-- Complete talent acquisition suite that has added over 100 new partners and 
surpassed 4,000 customers in 2021

Lever, a leading Talent Acquisition Suite, has completed a $50 million Series D 
funding round with the Apax Digital Fund. The funding comes as the market for 
talent acquisition is continuing to heat up, and companies face the most 
competitive market for hiring and retaining talent to date. The investment in 
Lever will accelerate solution development in talent analytics, top-of-funnel 
talent discovery, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as support 
growth in new markets, and continued product innovation.

Serving more than 4,000 customers and adding more than 100 technology 
partnerships and integrations in 2021, Lever's continued momentum makes it 
clear that hiring and talent acquisition have never been more important to 
brands and companies. Lever is the industry's only platform that provides 
talent acquisition leaders with complete applicant tracking systems (ATS) and 
candidate relationship management (CRM) capabilities in a single native 
platform. LeverTRM bridges the critical gap between traditional ATS and CRM 
systems, including native Candidate Nurturing and full-funnel Analytics.

As part of this partnership, Apax Digital's Mia Hegazy will join Lever's board 
of directors. "The talent acquisition market is an exciting sector benefiting 
from several tailwinds and, having tracked the space for some time, Lever stood 
out for its candidate-centric approach, next-gen technology, and innovative 
culture," said Mia Hegazy, Principal, Apax Digital. "Companies must navigate 
heightened competition for talent, which is driving strong demand for 
best-in-class applicant tracking software products such as Lever's. We look 
forward to working with Nate and his team to help accelerate the growth of the 
business, building on Lever's impressive success to date."

Lever will use this funding to expand globally, invest in R&D, and build on its 
already expansive ecosystem of technology partners. Lever is particularly 
excited to continue its investment in Talent Analytics, including upcoming DEI 
Analytics capabilities that enable all Lever customers to measure their 
progress on DEI initiatives. 

"We're experiencing record-breaking growth, and we are excited to be able to 
reach even more customers," said Nate Smith, CEO of Lever. "Through this 
investment from Apax Digital, we're gaining a partner that is aligned with our 
vision of enabling every company to connect human potential to meaningful work. 
As more companies are understanding the importance of leveraging talent 
acquisition suites to seamlessly handle the complexities of hiring, we're 
continuing to expand our technology ecosystem, enable data-driven talent 
acquisition, and significantly improve diverse and inclusive hiring practices."
