Lever's AI insights too slow for your startup?
BuildForms cuts through the noise, giving you actionable candidate insights 3x faster, so you can hire top talent before competitors do.
The Problem with Generic ATS AI
Lever is a powerful ATS, but it's built for broad HR needs. Their AI often focuses on high-level screening, leaving founders with limited, slow insights for specific developer or designer roles.
You still end up sifting through resumes that look good on paper, but don't tell you what a candidate can truly build.
BuildForms: AI That Actually Evaluates
We built BuildForms as an AI-native hiring operating system. Our core focus is deep candidate evaluation from the moment they apply, not just tracking them through stages.
This means our AI goes beyond keywords, assessing project portfolios, coding samples, and structured responses to give you objective insights instantly.
Get Actionable Insights, 3x Faster
When you have 200 applications for a senior engineer, you don't have time for vague 'fit scores'. BuildForms identifies top applicants in minutes, not hours or days.
Our system highlights specific technical proficiencies, evaluates design projects, and ranks candidates based on criteria you define, so you can make informed decisions faster.
Built for Founders, Not HR Departments
Lever targets larger organizations with extensive HR teams and complex workflows. BuildForms is for founders and small teams who need speed, clarity, and control without the enterprise overhead.
It's intuitive, quick to set up, and designed to reduce your manual screening time by up to 70%, letting you focus on interviews that matter.
