Case Study: Kernel achieves 35% faster time-to-hire and 200% hiring growth with Lever

Kernel Reduces Time to Hire by 35% and Scales Hires by 200%

Kernel is a Los Angeles–based biotechnology firm building a non‑invasive mind/body/machine interface to improve human cognition. To recruit rare, highly specialized neuroscientists, physicists and engineers at speed, Kernel needed a scalable, intuitive ATS after Google Hire was discontinued—its previous system couldn’t manage referrals, interviews and dispersed candidate data efficiently.

Kernel implemented Lever (Lever Hire, Lever Nurture and Lever’s Talent Cloud) with LinkedIn integration to unify candidate data, streamline workflows and make the platform easy for hiring managers to use. The result: a 35% reduction in time to hire, the ability to scale hiring by 200% over two years, improved candidate experience and a single view of talent lifecycle data.
