Apply faster: Lever
How to apply to Lever jobs faster
To apply to Lever jobs faster, let software handle the fields that never change and keep your attention on the custom questions. Hirabo opens the Lever application and uploads your resume. It fills your name, contact details, location and links, then lists the rest. You review it and press Submit.
Filled for you
What it fills on a Lever application
Lever's standard form has a short block of personal details, a links block, and the company's own questions. Hirabo fills what it has a real answer for.
- Resume/CV: the PDF or Word file you uploaded, or a PDF of your tailored resume
- Full name, email and phone, from your resume
- Current location, picking the right town: “Austin, TX” means Austin, Texas, not Austin, Minnesota
- Current company, from your profile
- LinkedIn, GitHub and Twitter, from the links in your resume
- Yes or no questions such as work authorization, from your profile
- Pick-several questions, but only from your own answer
Yours to answer
What it leaves for you
Lever forms often end with a US Equal Employment Opportunity section marked as voluntary. Gender, race, veteran and disability questions stay blank unless you gave the exact option yourself.
The “Additional information” box is treated like any written question. Hirabo can draft a few sentences from facts in your resume, marked for you to review. Any question it can't match to your profile is listed for you, with the options the form offers.
Where it stops
The CAPTCHA on many Lever boards
Many Lever boards ask for a CAPTCHA when you send the form. Hirabo never tries to solve or skip one, so on these boards it stops and hands the application to you.
Nothing is wasted. Every field is filled and listed with its value next to a screenshot. Press “Apply myself”, paste the answers into the real form, and send it. A sign-in page or a bot check stops it the same way.
Practical tips
How to apply to Lever jobs faster: tips that hold up
Advice for any Lever application, with or without an AI helper.
Write your location as “City, ST”
Location boxes with suggestions match on the city first, then the state. A clear city and state picks the right town.
Use the links block
For engineering and design roles, a GitHub or portfolio link gives the reviewer something concrete to open.
Keep the free-text box short and specific
Lever's box invites a cover letter. A few sentences about this role beat a generic letter pasted in.
Answer the yes or no questions once
Work authorization, sponsorship and relocation repeat on almost every form. Set them in your profile and check them each time.
Keep a record of what you sent
Hirabo keeps a screenshot of each filled form with its job, so you can see later exactly what each form said.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where is the application form on a Lever job posting?
Press the Apply button on the posting and the form opens on its own page. With Hirabo you can paste the posting link and it opens the form for you.
Why won't it submit some Lever applications?
Many Lever boards ask for a CAPTCHA when the form is sent, and Hirabo never gets past a CAPTCHA. It fills the form and shows you every answer, then you paste them into the real form and send it yourself.
Does it fill Lever's EEO questions?
Only with the exact option you gave in your profile. Otherwise gender, race, veteran and disability questions are left blank for you.
Can I upload my own resume file?
Yes. A PDF or Word file you upload is sent as it is. If you tailored your resume for this job, a PDF of the tailored version is sent instead, so the file matches.
