Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Legacy Candidates endpoints maintained for backward compatibility. New integrations should use Opportunities; Candidates remain available for historical record retrieval.
Contacts represent unique people across multiple opportunities, allowing Lever to deduplicate candidates who apply to multiple roles.
Manage job postings programmatically and power custom public job sites. The Postings API has a public read-only mode that does not require authentication for displaying job list...
Submit candidate applications against postings, including resumes, cover letters, and EEO survey data, and retrieve historical application records.
List the configured pipeline stages and disposition stages used to route opportunities through screening, interviews, offer, and hire.
Read archive reasons used when an opportunity is archived (rejected, hired, withdrawn) for downstream EEO and analytics reporting.
Read interview events, panels, and schedules associated with an opportunity, including interviewer assignments and time slots.
Read feedback forms and scorecards completed by interviewers and hiring managers, with templated and free-form fields.
Manage feedback form templates, including question definitions and scoring rubrics applied across postings and stages.
Add and retrieve free-form notes attached to opportunities for recruiter and hiring manager collaboration.
Read offer records associated with opportunities, including offer letters, approval status, and compensation breakdowns.
Manage requisitions backing each posting — headcount, compensation bands, and approval state — typically synced from an HRIS.
List and apply tags to opportunities for cohorting, sourcing, and reporting workflows.
Read source attribution (job board, referral, sourced) for opportunities to drive sourcing analytics.
Upload and download files (resumes, cover letters, portfolio attachments) associated with opportunities; supports docx, doc, pdf, txt, jpg, png.

Read tenant-scoped audit events for security monitoring and SOC reporting.
Read anonymous EEO survey data for compliance reporting; PII-isolated from the standard candidate endpoints.
