Workable Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Being able to work collaboratively with the hiring managers.

Having people from all over the world apply. This can time to go through the candidates when we are looking for someone local.

Having the hiring team be able to collaborate directly in Workable has saved a lot of time, plus it is simple to do.

The ease of sending emails and managing candidates in bulk. I also appreciate the ability I have to customize listings.

The search feature and navigation can be a bit confusing.

It helps me easily create postings, manage candidates, and keep communication centrally located. The workflow with fellow employees helps to ensure we move candidates smoothly through the process.

I like the fact that it's very easy to use and straight forward

The fact that candidates in different postings don't communicate with each other, it's hard to keep track

It's easy to disqualify candidates without having to speak with them (questions while applying)

Good workflow, visualization of the process, enough integrations. Good collaboration tool.

Ads to social media are little or not customizable, statistics and tables are not customizable and are confusing, anything that isn't already provided is charged extra. Also, the social media profiles of the candidates are often wrong and integrations could be better with testing platforms. Zoom calls should not need the intervention of the person who scheduled the call. There should also be prioritization of candidates with provenance.

It's a way to share the recruitment process with colleagues and recruit agencies.

Workable is sweet from your point of view of having the ability to maneuver candidates by means of a approach, from first screening by means of mobile phone display screen to onsite interviews, and many others. Reward would be the capacity to e mail talk to them immediately in the merchandise, also to be capable to converse with colleagues about candidates and possess all of that captured and simply reviewed.

The merchandise is missing some type of prospect position program, a method to match candidates inside of a selected section or phase in opposition to each and every other.

It really is wildly effortless to collaborate on candidates and speedily shift by way of the choosing approach.

I really like the privacy settings, the email notifications, the fact that people cannot see each other's verdicts and that it all happens seamlessly as far as the candidate is concerned.

I am not a big fan of the fact that notifications cannot be personalized.

Workable has helped us make all our recruitment centralized and all conversations happen there which makes the whole hiring process more transparent.

The program is incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. I prefer the project listing and authorization procedure that enables me personally to create and edit my employment listing. I can ask other people in my corporation to collaborate on selection through applicants and I also now have a very apparent view of the development that we are making upon completing a job.

I have already been utilizing the system from the last few months and I haven't discovered something that I dislike.

We were using e-mail to track the actual development and provide suggestions upon applicants. This has assist speed up our hiring process. It's much easier to comply with

The platform automatically excludes candidates who do not pass certain tests, but still allows you to see them and engage if desired.

The text extractor is not the most accurate.

I don’t have to look at LinkedIn or a bunch of resumes in a pile. It allows me to quickly pick a shortlist of candidates and fire of templates emails.

The ease of creating new jobs & customization available, the programs that you're able to link to.

Nothing comes to mind, we've had only good experiences.

Workable has been the answer to our recruiting needs, we do all of our hiring in house & Workable helps us do so.

As a sales leader, if we are going to add "yet another tool" for us to use, it needs to be simple and intuitive. I can honestly say that set up was legitimately less than an hour and has provided me much needed visibility into my candidate pipeline.

I honestly can say the only downside is that I wasn't aware of the mobile app sooner. I saw tremendous efficiencies and I wasn't taking advantage of the mobile capabilities. The downside was my user error....

It has created much needed efficiencies across the team. As a rapidly growing software company, we need to be able to quickly see feedback, comments and concerns from all those involved in the hiring process. Workable has allowed me to streamline my process and and me valuable time throughout the day.

The company landing page is clean with a clear call to action

Design in the border of minimalist and cheap

We used Workable while the company I'm currently working was wecruiting new team members

It's a solid platform that integrates with Google suite and assists with applicant tracking. It makes messaging and reviewing where candidates are in the application process fairly smooth.

The integration with google events is sometimes buggy with its sync and will send multiple invites to the candidate if you just add another attendee (even within Google events itself)

A smoother application process for our candidates for our multi-stage reviews (phone, technical, in person).

Good workflow and provisioning tools to make sure the right people have the right access on different open roles. Ability to provide comments and perspective is also helpful.

No major dislikes, I enjoy using the service

Managing a pipeline of potential candidates, getting back to people in a more timely fashion, prioritizing outreach and interviews for top candidates

That our entire team can make and share notes.

Not a thing that I can think of. So far so good.

Systemizing the interview process.

It's easy for managers who are recruiting without HR support to organise candidates funnel

happy overall, nothing to raise as a low point here.

Helping managers recruit with limited to no HR support

Easy to use, very intuitive software with the most common ATS features needed to be productive.

Connecting outlook email is complex, the integrations with jobs boards are not very robust. Seems like you are paying full price for less than what you could get by going directly to the source.

Helped increase applicants for our posted jobs. Keeps us organized and speeds up the hiring lifecycle. We hire more qualified applicants much faster.

I really like workable. It's user friendly and intuitive. It's also at a reasonable price point. I like that all members of my team can use it

I don't like that someone can apply several times and that there a multiple profiles. I don't like that you've hidden the job codes when looking at the jobs on workable. I don't like that you can no longer download profiles from LinkedIn....I'm assuming that LinkedIn changed something on their end to prevent that.

It's a good product. It's helping with our recruitiment

As a tech recruiter, I must say it is one of the best ATS tools to track the candidates' status. We need to post our job requirements on it, which will automatically get posted in other job portals like Indeed, Naukri, LinkedIn etc. I found it easy to use, and anyone can learn this tool in just a few hours.

One of the disadvantages of workable is that candidates' search criteria are minimal; the other disadvantage is workable's usage ends once an offer letter is sent to a candidate. However, it does provide e-signature capabilities but doesn't have other functions like Candidates' background verifications, scheduling inductions process etc.

Workable is one of the ATS (Applicant Tracking Sytem) tools, which mainly helps HR/ Recruiters to manage their end-to-end hiring process. As a Recruiter, i can track my candidates' progress in each stage of the interview process as well as all the interview feedback from my interviewers. I can easily schedules interviews for my candidates in just few clicks. It also helps me in enhancing my candidates' engagement process.

Templates for bulk messaging, comments (for colleagues to collaborate for a specific candidate's journey through our funnel), and visibility across

Have to rely on my memory to know which candidates have been "Disqualified" vs. "Disqualified AND have been informed" etc.

HRIS to easily make progress to hire the RIGHT candidate

Workable has many key features that a smaller team or startup would appreciate: drag and drop resumes to create a new profile, easy CRM to keep in touch with past candidates, email and scheduling service, and more.

Workable misses some features that more expensive systems give you: automated emails to interviewers to remind them to submit feedback, etc.

Workable has helped us hire 4 great candidates, and give many more candidates a good experience while interviewing with our company.

Clear route from creating the posts to hiring the employee

Reporting features seem limited and difficult to drill down the recruiter looking after role

recruitment tracking, able to pull more stats in one view

Simple, easy candidate experience in applying. Integration with HRIS, video interviews, testing. Workable seems to be constantly improving and adding features. Workable also listens to us as customers for new features and desires for product improvement. Several things we have requested have come to fruition over the last few years. Workable seems to be constantly reviewing the market and competitors to see what features are most useful and needed from customers. Our account managers have always been responsive to us and open, and willing to share feedback with the product team and set up collaborations. The self-schedule feature for interviews and phone screens is a HUGE time saver for our hiring managers and our recruiters. Many applicant tracking systems don't have that feature integrated directly into the system like Workable does. We have considered switching applicant tracking systems in the past but the self-schedule feature is a big deal for us and has contributed to us staying with Workable for the past 5 years. We have grown with Workable over the years and are excited for the features to come.

Workable lacks OFCCP compliance in resume searches, could have more robust report features. Custom reports are only available by add-on and take several days to a week or more to create. The canned reports are useful but don't cover all aspects of reporting that we require monthly, quarterly, or annually. Workable could be more robust in its account types and ability to customize certain permissions. Some of the job features aren't applicable to us and can't be manipulated to our use. We have let our account managers know about these features and some issues have been solved in the past but others still remain to date. We do believe that Workable has an interest to improve these things and anticipate integrations over the next few quarters.

Candidate experience is seamless and simple. Working on other integration features, have recently integrated candidate texting. Have tested Workable integrations with testing features. Benefits of collaborative and open staff/account managers.

easy to use. like that roles are displayed and easy to access. the lock down of access level is good.

After closing role candidates emails do not reply. be good to minimise roles without leaving

Solving the easy of the internal recruitment function

When choosing what ATS to use we tried over 6 different high end ATS. At the end it was between Lever and Workable. We went with workable since it better fit where we are as a company - experiencing high growth, volume recruitment and many new managers. We wanted a tool that accommodated our needs: - Easy to use tool - Great referral platform - Easy to read and extract data - Best customer support / CSM. Furthermore, they are a constantly evolving tool with a very user centric focus. The product team listens and takes input from their customers and they are continuously releasing new features.

- They can definitely improve the CV screening feature. When having 100+ applicants you want a tool where you with as few clicks as possible can get an overview of the CV and application. This is not the case. You have to scroll down to see the CV, the application letter is in a "text format" and not able to upload in the same way as the CV. The screening questions are at the bottom of the page as well. - They don't have the option to schedule email send outs. - Extra admin work when scheduling a Teams meeting since they don't have a integration to Microsoft Teams. From what I know at least 2 of the three points are under development to be improved and implemented!

Easy to get the managers up an running with the tool. Referrals(which are a big source of candidates for us) have increased massively. Increase of applicants since adverts are published on several local sites.

stages of the interview process. easy to use but not the best ats system

ux/ui are not very user friendly. can't add stages yourself (must be done on the backend by account manager) reporting is a bit of a mess .

we are able to get a sense of how many candidates are moving through each stage, diverse backgrounds, and which job boards are providing to be the most valuable as far as providing quality candidates

As a HR personnel who looks after the full recruitment cycle for a small company, Workable helps me save tremendously and in a very professional manner: - Sync with my company email (we use Google suite - so it's really convenient); I'm not sure for the case of private company email domains, but I do see Workable updating its integration list from time to time - Pushing job postings and then collating all applications/ emails from 10 free websites in one place, by posting. Before I had this, we manually tracked candidates pipeline by creating shared Excel files, and constantly update status after replying candidates' emails. You can imagine the pain if you have 10 open positions at different stages, with different assessment process, and that you need to coordinate with different managers - you can handle a few but definitely it won't be scalable. Thanks to Workable, I am able to manage both recruitment and other HR functions. - Candidate management - by matching email addresses, the platform is also able to let me know if certain candidates have applied in the past, and with a click I can the applicant's past application, including communication trail. In such cases, it gave me a side story about the candidate that doesn't appear on resume - Super helpful! - Resume parsing - there's no guarantee it's 100% accurate, but it's pretty good so far. My previous manual Excel file system requires tons of manual data entry from candidates' resume, which feels like a waste of time many times - They also have candidate suggestion function, where they suggest profiles that they have based on your posting. Our package has limited slots yearly so I use it when it's hard to find candidates for some niche position. I wouldn't say it's the best platform to look for such candidates - as this is definitely not Workable's strength, but it does come handy.

Of course there are glitches here and there, but I would say they are performance issues and won't say there's anything I dislike about it as a platform. One thing that irks me though: They rolled out a video interview function (which I thought was a great idea) a few months back and they offered a 3-month trial for current customers (hooray). However, when I tried it out, there was a bug and the customer support agent came in saying they're working on a resolution. More than 3 months past and I have not heard back from them since. Still not sure if it's working now, and without saying I never got to try the video interview during I do think they need to manage their support function better to tie up loose ends and not leave customers hanging.

- Saving time on recruitment - Managing recruitment more systematically, with more info organized and in the same space

Their search capability works well. Not only an AI to match potential candidates, but allows for search on sites like LinkedIn to source.

Their lack of an internal application feature/workflow is disappointing. Many frustrations around not being able to customize various aspects of the system.

Low scale hiring is fine with Workable and it has allowed us (those on hiring teams, etc.) to collaborate. I've also found their Hiring Plan feature to solve a gap for us.

Allows easy review of resumes and has good work flows for intaking new resumes and assigning to right teams to perform next steps.

Application is not as intuitive as it could be. It works well but sometimes it is hard to track when working with multiple positions at the same time.

Used to source, interview, and hire new candidates.

I love workable for its easy to use, and track system. It is incredibly user friendly, and at a price that wont break your companies bank. It integrates seamlessly into multiple different applications to maintain your hiring process in one place. Its a place where hiring managers, CFO's and recruiters to maintain contact on ongoing projects and give feedback/view candidates without having lengthy meetings or calls! The thing I like most about workable: they release new updates consistently based on client feedback through email!

Sometimes, I dont love their updates. It is time consuming getting set up (like any other software) and doesnt integrate with everything our company uses for its hiring process just yet.

Workable has created an easy way to post, manage, and track jobs & candidates in one easy to use place. Sometimes the updates arent great. For example, they just updated their workabel powered career pages, and I am not a huge fan of the layout. It can be annoying as well that you cant have interview processes per job, some jobs we post require additional steps than others so some of the useful fetaures sometimes add more work. The benefit is, I can tell workable this and they will try and figure out a solution to continue making their ATS a user friendly system.

Workable is an amazing crm tool for a recruiter. Unlike other crm tools which can be used to store leads for sales and recruiting, workable is purposefully created for recruitment process. We can post and publish a job. It says it will post to 20+ job boards and sources the resumes. The resumes received through workable can be handled in workable’s dashboard through one can send emails, track and update the status of the candidates in the recruiting process. It has a chrome extension were we can search using keywords such as name and title or you can paste the LinkedIn link to get email and phone number along with the presence of social media profiles. You can avail 5 free credits every day for a free user, to get more credits we need to upgrade the plan.

While using chrome extension to find contact details such as email and phone number, whether you get the contact info or not the credits will be deducted and these daily 5 free credits will not get carry over to other day so we have to use it at least by the end of the day. The contact info obtained sometimes contains dead phone numbers.

It is very useful to find contact info while lead generation. It gives multiple phone numbers and email addresses as well as links to various social media profiles which helps to get actionable insights about the candidate. Found phone numbers for few prospects in some situations.
