Lever swaps its entire add-on rack: AI Interview Companion and Advanced Automation out, Candidate Insights and AI Screening by VONQ in

Between the archived snapshots of 19 April 2026 and 8 May 2026, Lever replaced two thirds of the paid add-on rack on lever.co/pricing and rewrote the core bundle’s pitch.

Out: AI Interview Companion — the product Employ acquired as Pillar in March 2025 and sold on this page as “AI Interview Companion, formerly Pillar” — and Advanced Automation, a SKU that has been on Lever’s published add-on list under one name or another since at least January 2021 (it began life as “Startup Toolkit”). Neither departure came with a note, a migration path or a statement of whether the capability moved into the core bundle.

In: Candidate Insights (automatic assessments and reference checks scored into the candidate profile) and AI Screening by VONQ, a third-party product resold as a Lever add-on and embedded in the customer’s career site. Onboarding survives from the previous rack.

The core card changed at the same time, and the direction is notable: two of its five bullets are now explicitly AI consumption features that Lever has chosen not to meter — “Unlimited AI interview transcripts and summaries” and “AI-powered fraud prevention signals”. Lever can bundle unlimited AI this way because its licensing meter is company headcount rather than seats or usage, so the subscription line grows with the customer independently of how much AI they consume.

Interview intelligence is still sold; it has simply moved off the pricing page. Lever’s AI features page lists “Employ Interview Intelligence (Pillar)” under “Extra Firepower, When You Need it” as a paid add-on. As with everything else on Lever’s price surface, none of the SKUs on either side of this change carries a published rate — every card routes to a “Get My Price Quote” form.
