Lever fills your pipeline. Confirm makes sure it doesn't leak.
Lever is built to help teams find and hire great talent with a CRM-style recruiting approach. But once someone is hired, the job isn't done. Confirm picks up where Lever leaves off — with performance reviews, flight risk prediction, ONA, and AI manager coaching that turns hires into high-performers.
The post-hire performance gap in Lever teams
Companies invest in Lever to build a systematic, relationship-driven recruiting process. They attract great candidates, build pipelines, and make thoughtful hires. Then those hires start — and the systematic approach often ends. Performance management reverts to inconsistent manager feedback and infrequent reviews.
Systematic hiring, unsystematic development
Lever brings structure to finding and selecting talent. But post-hire, most teams still rely on gut-feel performance management — annual reviews, inconsistent 1:1s, and no behavioral data. The rigor that attracted great candidates disappears after they join.
Recruiting investment evaporates with early attrition
If new hires leave within 12-24 months, your Lever pipeline investment is lost. Early attrition is almost always detectable through behavioral signals 2-3 months before it happens. Without the right data layer, those signals go unseen.
CRM for recruiting, nothing for retention
Lever tracks candidate relationships through the hiring process. Once the candidate becomes an employee, that tracking stops. Confirm picks it up — monitoring how they're integrating, performing, and whether they're at risk of leaving.
What Confirm adds to your Lever stack
Lever optimizes pre-hire. Confirm optimizes post-hire. Together, they cover the full talent lifecycle and protect your recruiting investment.
The post-hire intelligence layer Lever doesn't have
Lever tracks candidates until they're hired. Confirm tracks performance from their first day forward. Behavioral signals, ONA, flight risk prediction, and AI manager coaching — the tools that turn hires into retained, high-performing contributors.
- Catch flight risk 3 months before a resignation
- Track how new hires integrate into team networks
- Coach managers with person-specific data on each hire
- Run review cycles that actually get completed (98% typical)
ONA: see who's integrating vs. isolated
Organizational Network Analysis shows you how new hires connect into your team — who they're turning to, who's helping them ramp, and early signs of isolation that predict early attrition. Lever can't show you this. Confirm can.
Integrates with Lever
Confirm connects to Lever and your HRIS to sync employee data automatically. New hires are visible in Confirm from day one — no manual setup needed.
ROI on every hire you make through Lever
Every hire made through Lever represents recruiting time, interview cycles, and onboarding cost. Confirm protects that investment by identifying and preventing flight risk before it becomes an expensive backfill.

Common questions
Can I use Confirm with Lever?
Yes. Confirm integrates with Lever and your HRIS to sync employee data automatically. New hires appear in Confirm from day one. Keep Lever for recruiting and use Confirm for post-hire performance intelligence.
Does Confirm replace Lever?
No. Lever handles CRM-driven recruiting and structured hiring. Confirm handles post-hire performance, development, and retention. Different stages of the talent lifecycle. Most companies need both.
Lever helps us build a talent pipeline. How does Confirm protect that investment?
Lever builds the pipeline. Confirm protects it. Once someone is hired, Confirm tracks behavioral signals, predicts flight risk, and coaches managers on how to develop and retain each person. Replacing a Lever-sourced hire costs the same whether you have Confirm or not — Confirm prevents the replacement.
Does Lever have post-hire performance management?
No. Lever focuses on CRM-driven recruiting and pipeline management. Post-hire performance is outside its design. Confirm is purpose-built for exactly this: everything that happens after a hire is made.
Your pipeline is only as strong as your retention.
Lever finds and hires great people. Confirm makes sure they stay — with flight risk prediction, performance intelligence, and manager coaching that protects every hire you make.
