Case Study: Matter doubles headcount in 4 months and eliminates agency spend with Lever

Matter Doubles Headcount in 4 Months While Eliminating Agency Spend

Matter, a San Francisco startup founded in 2017 that builds professional feedback tools, needed an applicant tracking system to reduce manual recruiting work, integrate multiple candidate platforms, and deliver analytics while keeping costs down. With recruiters paid San Francisco salaries, leadership wanted them focused on sourcing and hiring—not admin tasks.

They selected Lever for its intuitive UI, LinkedIn and Chrome integrations, and Nurture features, achieving 100% recruiter and hiring-manager adoption. As a result Matter doubled its headcount in four months, eliminated agency spend, and now sources hires entirely in-house.
