Field mapping between Lever and Namely
Streamline the recruiting to HR process by allowing candidate information to flow seamlessly into Namely once a candidate is hired in Lever. The candidate data from Lever will dynamically populate a new Namely Onboarding or HRIS record, minimizing the time spent on manual data entry.
Field mapping
Lever's native integration with Namely has been enhanced to pass more fields than ever before, including custom Namely profile fields. The following chart lists a summary of the fields that are supported with the standard Namely integration (detailed field mapping charts can be found further on in the article).
In order to support all data mapping options, the Namely integration must be set up by an Administrator on the Namely account. Updates to these data mappings and custom fields are supported, but will require additional configuration. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Lever Support for more details via the Lever Support request form.
Default mapping
Lever candidate fields
The following candidate details will be transferred over by default (fields denoted with an asterisk are required to create a new record in Namely):
Lever offer fields
If the following fields exist in the signed offer form when the candidate is hired, they will be included.
Lever requisition fields
If the following fields exist on the associated requisition for the signed offer, they will be included.
Lever profile form fields
If the following fields exist in a profile form titled "Namely Form", they will be included.

Setting up the offer and requisition fields
Some of the information on the offer form and requisition are transferred by default, however if you would like to customize additional fields please reach out to Lever Support via the Lever Support request form for assistance with custom mappings.
Setting up profile form fields
This optional step needs to be completed by a Super Admin, Admin, or user assigned to a role provisioned with the 'Manage form settings' permission.
-
Navigate to Settings > Forms
-
Add a new form titled “Namely Form”
-
Include all the fields that you would like to send to Namely
-
Add the form to the desired candidate profile and fill out the form
For more details on setting up a profile form and adding it to the candidate profiles refer to our help article on configuring and using forms.
For example, if you want to pass 'first_name', 'last_name' and 'preferred_name' fields you would do so by following the above steps and as shown in the screenshot below:
