How to Integrate Lever with Testlify

Before you begin

• You need admin access to both your Testlify workspace and your Lever account.
• At least one assessment must exist in Testlify to map to a Lever job posting.

Step 1: Connect Testlify to Lever

1. In your Testlify dashboard, click your profile icon, then click Settings.

2. Click the Integration tab, then click Lever to start the authorization flow.

3. Review the requested permissions and click Accept to complete authorization.

Step 2: Enable the Lever webhook

After authorization, Testlify automatically creates a Candidate Stage Change webhook in Lever. You must enable it for the integration to work.

1. In Lever, go to Settings > Integrations and API > Webhooks.
2. Locate the Candidate Stage Change webhook.
3. Toggle it to the on (blue) position.

Step 3: Map assessments to Lever job postings

Testlify uses tags on Lever job postings to determine which assessment to send and at which stage. Apply this exact syntax as a tag on the job posting:

• Testlify:<stage-name>:<assessment-name>

Example: To send the Backend Developer assessment when a candidate reaches the On-site Interview stage, add this tag:

• Testlify:On-site Interview:Backend Developer

Rules for tags:

• The first value must always be Testlify — this identifies the tag as a Testlify instruction.
• The stage name must exactly match a valid stage in the job's interview plan in Lever (capitalization and spacing must be identical).
• The assessment name must exactly match an assessment created in your Testlify dashboard and linked to Lever.

Tip: If a candidate moves to the trigger stage but no assessment is sent, verify that the tag on the job posting exactly matches both the stage name and assessment name — including capitalization and spacing.

Step 4: Send an assessment to a candidate

1. In Lever, associate the candidate's opportunity with the relevant job posting.
2. Move the candidate to the trigger stage defined in the Testlify tag on that posting.

Testlify automatically sends the candidate an email with a link to complete the assessment.

Step 5: Review assessment results

Once the candidate completes the assessment, Testlify automatically adds a note to their Lever application with the result and a link to the full PDF report.
