Case Study: Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation achieves 50% growth in 3 months and standardized hiring with Lever

Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation - Customer Case Study

Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation (SGFF) is a mission-driven nonprofit focused on building a more equal and resilient world. As the organization grew, inconsistent hiring practices across managers made it hard to scale quickly, collaborate cross-departmentally, and reliably find candidates aligned with their values.

SGFF adopted Lever to centralize candidate information and communications, standardize interviewing and outreach, and speed screening with Gmail integration. Within three months they grew headcount by 50% and launched Opt‑In.org; since then they’ve more than tripled their employee base, achieved over 50% people-of-color representation, and now have 100% of hiring managers partnering with recruiters through Lever.
