“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 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 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had was that some system settings seemed to change without us realizing, which led to situations where candidates who withdrawn from the process still received automated rejection emails.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 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.

### "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.

### "Workable Has been a game changer "

August 4, 2025

5.0

Overall my experience has been a 10 out of 10 from the set up to using and sharing with others. It has saved me time especially with generating reports. The automatons have also saved me time as well. It has really leveled up my recruitment game.

Pros

It is so user friendly from sent up to using to sharing candidates with other team members and only sharing the jobs relevant to them. How easy it is to generate reports, the automatons, saving and snoozing candidates, how easy it is to manually upload a candidate and the system pulls everything from the resume to create the profile. The interviews run smoothly and if using assessments it add the assessment questions to your scorecard so helpful! The Ai profile overview, being able to ask the system questions and it will point you to multiple resources, our account manager has been super helpful and the set up process was very smooth. Cost is also very affordable compared to other competitors.

Cons

One thing that I wish I could do was schedule rejections letters if I cancel the automated one. Sometimes that automated message take to long to send due to why its set up and weekends so I wish I could still send the rejection earlier then the system will but not at the second I generate it. Not sure if that makes sense.. The other thing that was odd was I could not add applicants in the system to the talent pool only new people so I created my own talent pool so I could track applicants I wanted to reach back out to.

### "Workable Makes Talent Acquisition Seamless and Scalable"

August 4, 2025

5.0

Workable has become an essential part of our talent acquisition strategy at Master Builders Solutions. As a Global TA Partner, I appreciate how easy it is to use, both for recruiters and hiring managers. Implementation was smooth, and the system quickly became a central tool in our hiring process. What I love most are the AI features and automation—they’ve saved me countless hours. The AI Recruiter recommends strong candidate matches, and the system takes care of repetitive tasks like follow-ups and interview scheduling with minimal manual input. It also excels in attracting quality applicants. Job ads reach a wide network with minimal effort, and we’ve seen an increase in both volume and quality of applications. Overall, Workable is a reliable, modern ATS that simplifies global recruiting without compromising depth or functionality.

Pros

Intuitive interface Excellent candidate sourcing Smart automation features Time-saving AI tools Smooth team collaboration

July 31, 2025

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

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.

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

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

### "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.

### "Good platform - does what it needs to "

August 2, 2025

4.0

Overall it’s good - we considered alternatives that had better HR ability and payroll intergrations but ended up sticking with Workable for value for money.

Pros

It’s great for hiring - I like how it Integrates with job boards. Seamless ability to move candidates through the pipeline and ability to create interview kits and amend workflow is great.

Cons

Ai feature on assessing cvs needs work - often inaccurate scoring. Being able to arrange interviews for 20 minutes would also be better rather than 15 and 30. Making it more clear when an applicant has applied before would be better too.

We migrated from a different system two years ago but went back to Workable, as it's better than the others that we have tried.

Pros

It's easy to use and helps streamline our hiring application process. The features are also easy to use and helpful in filtering and categorizing the applicants in our hiring streams.

Cons

### "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.

### "Very simple and ux friendly"

August 20, 2025

4.0

When we started using Workable, our recruitment processes were completely disorganized. Each country managed its own vacancies using Excel and email, and from HQ we had no real visibility of what was going on. Once we implemented Workable, we began posting all job openings from a single place and sharing the processes between the local teams and the corporate team. That allowed us to define a unified workflow and, for the first time, have real-time visibility of all open positions across the group. What I noticed the most was the improvement in coordination: before, it could take us weeks to schedule interviews or share feedback, and now hiring managers receive automatic notifications, rate candidates directly on the platform and we avoid endless back-and-forth emails. Another thing we really valued were the reports. Thanks to them we clearly identified which job boards performed best in each country and optimized the money we were spending on posting offers. Overall, the experience has been very positive: it saves us time, brings transparency to the entire process and allows all countries to work under the same standard without losing flexibility.

Pros

Really easy to use. The tool is pretty intuitive. Even people outside HR can follow the process without getting lost.

Cons

No onboarding module. It’s very focused on recruitment. For onboarding, you need to rely on other tools.

### "A very fulfilling ATS experience both from the HR and Candidate perspective!"

August 7, 2025

4.0

Workable has significantly streamlined and automated our recruitment process, resulting in faster time to hire but also higher quality of hires through its standardized workflows, job ad and interview templates and AI functionality. It has also allowed us to improve candidate experience through a quicker, more engaging process incorporating automated actions but also through the standardization of job offers and onboarding letters.

Pros

As the Head of the HR function for Bioiatriki Healthcare Group, I have to highlight that transitioning to Workable has significantly streamlined our recruitment process. The user friendly interface, automated actions, standardized workflows per role interview and job ad templates, and powerful search capabilities integrating AI tools have saved countless hours in screening and scheduling. Furthermore, Workable’s integration with job boards ensures a seamless candidate experience, allowing us to build pipelines of top candidates from diverse talent pools, while the built-in analytics and reports provide valuable insights into our hiring process. I would also like to note that the “hiring plan” add on has significantly streamlined and automated our requisition approval workflows allowing both HR and Functional Heads to participate in the process. From compliance tracking to collaborative hiring, Workable has proven to be an indispensable tool in helping us attract and retain top talent. Highly recommended for any HR team looking to modernize their hiring process and remain up to date with current and future trends!

Cons

It’s difficult to think of several areas for improvement as Workable has successfully answered to our needs and wants in relation to the recruitment process. The one thing that comes to mind is the candidate survey capability (measure applicant experience) that can be further improved down the road.

### "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.

### "Workable is Userfriendly and the Reporting Features are Improving"

July 31, 2025

5.0

Of all of the software our business leans on, Workable is the most user friendly and intuitive. It truly makes a difference in our company's recruiting, vetting, and onboarding process making it standardized and more efficient.

Pros

Workable is user friendly and intuitive. I really like the layout of job pipelines, the ability to customize and standardize vetting score cards at each stage, and it is a centralized workspace that all areas of the business touch in some capacity.

Cons

While I think the reporting features are headed in the right direction, I think there is room for improvement. For example, there is some grayness in the definitions of metrics like time to hire and time to fill. With clearer definitions and transparency around all of the influencing variables, these metrics will be more useful to the end user.

### "Very intuitive, only let down slightly by possible speed/RAM issues."

July 31, 2025

4.0

Workable is great overall, easily one of the better ATS systems I have used, only let down by speed issues on occasion, though that doesn't affect everyone in my team.

Pros

Intuitive - it only take a couple of minutes to teach new managers how to use and what they should be doing. Everything is easy to find and is where it should be thanks to the tabs. Any issues, the support is great and they do try to accommodate things that suit your business. Integrates well with other apps and software. As a recruiter, has all the features I would like such as keywords, multiple locations, job categorisation, reasons for disqualifying and more.

Cons

Speed. There are certain screens where it respond noticably more slowly. It seems like it takes up a lot of RAM on the computer, though some of my colleagues don't report this issue so may be my computer but it doesn't do this with other sites/tabs. When typing, it almost freezes and takes a long time for the information to appear and so to limit mistakes, it is best to type on Notepad and then copy and paste it in later.

August 7, 2025

5.0

As a high-volume recruitment company, Workable helps us efficiently manage applications across multiple vacancies. Its bulk processing features make it easy to handle large volumes of candidates, while the clear pipeline view allows us to track progress at every stage and focus on the most promising profiles.

Pros

I've worked in recruitment for several years and have used multiple applicant tracking systems. Workable stands out as the most effective by far. Its interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate even for new users. The system is fast, reliable, and supports a smooth hiring workflow from start to finish.

Cons

To be totally honest, nothing about Workable feels groundbreaking—but it does everything it’s supposed to, and it does it well. Maybe the IA integration to filter CVs could be more precise.

### "Best system "

August 2, 2025

5.0

Pros

Workable’s user-friendly interface and end-to-end recruitment features are what I liked most. It made it easy to post jobs, track applicants, and collaborate with hiring managers—all in one place. The automation tools for scheduling, emailing, and screening saved us time, and the structured pipeline helped keep the hiring process organized and consistent.

Cons

While Workable is a strong platform overall, the reporting and analytics features could be more customizable. Some metrics are limited in flexibility, making it harder to tailor reports for different stakeholders. Additionally, certain advanced features may require higher-tier plans, which might not be accessible for smaller teams with limited budgets.

### "Workable transformed our hiring process across regions"

August 7, 2025

5.0

y overall experience has been excellent. Workable has helped us reduce time-to-hire, improve coordination across international teams, and deliver a better experience to both candidates and internal stakeholders. It’s a reliable tool that grows with your team’s needs.

Pros

Workable makes it incredibly easy to manage a large number of open roles and candidates in one place. The user interface is clean and intuitive, collaboration with hiring managers is seamless, and the automation features (email templates, interview scheduling, etc.) save a lot of time. I also appreciate the integration with job boards and LinkedIn.

Cons

The reporting capabilities could be more robust—while the existing analytics are helpful, they lack flexibility for deeper custom insights. Also, the mobile experience could be improved for recruiters on the go.
