How the Lever job board integration works
Every company on Lever already has a public jobs page. It lives at an address like jobs.lever.co/yourcompany (or jobs.eu.lever.co/yourcompany for EU accounts), and it is what your careers page links to. Lever publishes the same postings through its public Postings API, which is open to read without a key. That is the whole trick: RemoteBoard reads the same public data your jobs page does.
When you paste the board address, RemoteBoard pulls every live posting, checks each one for remote eligibility and drops anything hybrid or office based. What is left becomes a RemoteBoard listing with your title, description, location eligibility and a link back to the original Lever posting. From then on the board is checked on a schedule, and changes in Lever show up on RemoteBoard within the hour.
Nothing flows the other way. RemoteBoard never writes to Lever, never sees candidates and never touches scorecards, offers or interview plans. If you disconnect the board, the listings come down and your Lever account is exactly as it was.
Why recruiters connect Lever instead of posting by hand
Most remote job boards were built around a form. You copy the job description, pick a category, pay for 30 days and repeat when the period ends. That works for one role. It breaks down for a talent team running ten openings across engineering, sales and support.
The usual failure is not the first post. It is everything after it. A role closes in Lever on Tuesday, but the listing on the board keeps running until it expires, and candidates keep applying to a job you filled. A new role opens on Thursday, and nobody posts it until the following week because the person who owns the board account is out. Each board has its own login, its own renewal date and its own invoice.
The Lever integration removes the copy step. Your board in Lever is the list of record. RemoteBoard follows it, which means:
- a role you publish in Lever is on RemoteBoard within the hour,
- a role you close disappears at the next sync,
- an edited description or title is picked up automatically,
- nobody on the team needs a RemoteBoard login just to keep listings current.
What gets synced from Lever
RemoteBoard reads the fields Lever publishes on the public board:
| Lever field | How RemoteBoard uses it |
|---|---|
| Job title | Listing title, cleaned of internal codes |
| Content (job description) | Full description on the listing page |
| Location, all locations and workplace type | Remote check (Lever's workplace type is read when set), eligible countries and UTC overlap |
| Salary range field or pay written in the description | Salary shown on the listing and used by the salary filter |
| Created date | Posted date shown to candidates |
| Apply link | Destination of the Apply button |
Location text matters more than anything else here. RemoteBoard decides whether a role is fully remote and where a candidate may live from what you write in Lever, such as "Remote, United States" or "Remote (US or Canada)". A role marked only with a city is treated as office based and skipped. If a remote role is missing from your preview, the fix is almost always clearer location text on the Lever job post.
Applications stay in your Lever pipeline
This is the part talent teams ask about first. The Apply button on a synced listing sends the candidate to your own Lever posting. They answer your application questions, upload a resume on your form and land in your pipeline at the stage you already use for inbound applicants. Your custom questions, EEO and voluntary self-identification forms, and any screening questions all work as they do today.
Because the application happens in Lever, there is no inbox to watch on RemoteBoard and no resumes to forward. If you track sources, you can see RemoteBoard traffic in your analytics as referrals from remoteboard.com, and every RemoteBoard plan shows views and apply clicks per role.
Lever's own job board integrations and where RemoteBoard fits
Lever can send postings to job boards through its integrations, and the right set depends on your plan and contract. Those general boards are useful for volume, but candidates searching for fully remote work spend their time on remote-only boards.
Remote-only boards usually charge per post. Remote OK, We Work Remotely and Remotive all start at about $299 per 30-day listing, and none of them follow your Lever jobs page automatically, so each post is another manual step and another renewal date.
RemoteBoard sits next to Lever's built-in boards rather than replacing them. Keep whatever general boards you already use, and connect RemoteBoard for the remote-only audience. If you are weighing it against the per-post boards, the We Work Remotely alternative and Remote OK alternative pages compare costs line by line.
What it costs compared with posting per role
The sync is included in every plan, so the only question is how many remote roles you keep open at once.
| Open remote roles at once | RemoteBoard plan, billed yearly | Yearly cost | Per-post boards at $299 for 12 roles a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 | Starter, $49 a month | $588 | $3,588 |
| Up to 10 | Growth, $149 a month | $1,788 | $3,588 and up |
| Up to 30 | Scale, $349 a month | $4,188 | $3,588 and up, plus renewals |
The per-post column assumes each of 12 roles runs a single 30-day period at $299. Roles that take longer than a month to fill renew at the full price, which is where per-post costs climb fastest. Monthly billing is $99, $299 and $699 if you would rather not commit for a year. Full details are on the pricing page.
If you connect a board with more remote roles than your plan covers, the sync lists roles in the order your Lever board returns them, up to your limit, and picks up the rest as soon as a slot frees up or you move to a larger plan.
Who the Lever integration is for
It fits best for US startups and scale-ups that hire remotely all year and already run recruiting in Lever:
- Heads of talent and recruiting leads who want remote reach without owning another posting workflow.
- Recruiting coordinators who are tired of copying descriptions into board forms and chasing renewals.
- Founders at 20 to 300 person companies who post a handful of remote roles a quarter and want one predictable bill.
- Agencies and RPO teams running Lever for a client, where the client's board is the source of truth.
If you hire one remote person a year, a single per-post listing may still be cheaper. If you hire remotely every month, a flat plan that follows Lever is usually far less work and far less money.
Setting it up in five minutes
- Open your Lever jobs page and copy its address. It looks like jobs.lever.co/yourcompany, or jobs.eu.lever.co/yourcompany for EU accounts.
- Paste it into the preview on post a remote job. You will see your remote roles as RemoteBoard listings before you pay.
- Create an employer account with your work email and pick a plan.
- Your roles go live within the hour. Mark up to 3 or 10 of them as featured on Growth or Scale.
If your board is already listed on RemoteBoard from public data, connecting it from an account on your company's email domain moves the existing listings under your account, so nothing is duplicated.
