Workable Reviews & Product Details

the User experience is awsome very simple of config and the templates works

the delay on showing the templates for sending emails

workflow of hiring plan

I like how easy it is to navigate through the app.Everything is really simple and straight forward.

I dislike some cities not having any candidate flow. I wish we could change the mile radius.

The problems I am having are getting alot of unqualified candidates.I notice they come from all countries.

The intuitive and usable nature of the product is what made this a different experience. We have been more easily able to share and adopt the platform. I like the fact that it has opened up our team to seveal other platforms to improve the overall onboarding pipeline.

Only thing is the self selected calendar invite - Would like to have this streamlined a bit further / made easier. If I were to pick one more I would say having the integrations work even more seemlessly for our particular HR platform but we are continuing to improve over time.

We are able to reduce our steps required to hire candidates. We have had positive feedback around seeing reviews and integrating with email / scheduling. The main benefit is finding great people faster.

I love the templates and I love that I can get all my hiring managers involved and we can keep track of candidates along our process.

I dislike that you can't set up templates for calendar invites, I think that is crucial.

I have been able to get all hiring managers involved and get an actual hiring process going when there wasn't one before.

How emails integrate seamlessly, makes it easy to review candidates and message them immediately.

Can be a little clunky going between roles

Easy to screen candidates, and share feedback about interviews

The contact with the candidates and comments between colleagues makes it easy and quick to get things done.

There is nothing I dislike about workable at the moment.

We are scheduling candidates' interviews and having access to CVs speedily.

Workable is versy helpful in my organization because it allows us to engage better managers outside HR Dept. in the recruitment process and keep track of it.

That I have to check for GDPR compliance and delete old CVs.

Things are running faster because the pool is significantly bigger and more qualitative, everyone has access in the process at any point, so less wasted time in emails and calls.

It is so user friendly and works well when we have many people involved in an interview.

I wish it were easier to do scheduling and reply to emails, but i think it's because I may not be using it to the full potential.

more transparency and organization during the interview process. we also love the referrals part!

Workable has numerous features which we've found to be particularly useful. To start with, it's extremely easy to monitor the flow of candidates through the process pipeline. Everything can be controlled via the pipeline, from moving candidates from one stage to the next to adding supporting documentation and evaluations. Everything is accessible to the hiring team in one convenient place. This enables the hiring team to collaborate effortlessly and keep abreast of how each candidate is progressing through the process. The ability to schedule meetings, calls, and interviews through the platform (linked to an outlook account) is a great feature. Having everything accessible in the one place prevents hiring team members from missing important events. Interview templates and other evaluation methodologies can be imported from previous processes which saves a lot of time when setting up a new campaign. In addition to this, being able to comb through past candidates from the database makes sourcing candidates extremely efficient.

One of the features that we've found to be particularly useful is hashtags. Hashtags have proven to be particularly useful to justify the rejection of a candidate or mark them as being a potentially good candidate for future hiring processes. The problem is, the options available to manage this function are extremely limited. We do work with a standardized manual that indicates which hashtag should be used to categorize candidates in order to avoid the proliferation of duplicate tags. However, it’s quite common that a hiring team member will mistype a hashtag, thus creating a hashtag that will forever appear in the autofill bar. Another associated issue is that if a recruiter chooses #futureit rather than #itfuture, there’s no way to delete the incorrect tag via a control panel. Even if all the candidates are retagged (as I’ve had to do countless times), it’s just a matter of time before a recruiter sees the autofill light up with #futureit and clicks without considering if this is the correct format. Providing users with options to manage hashtags would undoubtedly improve the usefulness of this feature.

Before we started using Workable, our hiring processes were plagued by miscommunications and inefficiency. Using multiple channels and platforms to carry out hiring duties meant that a lot of information got misplaced or wasn't shared with the relevant team members. Workable has helped us to stay organized and focused from a hiring process's commencement all the way to its culmination. The average duration of our hiring processes has halved.

I love the fact that it is easy to navigate, and easy to add new external candidates to the portal. I also love the mobile app version. Makes my job alot easier for me to look threw candidates also when im on the go.

Cant look up people by there phone numbers.

Easy to navigate.
