Workable Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

It is easily accessible and easy to learn

I dislike that sometimes it has a glitch

It is helping me hire for my job

Workable replaced an old process of posting jobs manually on many job boards, etc. It is the home for our job postings, where our careers page links to, and how we get our openings online. Workable makes it easy to get free and paid job postings up in the best locations for them online, and is simple enough that all hiring managers can use it to quickly post, internally submit for edits/changes/referrals, and eventually publicly post their open roles externally.

I wish we could more easily target specific job boards depending on what the role was (i.e. more specific job boards for devs, etc.). Some of our roles source not great matches from specific sites and it would be great to turn that pipe off in those cases.

Hiring pipeline - takes a LOT of time to post the same job and manage it on many job sites that potential employees will be on. Once you're hiring many roles at once it is too much for one person to manage. At the end of the day it's a scalability problem and Workable let's one person do all that work efficiently.

The personalized service at implementation.

That the new hire does not automatically get a copy of their signed offer letter for their files.

Managing the recruiting efforts with a small team.

What I like the most, is the ease of doing everything, it is a platform that is super "user friendly".

What I don't like is that you have to pay to be able to have other sources of work.

Have a better control of our candidates, and be able to know exactly in which step they are, in order to give them feedback.

It is easy to use and amazing support, from my initial request for information all the way through my direct account manager who is extremely helpful and quick to respond.

There is nothing about the system and service that I have not liked.

We needed a robust system that would allow our department team leads to see their candidates and where we could track the time to hire data analytics. Having all candidates funnel into one department/site has been extremely helpful in allowing our teams to be more efficient during the interview/hiring process. We love the people search function that we can source potential passive candidates and to start a conversation with them as well.

What don't I like? The scheduling function is quick, easy and functional. I love the templates too!

It would be nice to have a dashboard view of all of those in the interview phase, actual names and role.

Solving staffing needs. Benefit of being very efficient software.

The ease of use and features of the platform -> very user-friendly and intuitive.

It was a bit hard at the begging to get used with all the features -> nut it was mainly because I didn't use this type of platform before

Centralizing all the candidates -> easier to group them with hashtags, for example Mass answers to a group of candidates -> before the platform we were unable to give answers to all of the aplicants.

I like Workable because it's very simple to use.

I don't like it because you have to download the profile of the candidates the moment you enter from mobile to workable.

finding new profiles

Auto parsing is the best fitur, it was very easy when we have to upload CV

Screening fitur, in Workable using # but need to improved, We also need to download interview result in excell or csv format from every position

We are solving some problem like add new hiring stages, and add interview form, it was very helpfull

User Friendly, reliable, easy, and efficient.

Nothing to diskile in workable thank you.

Helps in the tracking of candidates and time saving for recruitment.

The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. As a first-time user, I don't have any problem in using the product. I particularly like the tabs that sort candidates at different stages.

I don't find any major issue in using Workable. However, there is a minor inconvenience when there are many candidates that apply to a particular position. The current layout requires a lot of scrolling before you can see all of the candidates. Perhaps there is an alternative layout to display more candidates and reduce scrolling.

We are trying to fill a particular position within the company. With workday, it is straightforward to identify candidates and their stages of the application process.

The status workflow. I can quickly review candidates to see if their skills and experience are a match. We share candidates between hiring leads and can see the comments left on each candidate.

The candidate's application page has a lot of information (that's good) which means there is a shortage of real estate on that screen. It makes it a little hard to navigate.

Central location for candidate applications that is shared with multiple hiring leads.

The interface and usability of Workable are very good. Everything is in a logical location which makes it easy to find. It can automatically post open positions to a number of free and premium job boards. Managing responses, teh various interview stages, ruling candidates in/out and sharing feedback across our team is very easy with this platform.

There is little to dislike about the platform. If I was being picky, though the UI is easy to use it does not feel very modern.

Managing the volume of responses from jobs boards, keeping everyone involved in the process informed and tracking people who re-apply are all difficult with email/other offline solutions. Workable vastly improves this.

Good User Experience. Clearly, to see the interview process of each position. The candidate can reply the email directly and the feedback will show on the system.

The feedback in the message system i replied via app will not be showed on the web version.

I want a to B interview process management system. Easy to communicate with every shareholder.

It has a very user-friendly interface and comes handy at all times

Nothing as of now that I dislike here as the functionality it contains are estremely good

I mostly use it for hiring purpose and it helps me simplify the entire process

I can search for Global Talent and have the candidates in on space and you can tack their movement in the interview process

Nothing I can think of at the moment to be honest

Recruitment, Candidate tracking, Candidate relationship management, Talent referral,

The ease of use and the mutliple functions

The fact that the referral module is not part of the main system

Having a single database with all candidates information, ensuring proper reporting and KPI's.

A great way to work collaboratively in a very remote world as team members work virtually. It captures and shares all comments and ensures you take candidates through the right processes - more importantly, consistently. The templates are great to use too, and key dates can be synced to your calendar.

The ordering of the candidates. It would be better to be able to group of candidates in more groups than available to. Such as possible interview, strong likelihood to interview.

Aligning with other members of the team without having a check in. You can add comments very quickly and instantly. This was usually a challenge to respond to CVs that came in as we work virtually

The workflow is a first-class process for finding and hiring talent. Talent recruitment is a very labor intensive activity which Workable greatly simplifies.

Maybe not possibly using the tool correctly; it is difficult to clear the clutter if there are many candidates that have been disqualified.

The product greatly simplifies and streamlines the administration process of posting, recruiting, interviewing, assessing and hiring talent.

Having visibility to all roles being recruited across functions and the ability to see progress in moving candidates through the pipeline. Ability to move candidates seamlessly between roles if a candidate is a better fit in a position that differs from their chosen role. Finally, the different ways in which you can rate and provide feedback on candidates and keep the comment trail and correspondence organized.

Nothing comes to mind at the moment thanks

We are using workable as our recruiting solution

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.
