“The automated interview scheduling feature alone has saved us hours each week by eliminating the typical email ping-pong of finding mutual availability. While the email templates are solid as-is, being able to customize them for specific roles or company voice is a nice touch.“

“Workable has introduced many new features, none of which have had any utility for the work we do. When we contacted the customer support, they tend to be friendly and reply quickly, but many of our requests have not been solved, and some of them have been flat-out denied – disappointing considering the high the high investment in terms of money.“

### "Good Quality Candidate Pool"

August 7, 2025

5.0

Been with Workable for 2 years and find better quality candidates than I have with ZipRecruiter. Overall it is one of the best platforms I have used.

Pros

Functional and User-friendly. The database is set for multiple job orders. Easy job posting capabilities. The dashboard is clean, and it's easy to track candidates at every stage. Better quality candidate pool than most larger highly advertised recruitment platforms. The yearly subscription price is a steal.

Cons

I have had no issues or problems with Workable since I started with them two years ago. Customer support is great as well. Always on top.

Reason for choosing Workable

I also looked into Resume Library. Both Breezy and Resume Library had low cost but I went on a trial basis and Resume Library had almost zero candidate for 10 job openings. I think I got one during the trial period and Breezy did not produce enough candidates to make it worth while.

ZipRecruiter became highly expensive and their pool of candidate were very poor for the type candidates I was looking for within the Accounting industry.

### "Several FTEs saved by workable!"

August 7, 2025

5.0

Workable has been a lifesaver for our org! We are a human services nonprofit with hard to fill roles and a very small recruitment team. Workable has allowed our structure to be successful and sustainable by allowing hiring managers to be easily trained and have tools for communication with candidates at their fingertips. It also allows us to see what they are / aren't doing and help guide them along!

Pros

Very easy to learn, the system feels intuitive to use even for our hiring managers who have not used an ATS. It provides a lot of transparency and collaboration.

Cons

Something small, yet annoying, that I dislike about workable of visibility on open and closed dates of archived jobs.

### "Valuable tool, but reporting needs improvement "

August 19, 2025

3.0

I use Workable to effectively manage recruitment by tracking candidates and ensuring no one is forgotten, streamlining our hiring process. I switched from Greenhouse to Workable. We also considered a couple of other tools before deciding on Workable, although I don't remember their names. I use Workable for recruitment purposes, including tracking candidates and managing them through different stages. I find the requisitions and hiring plan features beneficial, and the reports are helpful despite some inaccuracies. Guided onboarding also made the setup process smoother.

Pros

I find Workable indispensable for our recruitment process. It enables efficient candidate tracking, ensuring no one is overlooked and helping manage recruitment stages seamlessly. I appreciate the requisitions and hiring plan features and find the reports helpful most of the time. Additionally, the guided onboarding made the transition much easier and customer service stands out as excellent support.

Cons

The initial setup was challenging due to the data transfer from Greenhouse to Workable, which involved thousands of candidates and different scorecards. This process was crucial and took several months.","The reports feature doesn't always work as needed and sometimes presents incorrect data.","The referral program doesn't fit my needs every time and seems inflexible to adapt to our specific requirements.

### "Good product at a good price"

August 8, 2025

4.0

Really positive. Workable was instrumental in hiring the initial team. It's really good. I've been renewing it for the last three years. Would definitely recommend for startups.

Pros

Workable is a really complete ATS that you can easily customize. Its automation and its integrations work great. Apart from Google Calendar, it really is a huge time saver for managing a lot of interviews that are at the startups. I think it's really customizable which is appreciated and the pricing is reasonable for startups.

Cons

Most of the integrations are really good, apart from the Google calendar. Generating calendar links for multiple people is possible, but really, really hard to do and not very stable. That's the only pretty negative thing I have to say. All the rest was really good.

### "Workable has all the required functionality for a small business"

August 5, 2025

5.0

Pros

My favourite thing about Workable is that it is so easy to use, which makes it a lot easier for me to educate our hiring managers on the platform and also ensure that best practice is followed throughout our recruitment process.

Cons

There is nothing really that comes to mind, but sometimes I find that the Workable extension for sourcing candidates via LinkedIn doesn't work smoothly.

### "Workable Keeps Getting Better"

August 1, 2025

4.0

Pros

We recently implemented Workable as our ATS at snuggs and are happy with the experience so far. What really stands out is the excellent support from their customer success team - always responsive and helpful. I used Workable a few years ago at a previous company, and I was positively surprised by how much the platform has evolved since then. A wide range of new features were added - that truly enhance the recruitment process: more automation options, detailed reportings, and video interviews. Overall, a great solution for fast-scaling teams. Highly recommend!

Cons

There’s not much to dislike. One issue we had was that some system settings seemed to change without us realizing, which led to situations where candidates who withdrawn from the process still received automated rejection emails. However, once we flagged it, the customer support team was quick to help us resolve it. Aside from that, everything has been working really well.

[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/)

BambooHR wasn’t meeting our needs when it came to recruiting. It’s a decent tool for HR and employee management, but the recruitment features were very limited and not built for a fast-moving hiring process. Workable, on the other hand, is designed specifically for recruiting - it offers more automation, better collaboration features, and in-depth reporting. It’s an improvement and has made our recruitment process more efficient.

5.0

Pros

Using Workable have been a greta journey for our Company and our HR department. The implementation was a piece of cake, the help we received from our account manager was priceless and also have saved us a lot of time with all the incredible feature it provides!

Cons

There were some issues with the integration of Linkedin (job posting) but all of them are resolved now.

### "Really good tool for small to mid-sized companys"

August 1, 2025

5.0

Overall, we are really happy. Workable makes it easy for us to hire across multiple countries and streamline our recruiting process.

Pros

Easy to use, UI pretty clear, made it much easier for us to organize our processes for multiple countries. When we had a problem the customer support was quick to get back to us.

Cons

We are overall pretty happy, and they often publish new updates. I would like some more options to filter jobs but that's just small details.

### "Good for the price"

July 31, 2025

4.0

It's a good ATS, it provides the service we need. The customer support, AI and reporting needs to be improved however

Pros

It is extremely user-friendly - both for the TA team and for hiring manager collaboration. I like how it integrates into other tools, such as Slack and BambooHR.

Cons

The customer support. The post-integration support is essentially non-existant, and I've had to escalate multiple times via the main ticketing system as my account manager would disappear on me. The AI function needs tweaking

### "Great value, and experience."

August 11, 2025

5.0

Very positive. A fantastic system for the price, and one which has already reduced our TTF by over 9 days.

Pros

Customization options make the system very user-friendly, albeit quite time-consuming to set up. The hiring manager and recruiter experience is excellent. The team at Workable are extremely responsive to queries, meaning any issues are rectified quickly.

Cons

The reporting is a little clunky but i am well aware this is on their roadmap to be fixed and rolled out on the next few months,

### "Efficient and User-Friendly Recruitment Platform"

August 11, 2025

4.0

Overall, Workable has significantly streamlined our recruitment process by centralizing candidate management, improving communication, and making applicant tracking much more efficient. While there are some limitations around job archiving and system integration, the ease of use, transparency, and time-saving features make it a valuable tool for our hiring needs.

Pros

Workable is extremely intuitive and easy to navigate, making the hiring process smooth for both recruiters and candidates. I particularly appreciate the automatic email feature, which saves time and ensures consistent communication. Another valuable aspect is the ability to see the complete history of candidate movements, allowing for quick tracking and improved collaboration within the hiring team.

Cons

One drawback is how jobs are automatically archived when not in use, which can make them less accessible when you want to quickly reference past postings. Additionally, the lack of integration that would allow Workable to directly feed data into our ATS system is a limitation, as it requires extra steps for data transfer and record-keeping.

### "Great great great!"

July 31, 2025

4.0

Honestly, it's been great. I like the tool a whole lot more than any of the other ATS I've used. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Workable.

Pros

We used another ATS for a year before onboarding Workable. Our previous ATS was not user friendly and we needed a tool that would be easy to use and train hiring managers on. From my first call with the Workable team, I knew this was the tool for us. Workable allows for a seamless collaboration between the recruiters and team leads. So many of the features built in are incredibly useful and allow for a great candidate experience. We are excited to see the new features that Workable brings to the platform as they are always trying to improve the tool.

Cons

I Think the AI candidate scoring needs some work. I know this feature is rather new and AI is improving everyday, but this is the one thing I think needs more work. The AI scoring on most candidates is off and not relevant.

### "Workable - an intuitive ATS solution"

August 1, 2025

5.0

Easy to track the data and the processes, super intuitive because just by navigating for a few minutes you will learn how to use Workable.

Pros

Workable is an intuitive ATS, where you can easily integrate it with other tools, such as LinkedIn Recruiter. It provides different reports, and you can also customize it connecting the database to a reporting tool you use. Easy to track the progress of the candidates, sharing information with the hiring team, it\`s an everyday tool that helps us in recruiting to keep track of our processes and pipelines. When I needed help to get access to the database, the customer support team helped in an efficient and fast way.

Cons

Even though there's some customization on the reports, the reporting features could be still more advanced.

It's easy to move candidates though the process, schedule interviews and attract candidates. This has made it so much easier for our company of 100+ employees to find the right talent.

### "Comprehensive Applicant Tracking Systems and Recruitment Process Management"

August 6, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Workable has been highly positive. It serves as a comprehensive recruitment solution by enabling efficient job postings to multiple career sites, maintaining a professional career page, streamlining candidate tracking throughout the hiring workflow, and seamlessly transferring successful hires to our HRMS. This integration has enhanced process efficiency, improved organization, and significantly reduced the time spent on recruitment activities.

Pros

What I value most about Workable is its ability to centralize the entire recruitment process—managing job postings, maintaining a professional career page, tracking candidates through each stage, and seamlessly transferring successful applicants to our HRMS

Cons

The primary drawback of Workable is its limited flexibility in tailoring recruitment workflows to specific organizational needs, along with the additional costs associated with certain advanced features and add‑ons.

### "Workable was the Solution for our Talent Management needs."

August 1, 2025

5.0

We chose Workable because it offered the perfect balance of functionality, ease of use, and scalability. Compared to other platforms, Workable stood out with its clean interface, built-in sourcing tools, and strong applicant tracking features without being overly complicated. It was also easy to onboard our team, and the customer support has been responsive and helpful. Overall, it gave us everything we needed to streamline hiring while being flexible enough to grow with our recruitment needs.

Pros

What I like best about Workable is how intuitive and user-friendly the platform is. It streamlines the entire recruitment process—from posting jobs to tracking applicants and communicating with candidates—all in one place. The collaborative features also make it easy for our hiring team to stay aligned and move quickly. It has definitely helped us save time, stay organized, and make better hiring decisions.

Cons

None really, I find it really helpful in so many ways with our day to day operations. We love using workable.

Overall, my experience with Workable has been positive. It’s easy to use, keeps our hiring process organized, and has helped improve efficiency across the team.

Pros

Workable is intuitive and easy to use, making it simple for both recruiters and hiring managers to get up to speed quickly. The one-click job posting and collaboration tools have streamlined our process and helped us reduce time-to-fill while improving the candidate experience.

Cons

Reporting customization options are limited, and onboarding features aren’t as robust as some other platforms. Even with these areas for improvement, Workable remains a reliable, user-friendly ATS that delivers strong results for day-to-day recruiting.

Overall, my experience with Workable has been positive. The platform is intuitive and makes managing candidates and the recruitment process efficient. I appreciated the collaboration features and the ease of tracking applications. While there are a few areas that could be streamlined, it’s a solid tool that supports the hiring process effectively.

Pros

I really appreciated how user-friendly and intuitive Workable is. The platform makes managing candidates and organizing the recruitment process straightforward and efficient. I also liked the reporting and collaboration features, which make it easier to keep the team aligned throughout the hiring process.

Cons

While Workable is generally very intuitive, I found that some advanced features, like custom reporting or bulk actions, can take a bit of time to navigate or set up initially. A bit more guidance or tooltips in these areas could make the experience even smoother.

### "Good platform and constant improvements"

August 8, 2025

4.0

My experience with Workable started atleast 3 years ago and Workable had good features and a good platform from the start. Made a lot of improvements over the years, bringing in AI wherever needed and making it more user friendly. I did face issues with automation not going right but over time, it was fixed and improvements were made. Overall, I had a positive and growing experience with Workable, and I'm still using Workable.

Pros

Workable has a good platform, dashboard and reporting features. The job posting was made really easy, integrating AI into this made it easier to catch mistakes and create JDs. The use of AI to find the right candidates is helpful; we can judge based on it and review it better. We could bring in any team member to review profiles and add their reviews. So communication was made simpler. The job ads can be shared or used internally so everything was very secure and no data was lost or shared unnecessarily. The candidates' interviews were smooth with feedback internally and communication with the candidates externally was done on the same platform. Workable is connected to right external job platforms so we get the right candidates and a lot of them as well. The automations gave us more time to spend elsewhere. I did interact with customer support but not very often, which goes to say that their product is really good. But everytime I did have a problem, it was resolved quickly with good follow ups so customer support was really good. Overall for any company, Workable is a good value for money

Cons

I faced some issues with automation and integration not working according to our requirements but they were fixed or made it more easier to access and create. I feel that the number of options for disqualification is a lot and we have to select everytime individually. If it could be made more generalized or in a different way, it would be better.

### "Happy Workable Customer"

August 14, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with Workable has been very positive. The platform is easy to navigate, user-friendly, and makes the hiring process run smoothly for both my team and our hiring managers. They have been a great partner to work with and are always looking ahead. I like that they are constantly innovating, adding new features, and improving functionality. It shows me they are growing, listening to their customers, and investing in ways that make the product stronger over time.

Pros

Workable is simple to learn and easy to navigate. Both my recruiters and hiring managers picked it up quickly without any hand-holding. Implementation was fast, with no need for IT involvement, so our HR and recruitment teams could get moving right away. The automation is strong too, with features like interview scheduling and email templates that take a lot off our plate. The ability to collaborate directly in the hiring plan keeps decisions moving without scheduling more meetings. From my perspective as a leader, the monthly spotlight recaps are valuable. They surface the right information at a glance, user permissions that may need updating, candidate pipeline stats, time-to-fill, without me having to dig through reports.

Cons

It would be great if we could create custom candidate assessments directly in Workable so everything lives in one place. Reporting could also be easier to work with and offer more real-time triggers, like flagging when a candidate has been sitting in one stage for too long. The interview assessment section could use some upgrades. Without scoring or qualification options, it’s harder to compare candidates side-by-side. And in the archived jobs area, being limited to alphabetical sorting is frustrating. Having filters for date posted, department, or location would make it much faster to find past roles.

### "A seamless hiring process from start to finish"

July 29, 2025

5.0

Very positive experience with Workable and I am proud to use such a seamless and slick ATS which really helps me do my job to a high standard.

Pros

I've used Workable at my current company and at my last employer, so over 5+ years now. I've used other ATS platforms previously and I find Workable super simple to use in terms of viewing jobs, candidates, reports and being able to move through the entire hiring process in a seamless and slick way. I love the team collaboration in that hiring managers can raise a new requisition, it goes through to Finance for approval, I can begin hiring and once we've offered the candidate the role I can send their employment contract via Workable and it then integrates with our HRIS and onboarding can begin. I am unsure if many other ATS platforms offer this complete end-to-end process which we find incredibly beneficial for a smooth experience for our candidates. Being able to set up all templates and schedule candidate interviews where the system integrates calendars makes it simple and easy when you are working on multiple roles with hundreds of candidates. Customer Support are very responsive, willing to help, friendly and solve questions quickly.

Cons

When I first started using Workable there was limited filtering options to sort through circa. 800+ applications, which was painfully time consuming and as someone who likes to ensure a fair candidate experience, I would need to look through every application and get back to every single candidate. Now they've introduced more filtering options like specific skills searches, key words, locations etc, this really saves time on shortlisting.

Overall, it's been a very helpful ATS for our team. Of course, there's always room for improvement nevertheless, we've been able to grow our team with the help of Workable.

Pros

I really like its ease of use for our organization's recruitment team as well as for the whole company as well. Its features are very straightforward and the automations are quite a big help to a growing team. We decided to use Workable for its integrations with our existing tools.

Cons

As we are a fast growing company, there's a lot of information stored in the system which might contribute to it slowing down. Resumes and profiles take some time to load which contributes to screening taking longer than it should be. I would have also preferred that there were more screening question options and easier filtering during screening as well.

### "Workable works well – just make sure that their features fit your needs, because they're inflexible when it comes to requests"

July 31, 2025

4.0

Pros

Workable has a well-thought-out structure that covers most use cases that our company needs. The website works well, mostly without any bugs, the user interface is clean, and it makes it relatively easy for our team to manage our applicants, even for those of us who are not tech-savvy. We have never had any issues with the safety of our data, as the website gives us varied security features to grant different privilege levels to our team members, and as far as we're informed, there have never been any leaks. The features for team collaboration are decent enough to support most of our needs, though they don't fully cover all of our needs.

Cons

When it comes to the value for the money we invest in the website, I'd say we're considerably disappointed. Workable has introduced many new features, none of which have had any utility for the work we do. When we contacted the customer support, they tend to be friendly and reply quickly, but many of our requests have not been solved, and some of them have been flat-out denied – disappointing considering the high the high investment in terms of money. They've stated that our team's traffic on their website is unlike any of their other clients, and yet, they haven't made any effort to implement very simple features that we requested, such as making a form mandatory.

### "Must-have recruiting platform"

July 31, 2025

5.0

Best companion with Linkedin to direct candidates to complete a job application within minutes (if not seconds) and follow up with recruiters right away. From employer perspective, super easy to track the status and talent pool for each role/channel.

Pros

The easiness to search within the platform by key words (candidate name, role, etc.) and followup directly within the platofrm and via integration with outside platform e.g. G-suite.

Cons

none. But i do hope that in the near future they could come up with an advanced feature to produce all Workable records re a certain candidate into a separate folder for the purpose of record keeping. For now, we can only perform key word search and print the pages searched. Neverthess less it is a very rare request.

### "Does the basics!"

July 1, 2025

4.0

Workable has been a reliable, easy-to-use ATS that covers the core needs of day-to-day recruitment—especially for managing active pipelines and collaborating with hiring managers. The platform is clean, intuitive, and works well for reactive hiring with clear visibility over candidates’ progress. However, its limitations become more obvious at scale or when trying to move toward a more proactive, data-driven, or automated recruitment model. Reporting is only powerful when paired with BI tools, and it lacks flexibility for talent pooling, CRM-style outreach, and custom workflows per region. This creates manual workarounds and slows down strategic initiatives like internal mobility, long-term candidate engagement, or region-specific hiring processes.

Pros

Clean, intuitive UI for both recruiters and hiring managers. Visual hiring stages help you track progress easily. Email and texting features allow you to message candidates directly in-platform. Templates save time and ensure consistency across outreach.

Cons

Limited Reporting Functionality (Without BI Add-On) Native reports are quite basic and not very flexible. We rely on the BI data link + Power BI to get deeper insights, which adds complexity and cost. Interview scheduling, especially for multi-stage panels or group interviews, can be clunky.
