Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Lever integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Lever calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Lever data, across all 64 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Lever access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Lever, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Lever is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Lever.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the permissions associated with the API key or OAuth token provided during the connection process. If the connecting user has read only access to certain job postings, the AI agent will be unable to update stages or add notes to those specific records. We recommend using a dedicated system user account with the specific roles needed for your automation to ensure consistent performance. This prevents workflows from breaking if an individual recruiter leaves the company and their account is deactivated. You can audit exactly which roles are assigned to the integration account within the Lever admin settings panel at any time.
Ceven handles the operational busywork rather than making the final hiring decision. It can move candidates through stages, send reminders to interviewers, and sync data across tools, but a human should always trigger the final offer. You can build a workflow where the agent drafts the offer letter and prepares the Lever record, but the final click to send remains with the recruiter. This ensures a human touch for critical candidate moments while removing the manual data entry that slows down the process. Use the agent to manage the pipeline and let your team focus on the actual interviews.
Yes, Ceven can process bulk updates, but it does so sequentially to respect Lever API rate limits. If you ask the agent to move five hundred candidates to a new stage, it will queue those requests and process them one by one. This prevents your account from being temporarily throttled by Lever. For very large migrations, we recommend scheduling the workflow during off peak hours. You will see a progress bar in the Ceven dashboard showing how many records have been updated and if any specific candidates failed to update due to validation errors.
There is no hard limit on the number of notes Ceven can add to a profile, but we recommend using tags for categorizable data. Notes are best for qualitative interview feedback or specific conversation summaries. If you find yourself adding the same note repeatedly, it is better to use the update tags action. This keeps the candidate profile clean and makes it easier for you to run reports on candidate attributes. The agent can be configured to summarize long note histories into a single brief for the hiring manager before an interview.
Ceven respects the privacy settings and data deletion requests managed within Lever. When a candidate is deleted or anonymized in Lever, that data is no longer accessible via the API and will be removed from the agent context during the next sync. We do not store a permanent shadow database of your candidate records; we pull the necessary data in real time to execute the workflow. All data in transit is encrypted. You can further restrict what data the agent can access by limiting the scope of the API token provided during the initial setup process.
One specific quirk of the Lever API is that certain custom fields are not always writable via the standard update endpoints depending on your Lever plan tier. If you have highly customized candidate objects, some fields might be read only for the agent. We suggest testing a single record update before launching a massive automation. Additionally, Lever uses a specific pagination limit for listing candidates, so for companies with hundreds of thousands of records, the initial backfill can take significantly longer as the agent walks the cursor through every page of your database.
Ceven can trigger the scheduling process and update the stage to reflect that an interview is pending. However, the actual calendar coordination usually happens through Lever's native integrations with Google Calendar or Outlook. The agent can monitor for the calendar event creation and then move the candidate to the interview stage automatically. If you use a third party scheduling tool, Ceven can act as the bridge, taking the confirmed time from the scheduler and adding it as a note or event in the Lever candidate profile for the team to see.
Ceven uses a combination of webhooks and polling. For critical events like stage changes or new applications, we rely on webhooks that push data to the agent in real time. For general data consistency and reporting, the agent performs a background sync every fifteen minutes. You can manually trigger a refresh for a specific candidate or job posting by using the sync command in the composer. This ensures that when you ask the agent for a status update, you are seeing the most current information available in your Lever account.
