# Lever jobs: how to read openings on a Lever page > Lever jobs are the openings an employer lists on its own Lever page, at an address that starts with jobs.lever.co. Open the company's page, read the team, location and work arrangement on each posting, and apply on the posting itself. Zorlya reads Lever boards, and this post says how.

Lever jobs are openings that an employer lists on its own page run by the hiring software Lever. The address starts with jobs.lever.co, followed by the company's name and then a long identifier for the posting. You find one through the company's Careers link or by searching for the employer, and you apply on the same posting using its Apply button. Lever's own help page says that a company's Careers link can send candidates to a [Lever-hosted jobs page](https://help.lever.co/s/article/Lever-Career-Site-Options). Lever is an applicant tracking system, or ATS: the software an employer uses to post openings and collect applications. This post shows how to recognise a Lever page, how to search it, what each posting field means, and how Zorlya reads Lever. ## How do I recognise a Lever page? Check the address. A Lever list of openings looks like jobs.lever.co/company-name. A single posting adds a long identifier after the name, a string of letters and numbers separated by hyphens. The Apply button for that posting adds "/apply" to the same address. In the recorded sample our reader was tested against, a posting address looked like jobs.lever.co/palantir/ followed by that identifier, and its apply address ended in /apply. Lever's developer documentation also lists an EU instance, whose job sites start with jobs.eu.lever.co, so an employer hosted there will not use the jobs.lever.co address. As with any ATS, an employer can also place the list inside its own website, so the address bar may show the company's domain. Follow the Apply link to see where it leads. A "Powered by Lever" note on a career page means that the company uses Lever to manage its postings and applications, according to [Lever's job seeker page](https://www.lever.co/job-seeker-support). ## How do I find Lever jobs at one company? Lever pages are one per employer, so you search a company at a time. Lever's developer documentation says each company has one site, named usually after the company with no spaces, so the address holds that short name. 1. Go to the company's Careers page and follow the link to its openings, or open jobs.lever.co/company-name if you know the name it uses. 2. Look for the filters at the top of the list. Lever pages typically group openings by team, location and work type, and the employer decides what to show. 3. Open each fitting posting and read the full text. 4. Save the link and the text of any posting you may apply to. A company name in the address is not always the brand name. It is the short name the employer picked when it set up the page. If jobs.lever.co/brand returns nothing, try the company's legal name or an older name. ## What does a Lever posting contain? Lever publishes postings as structured data on a public feed, and its [Postings API documentation](https://github.com/lever/postings-api/blob/master/README.md) says every posting in the published state is publicly viewable. The page you read is built from the same fields. In the sample our reader handles, a posting carried: - a **title** - a **team**, a **location** and a **commitment**, which is the employment type such as full-time - a **work arrangement** value, such as hybrid, when the employer set one - a **country** code - a **created** time, which is when the posting was made - the **description**, split into an opening, the main body and lists, such as responsibilities or requirements - an **apply** address The documentation also lists an optional salary range, with a currency, an interval and a minimum and maximum, and an optional description of the range. The sample we read held no such field, so an employer that does not fill it in shows pay only in the text or the lists, if at all. Read the body for it ([salary on a posting](/blog/salary-on-a-posting-and-what-to-do-when-it-is-missing)). ## How should I read the team and work arrangement? Read team and location together. The team tells you who you would work with, and "Engineering" alone says little. The location may be a city, a country or "Remote". The documentation gives four values for the arrangement: unspecified, on-site, remote or hybrid. When one is present, check it against the ad. A posting can say remote in its arrangement field and then limit applicants to certain countries in the text. [Is this remote job really remote?](/blog/is-this-remote-job-really-remote) gives a checklist, and [remote jobs and your country](/blog/remote-jobs-and-your-country) covers location limits. ## How does a Lever application work? You apply from the posting. The form usually asks for your name, contact details and a resume file, and may ask for links, a cover letter and extra questions the employer added. Which fields are required differs by employer. Read the whole form first, write long answers in a separate document, then paste them in, so a closed tab or a timeout does not cost you the text. After you submit, expect a confirmation message. Keep it with a copy of the posting, because postings disappear when the role is filled ([track applications so follow-ups happen](/blog/track-applications-so-follow-ups-happen)). ## What are the quirks of a Lever page? - **The created time is not a deadline.** It shows when the posting was made. A page may stay up well past that, and Lever postings carry no closing date in the sample we read ([three dates on a job](/blog/three-dates-on-a-job-posted-deadline-and-closed)). - **Company name may be missing from the feed.** The public feed names the posting's team and location but not the employer. A tool that reads the feed has to link the short name in the address to a company by other means. - **One role, several postings.** Employers sometimes post the same job for different places. Requirements can differ. - **The page may be a copy.** A Lever posting is often copied to job boards. The Lever page is the original. ## Does Zorlya read Lever jobs? Yes. Lever is one of the systems Zorlya reads, one company at a time. For each company in its list, Zorlya makes a single request to the company's public Lever feed, which returns every open posting with its full text. Before it asks, it reads the site's robots.txt file and stops if the file says no. It also waits at least one second between requests to Lever, the pause that Lever's robots.txt asks for. The job in your feed shows Lever as its source and links to the original posting ([where the jobs come from](/blog/where-the-jobs-come-from)). Zorlya only reads companies it has on its list, so a Lever page you know of may not be covered yet. You can save it yourself with the Add a job button ([add a job from any site](/blog/add-a-job-from-any-site-and-what-stays-private)). ## Questions people ask ### Is Lever a job board? No. Lever describes itself as [hiring software, not a job board](https://www.lever.co/job-seeker-support), and each employer has its own page on it. There is no single Lever board that lists all employers together. ### Can I apply to a Lever job without an account? In the usual case you apply through a form on the posting, without making an account first. Employers can set their own requirements, so read the form. ### Why does a Lever posting not show a salary? Lever's documentation lists an optional salary range, so a posting shows one only when the employer fills it in or writes pay into the text. Many do not. ### How do I know a Lever job is still open? If the posting page still loads and the Apply button works, the role is listed as open. That is the best signal available, and it can lag behind a hire. ## What we know and what we do not Zorlya reads Lever, using the public feed for each company on its list, and it respects robots.txt. It does not read every Lever page, because it works from a list of companies. We described the fields from a recorded sample and checked the field list against Lever's Postings API documentation, so an employer's page may still show more or less. We do not know how Lever treats applications after they are submitted, since that is the employer's side. We read Lever's Postings API documentation, its career site options page and its job seeker page on 31 October 2026.
