Loved how easy the implementation was and how easy it was to onboard our business using the new system. We had gone from manual to automation in weeks! I come from corporate businesses and large HR/Rec systems and this is super easy to use, flexible and comes with AI to support with attracting the right candidates.
The cost is quite high but it is well worth it. It would be good to get more super user admin access and control but it is not major as the account management and support team are superb.
We have an account manager called Abbi who is super helpful and the support team are always on standby. We do not have any challenges right now which need solving. We are fully up and running.
I like its minimalism, it has everything I need and only things I need. It's very easy to understand and requires zero training to be proficient.
I's say search and filtering is the least convenient part of Workable. There is a such feature, but it's not very organic and exists somewhere on the side. For me, it's more convenient to rely on direct links shared to me and open exch candidate in a separate browser tab rather than go to the 'candidates' section and try to filter there
As an interviewer, constantly involved in the hiring process, I value that Workable keeps all relevant information and chats on one page, so I can be sure nothing is missing and I can read it in few minutes
Extremely Easy to Post a job, Approve Applicants, Advance Applicants, Disqualify Applicants and Send Bulk emails. Bottom Line this is a very good program. I would do a commercial for them.
no, I am 100% satisfied with the product.
makes it easy to manage the end-2-end recruitment process with limited staff
It's super easy to just post a job ad and workable does the rest. I like how easy it is to use.
Sometimes it's hard for me to find my job ads in the interface. Not a big deal but I always have to click around searching. The applicants section is great though.
We are finding exactly the applicants we need at an affordable price without hardly any effort.
Workable allows for really efficient review of resumes with all the features a hiring manager might want - a quick yes/no, a way to provide comments, a way to tag colleagues, different stages and categories for applicants. As someone that's not in HR, I've always found it super easy to use and a real value add for the hiring process.
The search feature is a bit lacking - I use tags for applicants in my comments, but I'm not able to search for those particular tags within a large pool of candidates. That would be helpful!
For me, the biggest benefit of Workable is just keeping everything organized and in one place. Even communication with candidates is contained within the platform. I am not part of the recruitment process, so I don't know if this is unique to Workable, but I know we've had a lot of success with being able to share the job across many job boards at once.
Ease of use; easy to train company employees; excellent integrated tools to manage applicant communications (from bulk rejection emailing, to adding applicants, to video screen technology, etc.); very good reporting tools built in; built-in apis with top external job boards - simple to activate; very good linked referral site for employees to use for referring candidates to requisitions; very good customer service and support from the company; and finally, very fairly priced.
More detailed/customizable reporting capabilities missing; req. timing while built into the system, is not easily obtained for a req. through the reporting system; no "Mailchimp" like capabilities in the system to reach out to prospective candidates (it can be done but challenging); no real ability to do a conceptual search or boolean search on applicant pool in your database
Looking for a cost-effective ATS that allows us to quickly post positions, integrating with various popular job boards, incorporates technologies that allow us to better connect with and communicate with our candidate customers. And finally, a system that allows to properly disposition candidates. All that plus the ability to offer hiring managers ease of use if they wish to self-serve their talent recruiting needs. Workable has done all that and more. We have done a lot of recruiting with a very low people and $$ overhead.
Workable is extremely user friendly and the technology is easy to learn. At our company, hiring managers are heavily involved in the recruitment process. Workable allows the HR team to have extreme oversight over the hiring managers and the system makes it easy to stay organized. Workable is also competitively priced.
Workable is extremely innovative and announces new features often; however, those new features come at an additional cost.
There are a lot of features within Workable that have helped our business solve problems. The sourced feature uses technology to source candidates that have not applied to the position, but seem to be a good fit. This allows us to have a larger candidate pool without adding additional time. The templates are also extremely useful and easy to set up. Workable comes with a slew of templates and you are able to edit and create new ones according to your business needs.
