Lever ATS Pipeline & Lexical Matching
How Lever indexes inbound candidate documents, generates automatic skill tags, and enables fast Boolean search across recruiter workflows.
1. Inverted Indexing & Automated Tag Generation
Lever’s talent acquisition suite emphasizes rapid recruiter searchability. During document ingestion, Lever extracts raw lexical tokens and constructs an inverted index against the candidate database.

| Candidate Text Match: "Led migration to Kubernetes on AWS" |
| |
| Inferred Candidate Tags: |
| #Kubernetes #AWS #Cloud Infrastructure #Migrations |
| |
| Recruiter Boolean Query: |
| (Kubernetes OR Docker) AND (AWS OR GCP) AND "Engineering Lead" |

| Match Status: INSTANT RECRUITER SURFACE |

2. Lexical Integrity & Plain Text Formatting
Because Lever relies heavily on token matching, complex non-standard characters, font Ligatures, and unmapped icon font glyphs can disrupt word boundary detection. Using standardized UTF-8 text streams guarantees that every term is indexed correctly.
