine candidates, and created a more efficient process. The result was the building of stronger, more capable teams aligned with DREAM's mission.
