Workable Reviews & Product Details

I love how easy using workable is. It's so intuitive and it really helps you to stay focused and productive. I love the the process of creating a new job and interacting with candidates right from the system.

Sometimes adding new candidates to workable is really slow and also some CV file formats are not parsed well.

Workable helps us work together as a team. It's truly made for collaboration.

Workable was incredibly intuitive and user friendly, and was constantly updating the software to become more user friendly, and better integrated. I liked that I could make sponsored posts to Indeed and LinkedIn straight from Workable, rather than having to go to each individual job board, and each external job board post linked candidates to our job page - something that more sophisticated ATS are still lagging in. It was a great place to centralize information for multiple users, and made it easy to see the correspondence/notes that hiring managers hard about candidates (or instructions - such as 'call this person and schedule an interview). Managers found it easy to use whenever I showed them how to use it. It also tracked metrics like where candidates were sourced from, where SUCCESSFUL candidates were sourced from, time to hire, etc.

Didn't like that when you click on the title of the job, it's a bit tedious to go to the applicants, since it takes you into the backend of the job description (frequently forgot to click on the applicant number to see them, often went to the wrong place)

Workable helped us centralize applicant information (like interview notes, reference checks, test scores), and it's many templates for phone screens/references meant I had less documents floating around in folders getting lost.

Easy to use, makes managing candidates really simple and i like that you can tag colleagues and have conversations regarding candidates.

The mobile app version isn't anywhere near as strong.

Loads of time saved, not losing track of any candidates.

Workable is streamlined and very efficient to use. Not only do you have multiple pools of candidates to choose from you can share candidates between recruiters and positions. You can also move candidates stage by stage in the hiring process, anywhere from reviewed all the way though to hired. This allows an easy streamlined pipeline of use when dealing with multiple applicants. Searching through applicants is also easy as well. You are able to filter through names, headlines, and even tags. Communication can be done through the website as well keeping yet another aspect organized between you and your applicants or other recruiters using the same job board.

For email communications it would be nice to see the entire email chain from the email itself. Workable separates these unless you are on the candidate profile.

Being able to help other recruiters or managers fill positions. When you have a candidate more qualified for another position, it is easy to move them over.

The ease of use of the platform and the quick learning curve.

Seemed like it took a while to get the pricing strategy figured out.

A simple, shareable tool for managing our hiring.

Everything about workable is the best! It's a solid platform that consistently works the way we need it to. We use a lot of SaaS apps and there are always weaknesses, but we really don't have many complaints about workable!

It doesn't integrate well with LinkedIn Premium. You really need a full LinkedIn Recruiter account to tie the accounts together. The reporting also isn't exactly what we need. It would be great if it had some dynamic filtering in the reports to customize the view better.

Hiring! We're a growing business and Workable keeps our hiring pipeline for 15 active positions organized and streamlined. It takes the pain out of gathering feedback on a candidate and has increased our time to hire through the collaboration / commenting tools.

I wish they expanded their overall products and features. This ATS would be a game changer if it was more robust. Best User Interface. Streamlined. Easy. Very Sleek Look.

Really only geared towards small companies because it doesn't have a huge amount of features. There's no option to develop your own career site, it comes standard with Workable. At the time we had an issue with workable on Craiglist and couldn't post the link to Workable from Craigslist but otherwise Workable is FANTASTIC.

At the time the only recruiter at that company was using Excel and email to track his candidates. We needed a quick option and Workable was just that. Easiest.setup.ever.

I found the layout of the platform really easy to use. If was great to be able to see how many applications were at each stage of the process. I also liked being able to easily track all communications with candidates through the platform. Was also great to be able to collaborate with other members of the organisation through the comments features.

What I really would have like was a IOS mobile app. The mobile website worked fine, but I was a little harder to navigate around. This being said, I believe that an IOS version is on the way. Would have been nice to be able to upload templates to a stage of the process to standardise the process more.

We were ultimately trying to build a team, and through workable we were able to accurately track and mange the hiring process. Not only this but other parts of the organisation were also buildings there teams out at the same time and we were all able to easily use this platform.

I come from an HR/Recruiting background and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to learn the ins and outs of Workable. Within less than a week, I was already well versed with the site and most of the functions. It's easily one of the most attractive, user friendly ATSs I've ever used. Whenever I do have a question, the Workable staff are always quick to respond with a solution. There have been rare occasions when Workable hasn't had a function I was looking for, but since it's a web-based solution, the Workable team is very willing to look into ways to constantly enhance their product , based on user suggestions.

There are some suggestions I have given on functions I have needed that Workable doesn't currently have: - We have a lot of people who were hired for a role on Workable that then help with the interviewing for that same role in the future. It would be nice to be able to archive their profiles (and the profiles of other hired people) and keep the same role open for them to work off of rather than having to open a new role and move all candidates over or to input their feedback for them. - It would also be helpful to have an easier way of knowing if someone has applied to multiple roles other than looking up their name in the search bar and seeing a few entries and the small message about it on the bottom of their timeline (which is often hidden when there are emails/feedback for the person)

We were very rapidly growing in the beginning of this year (we have doubled in size over the last 8 months) and Workable has been a really easy way to organize all of the applicants, move them through the interview/hiring process, engage the hiring managers, and a great resource to store comments/resumes etc. The hiring volume that we were doing earlier this year would have been a lot more stressful/harder to manage without Workable.

Incredible Real Time Visibility. The amount of data and content available all together in one place is great.

Managing Multiple Open Positions Can Be Difficult

Gathering Better Recruits, Hiring Quality People

Able to post jobs quick and easy, the knockout questions can be formatted base don the requirements you have keyed in for the job already. you also have the opportunity to disqualify a candidate based on the answers to your knock out questions. We used Workable and another tracking system and always pulled awesome candidates from Workable over the other system. We would also have positions that would be open again and Workable saved all job positions as archived so it made posting the position as available that much easier.

Some of the navigation through the website was a little hard to get the hang of at first. But nothing that kept me or anyone else on my team from using it to post jobs.

It allowed us to quickly move through candidates based on the knockout questions and allowed us to manage and track candidates more efficiently! I loved using Workable

Recruitment is a numbers game to a greater degree. Workable manages numbers and find candidates.

The app is a little clunky and mostly feezes

Recruitment process and funnel of good candidates.

This is literally the best system I have ever used. So simple to set up and start straight away. You can track recruits easily through the process. The system is adaptable to meet your individual needs and can be tailored to reflect the individual needs of your company. The on line support is rapid and on the ball!

It is costly and not as many advertising outlets for jobs in the UK

Solves the entire recruitment process!

Easy to navigate and use to conduct interviews

Issues integrating with our HRIS (but this should hopefully be resolved soon!)

Interviewing, sending offer letters

Using workable has made our recruitment process very easy. It has been very helpful in managing multiple job posts together and also shortlisting good candidates. It has also been helpful in scheduling calls with the candidates. Overall a good experience.

There is no such downside of using workable. Only if one thing would be added, it could make the overall experience very smooth - that is onboarding candidate.

It has made the recruitment process very easy. We can manage multiple job posts together in one application. Easy to manage and shortlist hundreds of candidates together.

It helps me save time with my HR-related work.

I want a reaction function to the comments section. I would also add more options to the candidates' evaluation (not just like/dislike).

It's an end-to-end solution to talent acquisition for any SME.

Workable posts my job ads on the top job portals, so I receive good traction and responses from talented candidates.

I dislike that I cannot customize the Talent Pool. I work on several roles and would have liked to be more specific with the candidates I place in the Talent Pool, since I keep them for my pipeline.

Workable benefits me in my search for awesome Talent. I really need to just place 1 ad and workable will give me candidates from other job boards.

You don't have to press many buttons to get to what you want. I liked the platform and the way the process is put together. I made our life really easier. Also the support team is really helpful.

Some features were still in the making that we could use right away, but I was happy to hear they are developing something new and exciting for me to use. At the end we were a bit confused to see that we had to pay for another year if we want to cancle the contract.

Workable is solving the problem of pipeline visibility. It is very clear which candidate is in which stage and what we have to do with him/her to proceed. I really like the templates feature both for messages and for scorecards.

Easy to track the candidates through the hiring process.

The back-end setup is a bit more complex.

Allows me to quickly decide which candidates are most appropriate for the job.

Notifications are very helpful, I get emails when i'm tagged on candidates which helps keep me up to date on what I need to review. I like that I can figure out most things without asking for help because the user experience is very intuitive.

Sometimes when the information is transalated from a CV into the fields within workable it can be inaccurate plus it would be super helpful to be able to use these fields to filter candidates.

With so many candidates applying for various roles we're looking to hire for, workable is helping save us time organising profiles and arranging interviews - which ultimately helps us hire rapidly and grow as a business.
